My school years
Nowadays we are often told that school time is the best period in people`s life. There are many reasons for this opinion. I agree with it. But some people have argument against it.
School years are the happiest ones for me. In the first place good education is essential. I need it for my future life and my career. In the second place I have many friends at school. I have met my close friend here. We get on well with each other. She is able to listen to me, to give a good piece of advice. Her support helps me feel calm. If you ask me about school friendship, I am sure it`s forever. We have been friends with Alina for ten years since we were six. We listen to bands like Muse. Besides just listening to music we have been drawing almost every day for four years. In the third place we take part in extracurricular activity. I can`t imagine my life without arranging school parties, picnocs, Nature days, sports competitions, Playing the roles in school performances, painting the posters, making plans for concerts have become the focus of my life.
However, other people think school is boring. But I believe everything depends on you. Moreover students worry about the lack of free time, only school and homework. I think people cannot organise their time in a proper way. So it leads to the problem of managing their spare time. Other reasons are difficult subjects and worries about exams. If you do your best you won`t worry about it. Everything is in your hands!
In conclusion I`d like to say the majority of students in my class think school years to bethe happiest days. I have the same opinion.
