School Day

My mane is Kate. I want to tell you about one of my school days.

I am studying in the 9th form. My class is not very bit. There are only twenty people in my class. There are eight girls and twelve boys. We all very friendly and always trying to help each other. Me and my classmates live nearby, so we often meet after school to play different games and just walk.

Today is Monday and my lessons begun at 8 o’clock. The first lesson was history. The teacher told us about the ancient Rome. It was a very interesting lesson! Then we had a break, when I talked with my classmates as usual. There were a few more lessons left, my favourite one was one of them. I like geography because we have a wonderful teacher who give us a lot of useful information about the world. We learnt many exciting things in each lesson. Today I was called by the teacher to answer in front of the whole class. I worried so much! It was a good idea to prepare for the lesson at home, so I got an excellent mark. My parents are always happy when I get excellent marks. They often praise for good studing.

When my lessons were over, I still had some free time to spend it with my friend. We walked not for a long time, so that I had time to do my homework that was quite a lot for tomorrow. I have to prepare to my music school lessons as well. I am very happy that the school day was useful for me.

Школьній день

Меня зовут Катя. Я хочу рассказать об одном своем дне в школе.  

Я учусь в 9 классе. Мой класс не очень большой, всего лишь двадцать человек: двенадцать мальчиков и восемь девочек. Мы все очень дружные, стараемся всегда друг другу. Мы все живем рядом и часто собираемся после школы, чтобы погулять и поиграть в разные игры.

Сегодня уроки начинались в 8 утра. Первый урок – история. Учитель рассказывал нам о Древнем Риме. Это был очень интересный урок! Потом у нас перемена, на которой я как обычно болтала и играла со своими одноклассниками. Потом ещё несколько уроков. Сегодня был тяжелый день, но среди уроков был мой любимый – география. Мне нравится география, потому что у нас замечательный учитель, который каждый раз рассказывает что-то интересное. На каждом уроке мы узнаем много нового. Сегодня, например, я отвечала у доски. Я так волновалась! Но все хорошо, ведь я подготовилась к уроку дома. Я получила пятерку за свой ответ. Мои родители всегда радуются и хвалят меня, когда я получаю пятерки.

Когда закончились уроки, у меня осталось немного времени, и мы с подругой пошли гулять, но ненадолго, потому что на завтра задали много домашней работы. К тому же, мне ещё нужно подготовиться к занятиям в музыкальной школе. У меня остается совсем мало свободного времени, но я рада, что день не зря!
