Tales from childhood: Different sides of person.

On that day Sophie's teacher didn't visit the school. So, the lesson was taught by another teacher. She worked there for many years.

The children had to learn the verse at home and recite it at school.

"Students, let's read the verse!" the older teacher said and looked at Kate.

"Come on, you answer." the teacher said.

"I didn't learn the verse." Kate said.

"Badly." the teacher said.

"Can you answer your homework?" the older teacher said and looked at Anne.

"I forgot about my homework." Anne said as she lowered her eyes.

Sophie and some of the other students recited the verse well or not.

The next day, the teacher and students discussed what happened.

"Those who didn't prepare their homework showed themselves on the bad side. Because this teacher has been working in our school for many years. Anne's brother is in tenth grade. She knows him. Some of your parents studied here, too." the teacher said.

After these words, many children really thought.

Tales from childhood: New buildings in the town.

Sophie lived in the suburb. Some people even called it a city. There you could get on a bus and get to the capital in ten minutes.

But the suburbanites were proud of what they had: parks, theatres, museums, cafes, and their own symbols. Little Sophie often saw her town in the school books. The history teacher would often tell the story of the suburb. 

Sophie and her grandmother regularly went to parades and celebrations in the center of a small suburb.

One day, Sophie noticed that construction had begun.

"Grandma, look here are building new buildings," little Sophie said.

"Yes, new interesting places will soon be built here," granny said.

Three months later, beautiful buildings and symbols of the city appeared in the center of the suburb.

Once at school, the students and the teacher decided to discuss these new buildings. Sophie said that she liked it. Others liked them, too. Also, the teacher said that there are beautiful places in her village.

Seasons.

(This is my own poem).

Winter is white season
Around there are ground and
Clean snow.
Breeze and freeze are often appear.

After cold months.
Arrives warm season
Name spring, time of
Colorful flowers and trees.

Summer sun shines for all.
Students and pupils have long holidays.
People from big cities trave to South places
And swim in the sea.

September, October, and November
Are part of the year
Fall called the last season,
Yellow leaves, grey sky, long rains there are.

Physics is one of the hardest school subjects and sciences. Therefore this subject is taught in high schools.

Some laws of phycics have been discovered in ancient times. There are complex physical formulas. Atoms and molecules are an important part of this hard science. Light and electricity work by the laws of physics.

Famous scientists who studied physics: Aristotle, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein. Today scientists study this science too.

Perhaps physics is more difficult than mathematics. If math is necessary to understand, for physics than physics is more difficult. There is a common subject on physics-chemestry. This science also has complicated formulas.

Language Arts.

Language Arts is one of the most important school subjects for students. Knowledge of the native language is very needed. Literature is a part of Language Arts. Grammar and word game is what this science studies.

Little children in Elementary School, begin by studying letters and sounds. Then they can read abd write in their native language. Some children can have difficulties with it. Teachers need a lot of patience.

Several years later these students can write essays on the books they have read.

Also, in schools foreign languages are studied. When children can read and write in their native language, another language is added to them. Students learn to speak, read, and understand the new language. Sometimes a second language gives more options for the future of education.

There are people who can speak several languages. It is good for travels because not all people know English.

Over time, you can forget even the native language, if you don not support it.

Learning languages is important.
