On each floor there are classrooms, teacher offices and, of course, a WC. On the hallways there are notice boards, which offer some information for students, decorating pictures, cabinets and glasscases. Except classrooms there are in our school also some labs. Lab is a room with special equipment (video, camera, TV-sets, slide projector, screen), it has more comfortable desks, all furniture is on the high level, and there are notice boards and glass-cases with special aids. In our school is physic, biologic, chemistry lab and two special classrooms with computers. On the contrary an ordinary classroom has three rows of desks and a teacher's desk with chairs. There used to be a blackboard with chalk and a sponge in front of the classroom, these things are replaced nowadays by a felt-tip and a cloth. I think this is better, because I have allergy to dust of chalk. On the wall there is a notice board and some pictures or maps. In the corner there is a washing basin, without a mirror and soap, a waste paper basket and lino on the floor. White walls are quite dirty and cool. What I miss is some decoration. I think that there should be some because it is one of a few things, which make difference between an animal and a man. In some classes there is also a video, televisions and overhead projector.
What is a typical day of a student of this school? The tuition starts at five to eight, after the bell rings. We have about six or seven lessons a day on average. When the teacher enter the room, we all stand up to greet him. He marks entry in the class register, marks absent students and then he starts the lesson with revision of the previous lesson. He examines somebody individually by asking him to come to the board and tells him to do some exercises, explain a problem and to respond to teacher's questions. Sometimes the whole class takes a written test. Then teacher evaluates student's performance by giving him a mark. The best mark is one and it is given, when the performance is fluent, perfect and creative and the worst is five, which is given when the performance is disappointing. Some students spoil their performance because of nervousness. After examination the teacher explains us a new subject matter and practises it with exercises. Before the end of the lesson he sums up the topic and gets homework. The teachers are supposed to follow the curriculum but they are free to choose textbooks for their students. Then the bell rings again. Each lesson lasts exactly 45 minutes but the breaks aren't of the same length.
