IELTS Speaking Part 2: describe a school

Here's a recent question that a few students told me about:

Describe a school that you went to when you were a child. You should say

- where the school was
- when you went there
- what the school and the teachers were like
- and explain whether you enjoyed your time there.

Tip: try telling a story for the last point e.g. talk about a particularly enjoyable event that you remember.

My school is in the vicinity of my house. It is one of the big school in that area which is named one of the school's student. I went there when I was 6 years old, because it is not allowed to start school before than 6. The atmosphre at school was very reliable, we had our own scool sport teams at football and volleyball, also we had our labs, library, medical room, gym. Teacher stuff was very close with students, so we all respected our teachers. My school times are the most memorable times im my life, beacuse I enjoyed my every minute there. I had very good friends and teachers that I still keep in touch with them. I also belonged to our school's volleyball team, so we frequently were busy at gym and attended some competitons. Even in my last year we won "the best team among schools in 2010" award.

I'm going to describe my primary school which is very near my house. It take me about 10 minutes from my home to school and it also next to my high school.
In Vietnam, we go to primary school at 6 years old and it is the same to me.
In summer, I could collect a lot of phoenix flowers and push in my note books, and then I gave it to my best friend like a gift. My memory about teachers in that school is unclear now but I still remember my third grade teacher. The reason is she usually wore Ao Dai with a modern collar which could show her neck and a little of her shoulder. And she is the only person who gave me a seat on special class for outstanding student.
One of important things I love my childhood at that school because I met my ex-best friend from there, we played, we learned, we laughed, we ate together. Besides that, my school used to be a hospital in war, so that we talked about a lot of ghost stories, dared each other and our classmates to go to girl toilet at twilight.
I can conclude that I love my school because all my special memories was there.

[Ashik]

HI EVERYBODY AND EXCLUSIVELY MY DEAREST TEACHER Simon!
The story which is going to be explained by me right now is the school that I participated .
Well,I went to Saddiqi school for 12 years which it took me merely 5 minutes from our home .
It is located in Charikar city Afghanistan.like most countries, students start school when they get seven year and I did so too.
My school is such a small city, and it has everything inside.for instance,gym,swimming pool,football field and so on.I love my teachers and classmates because definitely they were so benign.I got many friends in school and we are in touch even now.The teachers were also very intelligent as well as they thought me how to learn and how to handle with problems.meanwhile, one of my teachers always told me be positive and open-minded.It might assist you through being an excellent student that certainly helped me too much in my life.As a last point,I love my school and the people who were communicating and around me there.

[Saalim]

Who were communicating ,and they were around me there.

I apologize for the mistake in the last sentence guys.

Sir why there is no chance for us to edit our posts???

If there is how???
please answer!!!

[ziaul huda]

I am going to talk about my school where I went for my primary education. It was named as S.R primary state school. The school was located right next to Indra Gandhi memorial art gallery. It was only 1o minutes drive from my house.
I went there to study in the 4th grde when i was around 9 years old for my further study. I coul not complete my primary education in Kanpur city, because my father's company transferred him to New Delhi office. After arriving in New Delhi, I joined S.R primary state school to complete my further primary education.
The school was composed of 3 stories, and a basement. On the ground floor, office of the head master and administrative block were situated. On the second and third floor all the class rooms and staff rooms were there. Finally, in the basement, there was recreation cetre for both students and staff. Teachers and non teaching staff were very polite and helpful to all of us. Sometimes, teachers were taking extra classes after school timng and even on the weekends. I remember I missed one class due to illness. One of the concerned teacher delivered me an extra lecture at his home in order to complete the portion of the subject , which I could't attand.
All in all, I really had a fantastic time during my primary schooling to have a lot of fun and excitement.

[Ha huong]

Well, i woud like to tell you about my primary school. That is a large school in my village, a countryside area in Thai Binh province. It is located near the riverside flowing through our village. You know, in Vietnam, all children are permitted to go to school at 6 years old and I was not exceptional child.
When i was at that school, i had many close friends and really good teachers who i still keep contact with up to now. Even some of them still are my best frinds at the moment. All of us usually meet together whenever we have opputunity. The reason why i have unforgetable memories at my primary school is that we used to play a lot of traditional games on the play ground during playtime after hard lectures, for example playing cards, skipping and some other games i don,t know what are in Enghlish. Almost of them no longer exist today. That is all.

[lan vy]

well,I'd like to use 2 mins to tell you about my high school, PCT public school. that is the biggest and greatest school in my hometown, so i was very pround of experiencing my 4 yeas in PCT school. I suppose that 4 years was my most beautiful school time because i met my close friends and have many wonderful memories with my classmates and my teachers. But the reason makes me still remember my high school is my head teacher, who not only taught me knowledge but also taught me how to be a good guy. she always helped me solve my problems. that's all

[Ayman elshiekh]

I'll take about my primary school. It was named almoshtarka primary school.it was newly moved from other place, so it was small ,new one one floor only with one class to each grade from grade 1to grade 6 .
It was wonderful school to me. The teachers were wonderful ,lovely teacher and I love most of them except the Arabic teacher because he was hit us on our hands if we did mistake so I was terrified when he arrived . The most lovely teacher to me was Ms sohir.she was always smiling and encouraging to me always gives me prizes.even her 2 younger children were playing with me in spare time.i remembered one time there were a competition between our class and another one from other school.ms sohir was encourage me a lot during the competition till we win. She gave me huge I never forget it till now.

This was the same topic that i got yesterday..
I'm so nervous about my speaking band right now..
i know i didn't do well, especially part 3 ( i think i answer one question wrong that doesn't make any sense because i'm so nervous )
And when i finished part 2 the examiner said "don't you want to tell me more?" Omg, i was dumbstruck and don'y know what to do anymore..
Please tell me it's a good or a bad thing?
What band can i get from my bad speaking test?
at least i need 6.0 to get to my university..

[Desrina Sitompul]

I'm going to talk about my primary school, it's Indonesian Public School. The school was located near my house around 10 minutes walk on foot to get there. I went to School when i was around almost 6 years old for compulsory elementary education. I went there until i finished my primary education.
The teacher and all the staff was kind and welcome, although there were a few teachers that i was afraid of because they really tend to easy get angry. But most of them were very polite and generous. The School building was not quite good, it's old building and the facilities didn't good enough. but what i most like in my school, the environment was very green and the air was so fresh and clean. As far as i remembered, i really have fun with friends in there. i involved in many class activities, discussion, presentation etc. Teachers were encouraged us to active in many school activities. it's kinda unforgettable experienced when i was i child.

[Helal Ahmed]

[Linh]

Well, it’s an interesting topic for me to talk about the school to all of you today. I attended my primary school when I was 7 years old.I was not only the most reputed schools in our town, but also near my house. So my parent selected that school for my further studies.
It was a great time when I were a little girl with these following reasons:
Firstly, the infrastructure of the school was up to date as a national standards at that time. We had modern room and green garden to play around.
Secondly, teacher and non teaching staff were very polite and helpful to all of us. This was a reason I had never played truant like some pupils there.
Finally, I had unforgettable memories that my classmate and I used to play a lot of traditional games in the school yard at breaktime such as skipping, hid and seek, blind man’s bluff and others I don’t know how to call in English. It was really relaxing and gave me closefriend that we are still keep in touch at the moment.
All in all, I really had a fantastic time. I had enjoyed my life in primary school age. This was the particular part of my life which I consider to be the most precious one with a lot of excitement

[Vyyy]

I will talk about my primary school. The school's name is Huynh Van Chinh. It is near my house, it took me 10 minutes to go to school. Thinking about time at school, I do not feel happy at all. When I was 6, just a little girl, I feel scared and shy to the new environment with a lot of people. I also do not enjoy time at school because I have to learn some subjects that I do not like. I was under pressure as a student. However, I also have some good memory about school. That's about friends, I meet and play with my friends, we have our common favorites and we share what we think about each other. A school is a place I met my best friend so I truly appreciate time at school with my friends.
