Hi Ann,

Thanks for your letter. It was very interesting to read about your school. In Ukraine we have excellent schools too. We have many light classrooms, science labs, two gyms and even a court. We are allowed to play volleyball on the court. But I am not crazy about sports. I enjoy singing. I sing in our school choir and my best friend Sveta plays the piano in the school orchestra. On some holidays we hold concerts in our school assembly hall. They are great fun; some pupils even perform plays in it. Our principal supports all the ideas of pupils. She is a good teacher of Mathematics too. But Mathematics is not my favourite subject. I like to write compositions. Last year my composition won a prize. I described our school exhibition of wall papers.

And what about your activity at school? Do you have to go to the canteen? Have you got lazy bones in your form?

I’m afraid, I must hurry now.

Best wishes,

Helen.
