My school life
My name is Susie Thompson, and I’m fifteen. I’ve been at River School, London, since I was eleven. If I pass my exams next year, I’ll stay here until I’m eighteen.
River School is a secondary school, about twenty minutes away from my
Presentation
home by bike. Before I came here, I went to the primary school near my home. I started primary school when I was five and stayed there for six years.
We go to school every weekday from 8:45 am to 3:15 pm. Before class, our teacher checks which pupils are present or absent. Then everyone goes to the
Presentation
main hall. There, our head teacher tells us news about the school. At 9:05 am the bell rings, and lessons start. Each lesson lasts for an hour. We have a break from 11:05 am until 11:15 am, then another lesson, and then lunch for an hour. In the afternoon, we have two more lessons before school finishes.
Presentation
This year I have ten subjects: maths, English, physics, chemistry, French, history, geography, music, IT and PE. Some people learn German instead of French. It’s lucky we don’t have exams in every subject.
We have a large sports ground for football and tennis, where we can play
Presentation
both during and after school hours. After-school activities, such as sports clubs and language societies, are popular too. During the school year there are usually visits to museums and to camps for activities such as climbing and walking in the country. Last year a
Presentation
group of us even went to Japan. There are parties and a sports day, and school plays are really popular. Once a term, there is a parents’ meeting, so our parents and teachers can talk about our progress.
What do I like best about school? English, chemistry, music, sports clubs, school plays… and above all, my friends!

Language points
如果主句为一般将来时,if 引导的条件状语从句则用一般现在时。这一规律被称为“主将从现”。
e.g. If it rains tomorrow, we won’t go
camping. 如果明天下雨, 我们就不去野营了。
1. If I pass my exams next year, I’ll stay here
until I’m eighteen. 如果明年我通过考试的话, 我会在这里学习到18岁。

注意:延续性动词有时也用否定形式,但意义发生了变化。试比较:
I watched TV until my father came back. 父亲回来之前, 我一直在看电视。
(2) I didn’t watch TV until my father came
back. 直到父亲回来后, 我才看电视。
当until引导的从句与肯定的主句连用时, 主
句的谓语动词须是持续性动词。
