On the Internet you can find a lot of sites where teens from all over the world write about their schools. Here is a letter from Tracy, an American student, about her school.

1. What does Tracy like about her school?

   My school, which is private, has about 650 girls of different age. It is on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. I love my school! There are so many cultural and educational opportunities for us. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, for example, is five blocks away.

   In my school, there are a lot of facilities for sport. I took part in almost all activities and sports, including softball and volleyball.

   My school also does an excellent job preparing us for college. Our teachers help us to develop our skills and succeed in life.

   I hope to enter a university in Pennsylvania this coming fall.

   The only negative thing I can think of about my school is the fact that my school is far from home. It takes me 45 minutes each way.

   What types of school are there in your country? What school do you study at? What do you like about your school most of all? What don’t you like? What are your plans for the future? How does your school help you to prepare for the future?
