A School You Attended at Some Point in Your Life
Tell me about a school that you have attended at any time in your life.
You should say:
what you learnt at the school and who taught you
what the school campus was like
whether the school and the teachers were as you
expected
and explain how the school helped you improve your future prospects (or not).
• My middle school = I spent so much time there.
•
Describe the classrooms
• Playground + surroundings
• Uniforms
• Teachers + classmates
Let me tell you about my middle school. I studied at Number 3 Junior High in Fuzhou and I
think I can say I am very familiar with the place because, as a teenager, I spent so much time studying
and hanging around at school. As you may know, Chinese students are required to study six days a
week and our schedule is usually very tight. We almost considered our school as a second home
since we spent more time there than anywhere else.
My school was a rather large school, with about 3000 students. You need to imagine large
classrooms, packed with students. I think there were around 55 students on average in each class.
The classrooms were not very modem but I can't say that it was totally old-fashioned as we had
access to a computer in most rooms. There were electric fans on the ceiling and the desks were not
made of wood like in schools in the countryside.
At Number 3 Middle School, there is a huge playground with about 8 basketball courts. Boys
love to play basketball at recess or after school. Girls usually walk around and chitchat with one
another on a bench. In Fuzhou we have big banyan trees and there is an impressive one at the
entrance of the school. The buildings have 5 floors and from the top, you have a nice view of the
surroundings.
At school, we used to wear traditional uniforms every day and, although many students
complained about it, I think most students were pleased not to have to worry about what to wear
every morning.
Teachers at school were quite professional. Number 3 Middle School has a good reputation
and teachers are qualified and experienced. I learned a lot from them, especially from my Chinese
teacher, Mr. Wu. He was a passionate and fascinating teacher who always had a nice word to say in
order to encourage us all. He taught me how to remain positive and enthusiastic.
I also kept in touch with many of my classmates and we try to get together whenever we come
back to Fuzhou. We always reminisce about high school.
