LIFE
IN FRONT SCHOOL

It's a pleasure to write this composition because
it gives me an opportunity to tell you something about
my life in Front School and how much I enjoy it.
Want to know my everyday routine? Here it is:
Usually, I get up around 6 o'clock, using a few minutes
to tidy up my bed. Then I wash my face and have breakfast
( a bottle of milk, some cracker ). After packing my
bag, I go to a park nearby where I can sit down and
practice oral English with my classmates.
From 9:30 to 12:00 , a foreign teacher, Simon, gives
us lectures. He is tall and thin. Also he has a pair
of the most impressive blue eyes. I guess that's the
reason why he always puts on blue shirts (so as to match
the colour of his eyes ). Generally speaking, Simon
is a kind of easy-going person. We get on well with
each other. I find he is enthusiastic and responsible.
Whenever in role-play or presentation time, he listens
to every sentence we speak out carefully, in order to
find out what we tend to ignore and correct the wrong
pronounciations grammar or expressions. At the very
beginning, I thought myself well-read and my oral English
quite good, but after taking his course, I've come to
realize how ignorant I really am. Just from casual conversations
and informal presentations, I've learnt more about what
the real English language is in the past 2 weeks than
what I've learnt by myself from all oral English books.
Thank you, Simon.
Time to eat ! For making full use of lunch break, I
always have my meal quickly so that I can take a nap.
Getting refreshed, I attend John's lectures. John
prefers that we call him Johnny to show we are friends.
Actually we are. Every afternoon, my classmates and
I do a lot of discussions and debates. I enjoy it. That
is due to the good teacher, Johnny who tries his best
to teach us not only some language skills but also the
way of thinking in English. I still remember what he
said at his first class, "learning English is a
life-time work. It can be rewarding or just a waste
of time. It's up to you and depends on how you study
it. From now on, be thick-skinned and speak up!"
Yes, as the saying goes--Rome wasn't built in a day,
we can't expect a big improvement in a mouth. But I
think what Johnny wanted was to give us a push on practicing
oral English. And he made it.
How time flies! One-day's classes are finished!
After super, I have to go back to my dorm-the biggest
headache for me, just because of poor living conditions.
Not to blame , I miss my little cubicle of a room at
home !
Anyway, the dormitory isn't supposed to be the right
place to review my lessons .
Considering the heat wave outside, an air. Conditioned
classroom will be surelly everyone's best choice. So
all the classrooms are always crowded and my classmates
and I have to get there early for a better place. We
show great interest in our studies. Some study in the
classroom deep into the night, reading listening or
speaking. What's more, we occasionally choose one classroom
our English corner for fellow classmates who want to
help each other with oral expressions and share some
techniques on how to improve their English level. The
same goal--making progress makes us become a close-knitted
class.
So, you see, life here is opening up a new perspective
that brings as much excitement as enlightenment.
I'm a little bit reserved and can't express my feelings
by words. One thing I want to tell you, I'm sure life
have will be a colourful and fruitful period.
