Betty: Hi, Irene. How are you? Haven't seen you for ages!
Irene: Hi, Betty. I'm fine, thank you. It's good to see you. We have moved to a new apartment and I now go to another school.
Betty: I see. And, how is your new school? Do you like it?
Irene: It's ok. I quite like it, although I miss my old classmates and teachers.
Betty: You can always come and visit them, you know.
Irene: Yes, I know. I'll do that soon.
Betty: Tell me a little bit more about your new school. Is it large or small? How many floors are there?
Irene: It is a newly built three-stored building right behind our block of flats. So it takes five minutes to get there.
Betty: That's a real advantage. Is the school well-equipped?
Irene: The classrooms are large and light and they are situated on each floor. However, the ground floor is mostly occupied with the gym. The equipment is up-to-date. There are new and comfortable chairs with desks. This school also has a number if laboratories in different subjects, such as Biology, Chemistry, Physics. There are even language labiratories there.
Betty: I see. Sounds like you're getting used to your new school. What is your favourite place at school?
Irene: I have a few. Firstly, I really like the school swimming-pool. Secondly, I enjoy being at the PE ground, which is outside. And, thirdly, I like the library.
Betty: Does this school have a large library?
Irene: Yes, it does. It has a huge library with a good choice of books. I often stay there after the lessons. You can find even foreign literature there.
Betty: That's great, Irene! Does your new school have any computer classes?
Irene: Yes, there is a modern classroom for Informatics. Each student gets a computer of his own there. I enjoy these lessons.
Betty: Sounds good. And, have you already made friends with somebody from your new class?
Irene: No, I still haven't made any close friends there. However, there are several pupils who I often talk to. We sometimes go for a walk after school and I enjoy their company.
Betty: I wonder if it's hard to study at your new school. Do teachers set lots of home work there?
Irene: It's just the same as in my old school. It depends on a teacher. Some of them set lots of home work, some not. In general I like the teachers in this school. They manage to explain everything well and they put just marks.
Betty: I'm glad that you are enjoying your new school. May I visit you sometimes?
Irene: Of course, you may. I'll be happy to see you. Here is my new address and phone number. Call anytime.
