High school Days - English Writing


Topic: High school days

Topic sentence: ­­­­_____________________________________  Write the topic sentence later.


Here are my answers for Q 1- 3

The questions
Q1.  How did you get to school everyday? 2. Where was your school?  3. Was your school co-educational?


When I was a HS student I walked about 20 minutes to school everyday.  Some students rode bicycles.  In my final year I drove my car as I got my driver’s license at age 17. When I walked on rainy days my school uniform got wet because nobody carried umbrellas.   It wasn’t cool to use an umbrella.  I lived in Richmond, a historic town of about 10, 000 people, 50 km west of Sydney in the foothills of the Blue Mountains.  The air was clean and the environment very good.  There were several large rivers.  There were many outdoor activities to do. About 1,300 students attended our school, which was co-ed.  There were 70 teachers.  In general I liked my school because we had a canoe club but it was a little rough, especially at lunchtime.  Sometimes there were fights between the male students.  After school I sometimes went to the swimming pool, rode my bicycle, or worked at a gasoline stand.  Other times I met with friends and we would just hangout.  I had a girlfriend who lived a little far from school.  We met on weekends.  Sometimes we went horse riding and sometimes on Friday night we went to the disco.  On weekends, when I wasn’t working, I sometimes went fishing or hiking in the mountains with friends or my father.  When I was 17 I bought an off-road motorcycle and rode on dirt tracks along the river.
