My school is a beautiful place with trees and a lawn. I’m glad to be a student of this school. The library is my favourite place. We can read, study, and listen to interesting lectures there. The food in our canteen is delicious. During lunch, we can talk about something fun.
We learn more subjects at middle school, such as geography, science, and history. I love the new subjects. Sometimes they are difficult, but our teachers are always happy to help us.
My classmates are also friendly. We like playing games during breaks. Helen likes tug-of-war, and I like playing basketball.
There are a lot of clubs and activities in our school. Every Friday afternoon, I’m so excited to go to the paper-cutting class with Rita. We really look forward to the festivals of science and art, and the sports day in October.

Li Ting:
Hello, everyone. My name is Bob. I’m a student at Lakeside Middle School. At school, I have a lot of subjects, but my favourite subjects are English and maths. I like numbers. I also like learning languages.
I’m Sam. My favourite subject is geography. My geography teacher is Mr Brown. He is a big tall man, and he looks like Santa Claus. It’s lots of fun learning about the cities and countries from Mr Brown, so geography is my favourite subject.
Hello, I’m Li Ting from Yueshan Middle School. The subject I like at school is physical education (PE). I love it because there is a lot of time for sports. I also like computer science. I can learn computer programs very easily.
He looks like Santa Claus.
他看起来像圣诞老人。
It is lots of fun learning about the world and the cities and the countries from Mr Brown.
从布朗先生那里了解世界、城市和国家非常有趣。

Teachers in my eyes

My teachers are funny. And they never stop smiling. They are very patient. If you get a question wrong, they’ll explain it to you, and they’ll help you get the right answer.
The teachers kind of know me as a student. They bring out the best in kids. I just think that they’re really good teachers.
They always want to help you and they always want to change how they’re teaching to best fit your learning style, which I think is really nice and kind of them. They learn more about you and you learn more about them.
I really like Miss Sharkin because she’s like a really fun and energetic teacher and she makes us think.
They are very patient. If you get a question wrong, they explain it to you, and they help you get the right answer.
他们非常耐心。如果你答错了问题，他们会向你解释，并帮助你得到正确答案。

Today we are going to talk about what to share in our school introduction video. First, I’d like Lucy to tell us what her idea is. Would you begin, please
Well, in my opinion, we must show people how beautiful our school is.
That’s a good idea. What do you think we can shoot
Oh, there are a lot of great places in our school, such as the modern buildings, the green trees, and the beautiful flowers.
Sounds great! Now, Bob, could you share your ideas with us
I’d like to share the wonderful activities in our school. Do you remember the singing competition and the sports festival All the students really had a great time, and people must be interested in them.
Yes, indeed. So what do you think of Bob’s idea, Allen
I totally agree with him.

And do you have any other ideas
Well, I think it’s a good idea to share more about our daily life at school. For example, we can record our morning exercises and the active students and teachers in class. Also, don’t forget the delicious food in our canteen. I love it!
Wow, you have come up with so many wonderful ideas!

What’s your favourite subject
I think all subjects are interesting, but science is my favourite.
What do you like about science
I find science enjoyable because it helps me better understand our world. It really opens my eyes.
It is helpful, but I think it’s too difficult.
Then what subject do you like best
Well, I hope we can have music class every day! I love all kinds of music, and singing makes me feel relaxed. I also join the Music Club.
That’s why you are so good at singing.
