Школа - это особенное место. Это место, где я расту и беру мужество, дружить и формирую свою личность. Я учусь в средней школе № 9 в Даугавпилсе. Она известена своим академическим совершенством и строгой дисциплиной. Школа представляет собой трехэтажное здание типичного дизайна. Перед школой разбит небольшой сад с красивыми цветниками. Школа хорошо оборудована и есть все приборы для изучения и проведения экспериментов в различных предметных областях. Я хожу в школу 5 дней в неделю. Занятия начинаются в 8:00 утра. Каждый день у нас 8 или 9 уроков. Школа обычно заканчивается примерно в 3 часа. Мы участвуем и во внешкольных мероприятиях. Учителя нам развивать критическое и творческое мышление, формировать наши взгляды и характеры, наше отношение к жизни и другим людям. Я помню их всю свою жизнь.
