School life in Ukraine
My name is Sabrina and I'd like to tell you about schools in Ukraine. The right to education in Ukraine is guaranteed by the Constitution (Article 53). Every boy and girl must get secondary education; it means that secondary education is compulsory in our country. There are state schools where education is free of charge and private schools where students have to pay for their studies.
I live in Rubizhne Luhansk region and study at school #2 specializing in English and French. My school was built more than 50 years ago. When I was 10 I left primary school and went to a secondary one.
Now I am 13 and I am a student of the eighth form. We go to school from Monday to Friday. We usually have 6 or 7 lessons a day.
Every school has its own timetable which includes such subjects as Maths, Ukrainian and World Literature, Physics, History, Geography, English, French, Physical Education and other subjects.
According to the school timetable we've got Informative Technology, Art, Music, Handicrafts, Health and Care. I am good at all of them.
Lessons begin at 8 am and last to 1 or 3 pm. We have some breaks for lunch for every class and
rest.Our teachers give us home tasks after almost each lesson, but we like go to school.
