SCHOOL CONFESSIONS

2. I’m in love with one of my teachers! ___________________
3. My school is not very big but it has got a club.___________________

4. The teachers at my school are not very nice.___________________

5. School is a good place to do interesting things. ____________________
6. I love learning about places and the teacher.___________________
7. I don’t behave very well in classes. .___________________

I like school because I’m in a very special class.
We are all very close and help each other a lot. I
don’t have excellent marks, but I’m OK. Maths is
sometimes problematic, and so is Chemistry, but
there are other subjects that really fascinate me,
especially Geography. OK, I confess! It’s the
Geography teacher that fascinates me, not the
rivers and the countries. He’s so sweet!!
THERESA, 13
My school is a small old building.
It is not very clean nor much
organized, so I confess I don’t
like it very much. My school
friends are terrific, but my
teachers are boring. I am a
member of the sports club and
therefore spend a lot of time
playing tennis, football and
roller-skating. The club and my
school friends are the only good
things about school. ERIC, 13
I confess that I don’t really hate
school. I just pretend I do because I
think that is cool. That’s why I try to be
a lousy pupil, get terrible marks,
annoy my teachers and tease the
good pupils in my class.
I am very popular around here, you
know? Girls love me… all right, all
right, maybe they don’t really love me,
but that’s just because they are too
young to appreciate my type!
BEN, 13
School is OK but it’s terrible to
wake up early every morning to
catch the school bus. I usually feel
very tired in the evening, but I always
do my homework before going to
bed. You see, I really want to be
successful at school! I have great
difficulty in French and English, but
I’m quite good at Art and Science.
They’re my best subjects, so I am
probably going to be a creative
scientist in the future. The future,
yes, I confess the word attracts me!
ROY, 14
I must confess I am crazy about
school! I have wonderful teachers
here, fantastic friends, a modern
library with heaps of books on
astronomy and a radio station! You
know, I’m one of the DJs, and I have
a great time when I’m on the air,
playing my favourite CDs for the
whole school.
As for homework… well, it’s always
nice to think of school when you are
sitting at home with nothing
interesting to do!
TOMMY, 14
