7. Translation text
• School years
• Some students like school, others think they hate it, but they all study for ten or more
years and gain knowledge and develop experience by doing many different tasks. For
example, students who are doing well in most subjects and have particular interests in
going onto higher-education school is attractive place. But those who are not
successful with their grades and are always pressed by teachers and their parents,
considered school is boring and interesting. School is not only a place of formal
education, it’s a place where students can develop their skills in social relationships
and increase their tolerance and mutual respect for each other. At school, we can
enjoy different cultural and confidence-building activities and at the same time.
Everybody has an opportunity to take part in dramatic and musical performance at
school or class party, in school or inter school sports competitions. These activities
provide variety to the main educational programs and can also be enjoyed away from
school and outside regular school hours. Now many of them such as sports like
basketball, football and volleyball and other more intellectual interests such as
maths, science, writing and debate are organized through clubs. School is the main
social environment for young people. At school we make our best friends and spend
considerable time going together to dances, concerts, discos, and the cinema.
