David: Before the holiday, people prepare the Guys. The Guy is
a model of a person that people make out of old clothes,
paper or straw. The Guys are usually very big, sometimes
about nine meters high. Children can make their Guys too.
They aren't so big, but they are really nice and funny. They
take their homemade guys out on the street and ask for
"a penny for the Guy" for fireworks. Some people wear special

This year there are again 2 new pupils in our class. They are shy first days in a new school. But soon they'll make new friends in our class and you won't
tell them from other students. This year we are going to wear a school uniform, but five years ago we didn't wear a uniform. New friends - it's ok, but I was happy to meet old friends even more. Five years ago I decided to learn well and get good marks in all subjects. I worked hard and I did well all five years.
Our teachers say those who listen attentively at the lesson and work hard at home can achieve even more than they expect themselves. You should only have a strong will. I'm going to study well this year too. I like to work at the lesson and then to talk with my friends during the breaks. This year we've got some new lessons. Tomorrow we'll get a new timetable. I'm going to take pictures of my friends and give flowers to the teacher.
I've got a lovely new school bag. Tomorrow I'll take it to school for the first time. I'll have lunch with new friends at school and have fun during the break. I like school and I like the 1st of September.
