Dear David,
I’m writing to you to tell you how much I like my new school. I like everything: the
teachers, my new friends and the food there.I like classrooms, too. They are nice with
large windows, comfortable desks and carpets on the floors.
Our Headmaster’s name is John Crook. He is a very nice man and he is also our maths
teacher.
Halliford School is a private school. Classes begin at 8.50. School is over at 3.55. My
friend and I usually meet at half past eight. Our lunchtime is from 12.40 tO 1.50.
We study on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
We usually wear uniforms at our school. It is a blue jacket with the school badge
on it, grey trousers, a grey or a white shirt, grey socks, black shoes and a tie. When it is
cold we wear pullovers and coats.
I am older now,I am twelve . My friends and I spend much time outside. Sometimes
our teachers take us to famous museums and other interesting places in London.
That’s all for the moment.
Write to me as soon as you can. Hope to see you !
Love, Alan
