UNIT 3. WHY GO TO SCHOOL?
READING
Ex.1 p.36
Many students dislike school, because they don’t get good marks, and pressed by other parents and by teachers or they don’t have friends at school. Others like school, they are going to get their education, and enjoy taking part in different school activities.
As for me school is not only a place of education. It is a place where I can develop my skills in different clubs. Besides at school I spend considerable time with my friends. That’s why I cannot imagine my life without school.

SPEAKING
Ex.1 p.44
What does your classroom look like? Would you like to change anything about your class? – Our classroom is small, but light. There are new 8 desks and 16 chairs, a black-board, one teacher’s table and a chair. As for as our classroom is specialized one there is a good equipment for studying English with computer equipment and different table on the walls. I don’t want to change any think about our class. There are a lot of flowers on windowsills.
My favorite subject is English. I think it very much depends on the teacher. She is very tactful and patient. We never see her face angry or unfriendly and she is a very good professional. I think it is useful to know English because it is international language. When I come home I have dinner, then I rest a little. Sometimes I talk to my friends over the telephone. After that I start preparing for lessons. I do not often forget to do my homework. I am neither hard-working nor lazy student.
Have you ever been late for school? When? Why? What happened? – No, I haven’t. I live not far from my school.
I don’t like to be a teacher because I think it is very hard to teach children and communicate with their parents.
We have an opportunity to take part in dramatic, sport and art chubs. As far as I like basketball I participate in school and interschool sports competitions.

I look forward to receiving your response.
Your faithfully,
Vlad Ivanov
