My school is quite big. There are many classrooms, a library, a gym and a large playground. There is also a small canteen next to the playground.

I usually arrive at school at eight o’clock. I meet my friends at the entrance and we go to our classroom together. Our teacher is very nice and she always helps us.

My favourite place is the library because I love reading. I also like the playground because I can talk and play with my friends there.
