THINK! What do you like about your school?

(Nghĩ xem! Em thích gì về trường học của em?)

1. Read the project. Where are the schools? Is the writer positive or negative about them?

(Đọc dự án. Những trường học này ở đâu? Tác giả có thái độ tích cực hay tiêu cực về các trường học này?)

WORLD CLASS!

A project by Liam Murphy

This is a geography class in Bangladesh. It isn't a traditional primary school - these students are studying on a 'boat school'. It's a great idea because transport can be a big problem here when there's a lot of rain. The boat isn't moving at the moment, but at the start and the end of the day, it goes along the river to the students' villages.

Eton College is one of Britain's oldest and most expensive private schools and it looks like the students are wearing Britain's oldest, most expensive uniforms! Not very practical! They're walking to a lesson. This is a boarding school - students study, eat and sleep here.

Look! What is the teacher doing? She is teaching English, but she is not at her school. Her students are staying at home and learning lessons on television. In Hồ Chí Minh City, Việt Nam, students can have such lessons on the channel of HTV Key. It is another learning way for them - digital learning.

This is my secondary school in Ireland. We're having a dance class and it's a lot of fun. There are a lot of traditional dances in Ireland. I'm not dancing - I'm watching the dancers. Our teachers are playing the musical instruments.
