19. I am a secondary school student in Sichuan. I go to school five days a week. My favourite subject is Maths and I study very hard at it. My classroom is on the ground floor ， you can go through a long corridor and then find it. It is very clean ， because we never litter about and always put the rubbish into the dustbin. We have ten minutes of break between the two lessons. After school, I like playing football and seeing films. I am interested in American football very much because it sounds so exciting! Autumn is coming and tomorrow is my sister’s birthday. Now I am taking a lift to go back home to send her a gift- a nice rubber. Find out any word you learned and change it into another one: high school Math first floor hall garbage can. recess soccer movies. football Fall an elevator eraser.

20. My name is Akira. I am from Japan. In my school, there ’ re boys only. I walk to school like many of my classmates in my uniform. Many of my friends have to take the bus. I know it seems strange to travel so far to school, but it is worth because my school is very good, Students have to score very high to come to my school. In the school, I like Maths best, and I often go to the art club. We have to clean our classroom at the end of each day and make sure that it is very well cleaned at the end of the week. On weekends, I often chat with my friends on the Internet and we can spend time together. We always try to be polite and to help our school keep its good reputation. I am proud of my school.
