Conversation: About School

Jane returns home after her first day in her new school and tells her mother about her school.

Jane: I am back from school, mamma.

Mother: How is the school Jane?

Jane: The school is good mamma.

Mother: How are your classmates?

Jane: My classmates are friendly and helpful.

Mother: And your teachers?

Jane: The teachers are very good. Mrs. Joseph teaches us English and Social Studies. Mrs. Andrews teaches Math’s and Science.

Mother: Is there a good library in school?

Jane: Yes, mom, the library is very good, big and rich. Every week, our class teacher will give us a new book.

Mother: That’s nice. Is there a playground?

Jane: Yes, ma, the playground is huge. There are swings, slides, see-saw and a merry-go-round in one corner. There is a basketball court, volleyball and a badminton court as well. There are many big neem and tamarind trees in the school compound. The students told me that sometimes the teachers take their classes under those trees. Isn’t it wonderful mother?

Mother: I’m happy that you like your school, Jane. Do you have a games period everyday?

Jane: No, mamma, only twice a week. On other days we have dance, drawing and craft classes.

Mother: That’s really interesting.  Jane, you should make the best use of all the opportunities that are provided in your school.

Jane: I will do my best, mamma.

I am daisy. I am eight years old. I live in Delhi, India. I study in St. Paul’s School. I read in class three. My father is a banker and my mother is a teacher. I have an elder brother. He is ten years old. He studies in class fifth. Our house is situated in Preet Vihar. It has four rooms – a drawing-cum-dining room, two bedrooms and a study room. It has a small lawn in front of it and a small kitchen garden at the back. I help my mother in cleaning the house. I also water the plants in the garden. In the kitchen garden we grow seasonal vegetables. It is simply wonderful to see these plants grow. I go to school regularly and do my homework properly. I get good marks in the exams. My teachers and parents are happy with me.

But like all children I also love to play and watch television. I like to watch cartoon serials. Mowgli, Mickie Mouse and Donald Duck are my favourite cartoons. I also love all the Barbie movies. My parents are fond of reading and so we have loads of books at home. Lots of children’s books too. I have read all the fairy tales and Panchatantra tales. My parents say that books can be a person’s best friend.
