Hello! My name is Mary. I’m eleven years old. I’m in Class One, Grade Five. Welcome to our school! Look! This is our library. We borrow books from the library. We read storybooks there. In the library, we must be quiet. We shouldn’t drink or eat in it. Here is our language lab. We usually have English lessons from Monday to Thursday. Now It’s time for class. The teacher is telling a story about the Tiger King. He is the king of all the animals. He doesn’t obey any rules. All the other animals must do the housework for him. Mr Elephant must clean the house. Miss Mouse must cook food for him. Miss Rabbit must wash his clothes... The students are listening to the teacher carefully. There is a music room, an art room in our school. We can do many interesting things there. Our school is big and nice. I like it very much.
