We spend hours, days and years of our lives in education. But how perfect do you think your school is? Imagine you could design(设计) your ideal(理想的) school. What would it be like? We wanted to find out what teenagers around the world thought. Here is some designing from four children of different countries.
My dream school would have an Olympic-size swimming pool, two football pitches and a golf course. It would also have a cinema, a gym, a restaurant and a shopping centre. My school has none of these and I think there should be more enjoyable things for pupils to do while they are studying.
——Ma, China
I’d like a room where we can go and relax and play computer games and chat with friends. Some older pupils in the school have this but I think there should be a place for everyone to go when they want to switch off(转换注意力)from the lessons.
——Sonia, Italy
I think it would be great to have a day off every week,as well as the weekend. If that day was a Friday or a Monday, we would have a long weekend every week. What fun!I also think school should start later, at about 10 o’clock, and finish earlier. We spend a lot of time at school doing nothing at all. I’m sure we could learn just as much in fewer hours.
——Richard, USA
My dream school would be big and roomy with a computer for every person in the school. I’d also like to have a music room where we can just go and play instruments when we want. We need a recording studio, too. I hope that teachers can respect(尊重) our opinions.
