Hello!

My name is Calvin. I am writing this letter to describe my school: Bill Watterson’s school. It’s a secondary school.

I like my school. It seems to be a bit old, but it’s cool and has got character. The teachers are nice and understanding, and we have lots of activities, so we never get bored.

There are interesting places to go. There are a gymnasium and a big playground. Some pupils like going there after classes to play football. That’s my favourite sport: I call it Calvinball! I created my rules...

There is also a library with lots of old books. At first it seems to be an unpleasant place to stay because of the dust in the bookshelves. In the library there aren’t only books; there is a television, a computer, some magazines. We can play chess or even cards in there.

Then there are the classrooms. They are many. I didn’t count them. They are cosy and comfortable. There are some specific rooms, too. Some of them are called laboratories. There is a laboratory of Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Maths. There is one computer room, I think. Pupils can go there to do their project works or homework. This is the best place for me. Finally, there is a music room. I play the flute. I think I play it well, but my teacher doesn’t agree.

I really like studying here. My favourite subjects are English and Maths.

I love my timetable. I get up at 7:25 a.m. to come to school every day. I have classes at 8:20. I finish at 3 p.m. every day. It gives me time to do after-school activities like theatre. I am studying languages and I go to the Language Club three times a week. There I can read magazines in German and French, watch a foreign video and listen to music.

I think that’s all for today. I will send a map of my school for you to see as it is really big!

Write to me and talk about your school and your timetable.

Your friend,

Calvin.
