I’m Lily. I’m \(12\), and I study at London Freemen's School. It’s a boarding school, which means that I live together with my classmates. The best thing about it is that we spend so much time together and we are really good friends now. Another good thing is that I don’t have to get up too early. It’s almost impossible to be late when you live at school.

My school day starts at \(7\):\(45\). All the students of my school wear uniforms. I like it because it looks great. We have breakfast in our canteen at \(8\) o’clock. Our first lesson starts at \(8\):\(30\) and we usually study till \(2\) o’clock. I enjoy studying, because I learn a lot of new things. I especially like doing experiments in our science lab. These lessons are so exciting! 

Our school also has a large territory with a nice playground and several sports fields. We often play outside during the break. After lessons we have free time when we can do things we enjoy. I usually have art classes or go to the school library and borrow some interesting books.

In the evening I do homework together with my friends in our boarding house. We revise for tests and check each other’s homework. Sometimes I spend the weekend at school too, but usually I go home to see my parents. I never miss classes and I am always happy to get back to school.
