Basic+Classroom

Hi! I am a senior in The Northwest School. I am from Taiwan. I have been here for three years. I have taken a lot of interesting classes. I will just give you some examples of some of the classes I have taken.
 * Classes in the Northwest school**


 * English class:** I think this is the most important class, because I am learning how to use correct English grammar, how to write an essay in English, and how to give a presentation in English. My English teacher is Julian. She is a very nice teacher. She helps me a lot on my English essays. Every time when I have question about my essay, she will explain to me and help to make the essay better. Now, I am very happy about how amazing it is that I can write an essay pretty well in English. I mean, English is my second language, and I have to use it to write an essay, which is very hard even in my first language, Chinese. It’s fun and easy to learn English in The Northwest School.


 * Physics class:** Physics class is one of the fun classes. Physics class in The Northwest School is really different from school in my old school in Taiwan. We can do a lot of experiments. For example, we built our own water rockets. We used empty coke bottles and some plastic fans to build a water rocket, which could fly very high. We don’t only learn things from books, but also from experience. That’s why I love physics class so much.


 * Art class:** There are lots of different art classes in The Northwest School. I have taken a lot of different art classes, such as world dance, social dance, Mime, and Photography. In world dance, I learned African dance and different countries’ dances. In Mime, I learned how to create anywhere, any time I want. For example, I can creat a wall in the air, or lean on nothing. I also got a lot of chances to perform mime to people. In photography, I got to know how to develop film and how to print pictures by chemicals. In each of these art classes I need different skills, I learned a lot of different skills in the art classes. However, the most important thing is that I have fun in art classes. There are not a lot of art classes in Taiwan where I come from. I only learned how to draw a picture of myself. Sometimes, we didn’t even have art class, because we had tests. The art class would be taken away so that students could study. I encourage students in Taiwan, don’t only study because you have to, but also try to have fun in the school. That’s the most important thing in the school.
