A lot of girls here are part of the theatre "Grace". It is the girl's favourite school club. They come here after classes to learn about designing clothes

your friends. Besides, it is the best way to get a good education. The teachers encourage us to work our best because they want us to succeed in life. We are never afraid to take test or exams. We can go and see a teacher for help anytime. We study all the compulsory subjects and there are a lot of optional subjects. The discipline is rather strict at school. We watch less TV than we did it at home but there are a lot of other interesting activities to take part in. In the evening we do anything from dancing to playing games. We go on school trips and do a lot of sports. But, of course, I sometimes miss my family.

he Chinese people? Do you think it’s a good idea to learn about environmental problems like climate change at school? In theUKtoday schools want to teach new subjects, not traditional ones. They want to teach students about things that are important today.

For example,Chinais becoming a very important country for business. Some teachers think it’s better for students to learn Mandarin at school than Spanish or French. At the moment French is the most popular language inUKschools but it’s not very useful for the students’ future jobs.

Geography lessons are also changing. Some people think it’s more important to learn about modern environmental problems in geography than to learn about continents and countries.

A lot of people don’t like the changes. They think it’s important for children to study traditional subjects at schools and learn different subjects later. Of course, parents want their children to learn EVERYTHING but unfortunately there isn’t enough time in the day and I’m sure children don’t want to stay at school in the evenings too!
