MY SCHOOL
The name of my school is Nguyen Tat Thanh School. It is situated in the middle of the town I live in. It is a very large school. The school building is old but beautiful. There are many class-rooms in it. The principal is a middle-aged woman. She is a kind and very efficient woman. The teachers of my school are from many places. Some are from North Vietnam, Central Vietnam and some are from South Vietnam.  They are all very clever and hardworking teachers. All the pupils like them very much. As there are many pupils in my school, the library, the playground and the hall are all








very large. The pupils may be seen learning in the library, playing in the playground or performing gymnastics in the hall with great interest. I am indeed proud of my school.









MY TEACHER
The name of my teacher is Miss Lan. She is a very pleasant lady. She is tall and slim with long black hair and an oval face. Miss Lan likes children very much. She is devoted to the children in the class-room. She does not get angry easily. If some pupils are slow to learn, she takes great trouble to explain all the lessons slowly so that all the pupils can understand the lessons well. Sometimes, she also brings certain things into the class-room to explain a lesson. For example, one day she brought a toy ape to explain what an ape was. This makes her lessons very interesting






indeed. Miss Lim, sometimes, also takes all her pupils out for a visit to some interesting places. She believes that children could learn a lot by travelling. Last year she took our whole class to Ho Chi Minh City where we visited many interesting places such as, the museum, the zoo and amusing parks. I am indeed very proud of my teacher, Miss Lan.










WHY I LIKE TO GO TO SCHOOL
A school is a place for learning many things. It is also a place meeting boys and girls from all kinds of homes. It is therefore a very interesting place indeed. In a school pupils learn all kinds of subjects such as, mathematics, English, History, Science and many other subjects. Learning these subjects makes pupils cleverer and wiser. They become better persons when they grow older. Pupils also learn how to behave towards their elders as well as others. In school, teachers always talk about the importance of good manners. They also explain how to develop good manners and









behaviors. Besides, pupils learn all kinds of games to develop their bodies and minds. They learn to be good, brave and hard working and to think for themselves. They also learn to depend on themselves. All this helps to build up character which is very important to everyone. As there are many pupils in a school, there is also much to learn from them about the people who live around us. Each pupil comes from a different kind of home. Some pupils come from poor families; some come from rich families; some have no parents; some have good parents, and some have careless parents. Therefore, mixing with pupils








from such a variety of home helps one to learn a lot about human affairs. It is for all these reasons that I like to go to school.















Good luck!
