Prepare 6. Unit 19-20

Read the article about Green Valley High School and tick (✓) the things the students can do there.

School is fun!

My sister’s school is called Green Valley High School. It’s a modern school in a quiet town in Canada. It has 40 classrooms, two science labs and three computer rooms. There is also a big sports field and a new music studio. The students really like spending time there. The school opened 80 years ago, and some parts of the building are very interesting and traditional.

Students start going to Green Valley High School when they’re 11 years old. They can leave at 16, or they can continue studying until they’re 18. Students study many different subjects. Everyone has to study English, maths and history, but they can also choose art, robotics or music. Students don’t have to learn another language, but many of them enjoy studying French and German.

Students at Green Valley High School have to wear a uniform. They wear a blue jacket, white shirt and black trousers or skirt. Teachers think uniforms help students feel part of the school community. My sister loves her school very much, and my cousin hopes to study there one day too.
