Answer
I went to lower secondary school when I was 11 years old, and I had spent 4 years from grade 6 to 9 at Trung Hieu Lower Secondary School. The school was opposite my house, so was very convenient for me to walk to school. I like learning here a lot because here I was taught a great deal of valueable things about not only subjects and knowledge but also necessary skills and experience which are really useful for me now. The only thing I didn’t like here was the facilities, at that time everything was not modern and convenient. Every time we had pratical subjects, we just learned theory at classroom and skipped experiments. Whatever the disadvantage, I still loved the school because all of the teachers were very devoted to giving us the best lessons and helping us acknowledge the lessons as much as they could in spite of lacking of facilities.
