Step 1: Writing about you ideal senior high school life

Model answer

My name is Lingling. I am seventeen years old, and am in class 2. My favorite subjects are mathematics and physics. I am very happy in our school because it is a small secondary school, and you know most of the students and teachers here. I wouldn't like to be in a big anonymous school. I think the timetable is mostly good, but I would like some more free study time to work in the library. I also think the long holidays should be shorter, but there should often be long study weekends-say three or four times a year, we should have Friday to Monday off to complete projects.

I would like there to be more out-of-class activities like in American and British schools. I am a member of the gymnastics group here, and that is great, but in my opinion there should be a film society for us older students, where we could see films from lots of different countries which don't come to our cinemas. It would also be a good idea to have other societies which met at lunch-time, so that students have something different to do between morning and afternoon lessons-a music club, for example, where we could hear different kinds of music.

It would be nice if there were other special events for the final year students, too. For example, a dinner-dance in the evening two or three times during the year. Another great idea would be to go away as a class somewhere for a week, just to get to know each other better and have a good time in a nice place. Of course, studying hard and doing well at school are the most important things for senior high school students, but learning how to interact socially is important, too.
