come up to her before the lesson and explain the situation. I’m sure she will understand
you.
— But you are good at Maths, Mike. What’s the problem?
— Oh, Mike, don’t be silly. You’d better tell the truth.

Lesson 8
Choose a perfect school for every pupil.
1) Hampton School is situated in the centre of the city. Its location is convenient
to get to by any kind of transport. The classrooms of our school are equipped
with all possible up-to-date facilities such as computers, video, and laboratories
for studying Chemistry, Biology and Physics. There is an excellent library which
contains different types of encyclopedias, books of classical and modern writers.
Pupils of our school study core subjects like Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology,
English, History and Information Technology. You also may choose some extra
subjects such as Latin, Astronomy or Economy. Our pupils attend school six days
a week and have seven-eight lessons a day. But they don’t have any homework
to do.
2) Greenhill School is situated outside the town in a beautiful park. It has wonderful
sport facilities – two tennis courts, a swimming pool, two football pitches and
15. 14 UNIT 1. Back to schoolpage fourteen
stables. There is also a big gym, equipped with modern simulators, and a large
and comfortable Art studio. Skilful teachers will help your children to study music,
painting, sculpture and dancing. There is a car-parking place in front of the school
and there is a bus stop. A school bus takes children to school and back home.
3) Willow School isn’t big, but it is rather old and has its traditions. There aren’t
many pupils in our school, but there are well-known economists, politicians and
journalists among our school-leavers. Our school has strict rules and every pupil
has to sign a code before entering this establishment. The teachers of our school
will prepare you for taking exams to enter the best universities of our country.
You will get excellent knowledge on the subjects you choose. You will also have
an opportunity to study modern foreign languages as well as Latin and Greek.
4) If you want to study History, Literature, Languages and Art as well as Math,
Biology, Physics and Information Technology, you should come to Melville School.
There is also a good computer class and a library. There isn’t a large gym in our
school, but there is an Assembly Hall for concerts and theatrical performances.
There are a lot of studios which pupils can attend after classes. Our school is
situated in the oldest and the most beautiful part of our town, so it’s near to
public transport. There is also a car-park behind the school.
a) I’m fond of learning foreign languages. It’s so interesting to
communicate with people of different countries in their native
languages. I would like to learn Greek to read “Odyssey” in the
original. To find a connection between the past and the present
is wonderful and mysterious at the same time. I dream to enter
the best university in our country. But I have to work hard to
pass my exams.
b) I hate big and prestigious schools. They are always situated in
the centre of towns where there isn’t fresh air. They are always
equipped with computers and other up-to-date things, but they
have very few facilities for going in for sport. Pupils in these
schools know nothing about famous painters and musicians. I’m
good at Art and I would like to study painting. I also want to
have an opportunity to do sports. And I hate public transport.
c) Studying science is interesting and useful. I’m sure, Physics,
Chemistry and Maths will be important in my future profession.
Using a computer is also necessary nowadays. I would also like
to study Economy. Perhaps I will become a good economist.
What I don’t like is Literature and foreign languages. I’m sure
with the help of modern computer programs it’s not that hard to
translate any article from any language.

looking for the murderer, but everybody who knew the killed person disappears one

d) “The Knock at the Door” is a story about the life of an ordinary policeman, Inspector
