Physical education
• Physicaleducationis one of the most liked subjects. Pupils feelat ease
whenplaying sport. They run, scream, play hide and seek, do everything
they like. P.E. teachers let us do what we like. They are not so strict
because they know that it’s our own
way to release the stress inside of all the
homeworks,subjects that we have
everyday.
• This doesn’t meanthat we don’t follow
a program. We play basketball, handball
and gymnastics.
• We have a footballteam. It has wonmany cups but it’s not so excellent.
We don’t have clubs or other acitvities that enable us to have fun.
Arts and music
• Arts and music are students’ favourite
subjects. Withphysicaleducationarts and
music are so enjoyable. Students paint,
sing and listento music. Youare not
obligedto write and write and write. Even
we don’t have musicalinstruments at

3. schoolbut we follow the rythm that our teacher plays withour knock on
the desks. Unfortunately, we have music only in the 7thform. However
we have arts in the 7th, 8th and 9th forms, thank God.
