My head teacher, together with all the classmates, plays basketball after class every day. How wonderful my school life is!
However, the terrible earthquake destroyed all. The teaching building and our dorm buildings were in ruins. The beautiful campus was buried under bricks.
Fortunately, there are a lot of people helping us. A new tent school has been built completely. I, as well as my classmates, am studying in it now. We all determine to study hard. Neither the earthquake nor the difficulty can defeat us. Both teachers and students in Beichuan High School will devote much to rebuilding our school.
