Reading
A day at school
by Sam
I am a junior high school student. I love going to school.
My school is close to my home, so I always go to school on foot. Classes start at 8 a.m., and I am seldom late. My favourite subject is Geography. I enjoy learning about different places in the world.
In the morning, we usually study Chinese, Maths and English. We have our morning break at 9:50 a.m. When the bell rings, I run to the playground with my best friends Tom and Jack. We often play games. Break ends at 10:10 a.m. How short it is!
Lunch is from 11:50 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Afternoon classes end at 3:30 p.m. Then Tom, Jack and I take part in the school band practice. We make great music together.
I always have a good time at school.
