2. Does your school have any traditions?

Our school is one of the best schools in our town. It has got a lot of traditions. The first of September has truly become the Day of Knowledge as our school gathers together the teachers and pupils of all ages. Traditionally the first lesson has become a talk devoted to the history and culture of the Republic of Belarus.

Every year pupils are given an opportunity to participate and become winners in different contests, shows, competitions, Olympiads. The most interesting event is the English Language Week. It is usually held in December and encourages pupils to display their language skills in various quizzes, competitions, parties. They are usually devoted to history, culture, outstanding personalities of English-speaking countries.

Today it is impossible to imagine our school life without holidays we mark together with our schoolmates and teachers. Victory Day is considered to be one of the most important national holidays. Though it becomes more and more difficult to organize pupils’ meetings with war veterans everything is done to enable pupils to learn about the horrors and misery of war from those who experienced them. Flowers are brought to the monuments to honour the memory of those who lost their lives during the Great Patriotic War.
