Lan went to Tu Thinh lower-secondary school.She had to learn many subjects then. Her favorite subject was Chemistry, however she was the best student in History. She went to school every day and usually had 5 classes, except for Wednesday, when the teachers had meetings, so she was able to leave earlier. During the semester, she had to do many tests: oral tests, fifteen minute tests, forty-five minute tests and one big final examination at the end of the semester. She had a lot of homework, too, and she didn’t have much free time. She worked with her friends because she think group work was good for both of them. She loved her school, loved her teachers, and her friends, except for the uniforms. She think all the students looked quite boring in the uniforms.
