Dear Celia,

Hope you are well. You asked me about my school life.

Well, I go to a single-sex private school in London. My favourite subject is French and my least favourite subject is Geography. I go to school five days a week and my classes start at 8:30 and end at 3.

I have a great school. It’s got a library, a playground and two large playing fields. I have some really good teachers, but the headmaster is very strict. All of my classmates are very nice.

Write back and tell me all about your school.

Bye for now,

Maddie
