Dear David,

I’m writing to you to tell you how much I like my new school. I like everything: the teachers, my new friends and the food there. Everybody is very nice and I feel quite at home now. I like our classrooms too. They are nice with large windows, comfortable desks and carpets on the floors.

I think our school has got a wonderful name. It’s called Halliford School. Our Headmaster's name is John Crook. He is a very nice man and he is also our maths teacher. Halliford School is a private school. Classes begin at 8.50. School is over at 3.55. My friends and I usually meet at half past eight. I join them in the schoolyard before classes and we talk, play, sing and laugh a lot. Our lunchtime is from 12.40 till 1.50. We study on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. We never have classes on Saturday and Sunday. There are many subjects in our timetable. They are: English, Maths, History, Geogra- phy, Handicrafts, P. E., Music, Art, Com- puting. I think they all are very interesting and very important. We have three terms: autumn term, spring term and summer term. We usually wear uniforms at our school. It is a navy blue blazer ['bleɪzə] with the school badge on it, grey trousers, a grey or a white shirt, grey socks, black shoes and a tie. When it is cold, we wear pullovers [ˈpʊlˌəʊvəz] and coats. I have a special uni- form for my football and P. E. classes. I’m sending my school rules to you. We don’t have many, but those which we have, I think, are very important and not be late for school and classes. We must wear uniforms. We must have pens, pencils, rulers, rubbers, exercise books, our diaries and all the neces- sary books for our class. We must hand in1 our home- work on time. We mustn’t smoke at school, and if we have bicycles, we must keep them in a good state of repair2 and we must behave at all times with courtesy, consideration and common sense3, which is not always easy, you understand.

But I'm sure my life here will be more interesting than it was in my primary school. I am older too. I am twelve now. We spend much time outdoors. Sometimes our teachers take us to famous museums and other interesting places in London. Our teachers often say that pupils at school are not only to learn the lessons and work (usually in the classrooms, practical rooms or laboratories [lɐˈbɒrətrɪz], on the sports grounds) but to learn how to get on with other pupils and other mem- bers of the school who look after us and the school. We learn how to live together with people of different ages. That's all for the moment. Write to me as soon as you can.

Hope to see you at Christmas.

Love, Alan

1. Прочитайте письмо Алана и скажите, нравится ли ему его новая школа и почему.

Ответ:

Yes, Alan likes his new school.

He explicitly states he likes everything: the teachers, his new friends, and the food. He feels quite at home, finds the classrooms nice with large windows and comfortable desks, and believes his life there will be more interesting than in his primary school.

Да, Алану нравится его новая школа.

Он прямо заявляет, что ему нравится все: учителя, новые друзья и еда. Он чувствует себя как дома, считает классы уютными с большими окнами и удобными партами, и верит, что его жизнь там будет интереснее, чем в начальной школе.
