Presenter: Good afternoon! Today we have asked five people to give us a short interview and share their opinions about their schools. Now we would like to present their opinions to you.
Speaker A. My high school in Germany is not big at all. Actually, only about a thousand people. The good thing is that we are all very united. You see, in a German high school, there are students from ten years old to twenty years old and sometimes there can be bullying. Fortunately, that is not our case. We get along well. The older students are very kind and help the younger ones. I believe we are lucky to study in such a family environment.
Speaker B. My high school is in the very centre of our town and children from different cultural backgrounds go there. Half of the students are Spanish, but also there are many people from Asian countries, especially China and Korea. We also have students from Latin America and Russia. I really enjoy being part of that diverse community. Our cultures and backgrounds are different, but we are learning to respect each other and I truly believe it's a great experience!
Speaker C. My high school has a very good reputation in our town and it deserves it. All my classmates are very motivated and focused on studying. It's difficult to learn in this environment because you have to keep up with your classmates – nobody wants to look like a loser. It's also exciting, it feels like a race. But we do help each other. We've got special classes where students of the same year help each other with the most difficult matters.
Speaker D. I live in the centre of the city. Fortunately, my school is nearby and I spend lots of time there. I mean I go there not only to learn, but also to do sports and other recreational activities. The school is really well-equipped. We have two gyms: one for games like football and volleyball, the other for gymnastics and acrobatics. There's also a swimming pool. It's not large, but it's fine anyway. And there's an open-air sports ground, which I particularly enjoy.
Speaker E. I've changed school recently and though I still have many friends in my former school, I like my new one very much. It's located in an old three-storey building. The first thing that impressed me was that the school looks very traditional from the outside and very modern inside. The classrooms are light and spacious, the corridors and lobbies are large and arranged in a high-tech style. There's even a winter garden on the upper floor of the building.
