"Typical school
School buildings in our country look very similar, only their size differs depending on the number of students, who attend them. They are usually large buildings with a few floors and often a sportsground is attached. In the basement or on the ground floor, there are cloakrooms with student´s lockers. On the other floors, there are usually long hallways, many classrooms, toilets, teacher´s offices, the administrative office, the head´s and deputy head´s offices.

Our school
Our school is called the Grammar School of Nicholas Copernicus. The school building consists of 2 parts - old building and new building.
In the basement, there are cloakrooms with student´s lockers. On the ground floor, there is a vestibule, where students can spend their time during breaks or free lessons. From vestibule, you can go through the corridor to the school canteen or to the new building or to the old building. In both the buildings, there are classrooms and teacher´s offices. The administrative office, the head´s and deputy head´s offices are situated on the 1st floor in old building and on the 2nd floor you can find an assembly hall. In our school, we have two gyms - bigger and smaller, a fitness room and next to the school there is a playground.
Some students live in dormitory, which is located almost next to the school canteen.

Typical classroom
In normal classroom, there are usually large windows opposite the door, school desks in rows, chairs, a teacher´s table, a blackboard with chalks and sponge, a projector and a cloth or an interactive whiteboard.
In school, there are also some special classrooms such as a chemistry, biology or physics laboratory, computer room and language labs. In these rooms, there is a special equipment (headphones, maps, cassette recorder).

Typical lesson
After the bell, teacher enters the classroom, students stand up to greet him. He makes an entry in the class register and then starts the lesson usually with revision of the previous lesson.
Sometimes, he examines the student. He asks somebody to come to the blackboard and gives him questions.
After examination, the teacher explains a new subject matter and before the end of the lesson he sums up it. "
