School really plays an important role in our life. You may like it or you may not but we spend so much time at school that it becomes our second home. And no doubt this is true. What is the role of school in modern age? First of all it is making students literate. All students study for eleven years to get knowledge. And the most important role of school is giving knowledge. There are students who like studying because they are doing well in most subjects and they are going to continue their education after school, get higher education. But for those who are not successful in schooling and who are always pressed by their parents and teachers school becomes boring and not interesting.
The education given at our school is of a very high standard. I'm a good student actually and I don't have many problems with schooling. I generally get on quite well with the teachers. I am quite successful in class and I usually go to school with pleasure, because I like my school and my teachers.
I think school gives me not only knowledge. Children are taught real life there. School helps us understand our life better. School is a place where we create and develop our relationships, are taught to be tolerant and respect one another. And school teaches us principles and how not to lose face in difficult situations.

«Соседка, слышала ль ты добрую молву? -
Вбежавши, Крысе Мышь сказала, -
Ведь Кошка, говорят, попалась в когти льву?
Вот отдохнуть и нам пора настала!» -
«Не радуйся, мой свет, -
Ей Крыса говорит в ответ, -
И не надейся по-пустому!
Коль до когтей у них дойдёт,
То, верно, льву не быть живому:
Сильнее кошки зверя нет!»
Lady Rat and Mistress Mouse.
(translated and adapted by Integrius).
A little mouse, Mistress Mouse,
Once came to clever Lady Rat,
Who has invited her to house
To have a dinner “tte--tte”.
“O, Lady Rat, if you don’t know…”
- The Mouse’s telling her so fast. -
“The Lion caught the Cat – I hope,
We’ll live without fear, at last!”
“You shouldn’t be so happy, Mouse,”
- Old Rat is answering, – “I bet,
if they are gonna fight right now
- Tomorrow Lion will be dead.
The strongest beast, of course, is cat!”
