1) We have many subjects. They are: Russian, Baskir, English, Mathematics, History, Music, Sport, Physical training, Literature and others. My favorite subject is English. It is interesting and exciting at the history lessons. Our History teacher is a good teacher. He explains a new material simply and interestingly.
2) I live in Tselina. I attend a secondary school. It is not very big but it is very nice. A new building of our school was build in 1999. In front of our school there is a garden for flowers. Not far from our school there is a garden for cabbage, onion, carrot, cucumber, tomato, garlic, beetroot, garden radish and others.

4) My school is great. Especially I like my sport lessons. My favorite sports are basketball, volleyball, ping- pong and football. But at the same time we don’t have enough sport facilities at school. I like swimming but there is no swimming- pool in our school. Our schoolchildren can attend their favourite clubs. I attend basketball and volleyball clubs.
