Written by: Jenan S.Adnan Shubbar Class: 4 Chem 5 6 | P a g e Module -6- Dream School You are studying in a new school, but you still think it could be better. Write an essay about your ideal school. Currently, I’m studying at Jidhafs Secondary School. It is a very big school located in Jidhafs Town. It is a bit old and was opened in 1984. There are more than four buildings, each with two floors. Jidhafs School is a very good school but it needs some improvements. In this essay, I’m going to describe my ideal school. My ideal school would be called “The Stars”. It would be a huge school located near the sea in Amwaj Islands. There would be more than three buildings; each building consists of three floors. There would be 1000 students only! The classes would be big and wide. Also, they wouldn’t be full; each class would not have more than 20 students, so they can feel comfortable and free. My dream school would have many different facilities. For example, there would be a big library that would have different kinds of books and 7 computers. Students can use the Internet and finish their projects at any time. Also, there would be a coffee shop and small restaurants instead of the cafeteria with lots of tables and chairs for 7 | P a g e students to sit on. Moreover, there would be a huge fountain surrounded by colorful plants and flowers, a guitar shaped swimming pool and a bit cage of birds for a better learning environment. Not to mention the electronic class that would have 40 computers all connected to the Internet and three smart boards to make lessons more fun and interactive. My ideal school would start at 8:00 am and would finish at 2:00 in the afternoon. There would be 6 periods. There would be subjects like Arabic, English and Math in addition to the creative and remedial classes every week. There would also be after school activities such as drama club, chess club and a music club that would be full of instruments. The rules would not be so strict and so different than Jidhafs School, for example, the students can wear anything they want. There wouldn’t be a uniform! Also, the students can bring their phones but they are not allowed to bring cameras. Students should sign some papers if they were late. To sum up, my ideal school would be so amazing! I wish the Ministry of Education could build a school like this in Bahrain. In my opinion, all the students would like to join the school.
