If you wonder our school life...

1. Our school's scenery
Our school is located on the Nang-Am mountain. So, We can study where the environment is near the natural. Because of the school is located on the mountain, the air is clear and fresh. And we can hear birds are singing. But, sometimes we complain about this surrounding. Because, our school is on the high place, we are hard to attend school. Especially, when we pass the gate of a school, we are out of breath. So we are gasp out. However It is good for our health. And, the four season's view of our school is very beautiful.
In spring, royal azalea come into blossom. Royal azalea has various colors such as white, pink, purple, red. So the school seems like as if the school became a deluge of fire. In summer, We can see the trees in fresh verdure. In our school, there are many different trees. Occasionally, They become a cool shade or supply reflesh air for us. In fall, We can see very big ging-ko. Perhaps, that ging-ko has been live since long ago. Falling the yellow ging-ko's leaves are so wonderful. But ging-ko nut give off a bad smell. In winter, If the snow come down, we will see a great snowscape. It seems like that the world become white. 1/5/06 18:52

2. Daily schedule
We learn various subjects. From second grade, our class devide into two parts. One parts is the liberal arts, the other part is the science. Subject of the liberal arts part are Literature, MathⅠ,Social, Biology, Tradition ethics, Chinese writing, Domestic science, Computer, Japanese. The other hand, Subjects of the science part are MathⅠ,Ⅱ, Physics, Chemistry, Earth science, Biology, French. Of course, learning English is both liberal arts part and science part. We have to go to school untill 8:00 A.M. Because the first class begins at 8:00 A.M. Our classes last 50minutes and after each class, there is 10minutes rest time. We have 5classes in the morning.And, from 1:00 P.M we have a lunch time for 1hour. Then, we take 2classes and we clean up our classroom for 30minutes. After thar, We take 2 supplement classes. And then, we have a dinner time from 6:00P.M～7:00P.M . Finish our dinner time, from that time on we start self-control studying. So, our school is over at 10:00P.M.Actually, It is different from each regions. So, In Seoul students don't have to do self-control studying. But our city Gwang-Ju adopt this studying method. Therefore, we have to do self-control studying. During this time, we prepare lessons for tomorrow or review lessons for today. Also, we do our homework and study for tests. Some students read a book.We spend 14hours at school. We spend much time at the school than at the home. Maybe you can think that our school life is so tired. But it is not true. While we stay at the school, we learn not only knowledge but also precious things such as friendship, cooperation and so on. For that reasons, we enjoy our school life. 1/5/06 18:52
