I continually hear adults saying they have so much to do and so much to think of and how they wish they could go back to school life. 'Schooldays are the best days of your life," they remind us. I think that depends very much on the school. The better the school, the more likely we are to enjoy it. So what is my ideal school?
First and foremost, a pleasant and quiet environment is needed in a school. Experts report that a quiet environment can help people to concentrate on their work. A pleasant environment can make people happier and contented. So we can see that in a peaceful environment, schoolwork is greatly improved and our school life is much happier. In Hong Kong, students are disturbed in many cases by noise, by aircraft, by construction and by pollution. All aspects of school life are affected by this----- performance in exams, health or even relationships are affected because of stress and irritability. A school is a place for learning and thinking. It must have a quiet, pleasant atmosphere.
When the ideal environment is created regular meetings between student representatives and teachers are next in importance. When there is good contact between teachers and students, we can work happily and peacefully so that school life becomes more lighthearted and harmonious.
Students, apart from academic work, also need some extra-curricular activities so that life will become more colorful and meaningful. Therefore I think an ideal school must have a good balance between academic learning and sports and activities. Through this we can learn to adapt to our friends with team spirit and develop our creative sides. It will also help us to train to be a versatile person. This is important for society and very important for us to relax.
Is this ideal school possible? From my point
of view, I think the pleasant and quiet environment is nearly impossible
to be found in Hong Kong. However, student representation and a lot of
after-school clubs are possible goals and can be achieved through our efforts
to try to makes an ideal school!
