Our school is the best. In our school, frequent competitions! Our school has a library, cafeteria, classrooms, music, English, mathematics, Russian language and many others! In the library many books. In the dining room is very delicious. But the lessons we learn many new and interesting. But most of all I like English.
Наша школа-самая лучшая. В нашей школе часто проводят соревнования! В нашей школе есть библиотека, столовая, кабинеты: музыки, английского языка, математики, русского языка и ещё много других! В библиотеке очень много книг. В столовой готовят очень вкусно. А на уроках мы узнаём много нового и интересного. Но больше всего мне нравится Английский язык.
