My school is rather big – it is a five-storeyed building. The building is modern – it was built about ten years ago and everything is new here. There is also all necessary equipment in the gym and other classes. The canteen is very light and clean – it is on the first floor. My favorite subjects are History, English and Economics. My favorite teacher teaches History, she is also our form-mistress. To my mind, the best place in the school is a library. I like visiting library, we can also study here. It is very cozy and very-well organized thanks to out librarian. During the breaks I like to chat with my friends and discuss interesting events. In a few months I will have my final exams. I will miss my school very much.

Моя школа довольно большая – это пятиэтажное здание. Здание современное – оно было построено около 10 лет назад и здесь всё новое. Здесь также есть всё необходимое оборудование в спортзале и других кабинетах. Столовая очень светлая и чистая – она находится на первом этаже. Мои любимые предметы – это история, английский и экономика. Мой любимый учитель ведёт историю, также она наша классный руководитель. Как мне кажется, самое лучшее место в школе – это библиотека. Я люблю посещать библиотеку, также мы можем учиться здесь. Она очень уютная и хорошо организованная благодаря нашему библиотекарю. Во время перемен я люблю поболтать с друзьями или обсудить интересные события. Через несколько месяцев у меня будут выпускные экзамены. Я буду скучать за своей школой.
