The ideal school is the dream of every student. I wish that the lessons start a bit later , because it is still dark in the morning especially in winter and I want to sleep all the time . Of course it would be great if we were allowed to choose subjects which we should learn. Well, I do not like Physics and Chemistry! But I love History and Literature and I am fond of English! Suppose that every day we would have only our favorite lessons. And, of course, we would like to choose our teachers. And not because of some of them are good and others are angry. Not in this case. I want to study from experienced, competent and those teachers who love their job and us such harmful and naughty, but we’re so bad. Ideal School is a school where there are classes you don’t want to miss, and when during the holidays you miss you classmates and teachers and you want to run there every morning! Идеальная школа — это мечта любого ученика.Хочется, чтобы уроки начинались чуть попозже, а то утром еще совсем темно особенно зимой и все время хочется спать.Конечно было бы здорово, если бы нам разрешили самим выбирать предметы, которые нужно изучать. Ну, не люблю я физику и химию! Зато обожаю историю и литературу и увлекаюсь английским языком. Пусть бы каждый день были только любимые уроки.И, конечно, хотелось бы выбирать учителей. И не потому, что одни из них добрые, а другие злые. Не в этом дело. Хочется учиться у опытных, грамотных, таких, которые любят свою работу и нас, вредных и трудных, но не таких уж и плохих.Идеальная школа — это школа, в которой не хочется прогуливать уроки, по которой хочется скучать во время каникул и в которую хочется бежать каждое утро!

On the bank of the Hudson River there was a little village, where people told many stories about ghosts. The most terrible was about the horseman without head. Many years ago there was a teacher-Crane , who loved the daughter of a rich farmer - Katrina. One night they were invited to the party. Crane prepared properly and took the best horse. At the party there were a lot of people. Crane found Katrina and they had a conversation. After it Crane became upset and decided to go home. on the road he remembered the ghost story.His horse stopped and he noticed the man with head in his hands. Crane tried hard to get away from him. but when he managed to do it, he ran away and horseman threw his head on Crane. Crane fell of the horse.
