Hi everybody. Today, I want to tell you about my school. My name is Hoang Xuan Han. Although this year I was in 7th grade but this school has reminded me of my childhood memories. The school is covered in a golden yellow color when the sun shines on it like a sparkling gold bar. The school consists of 20 classes and more than 750 students. What a great number, is not it? I think so too. Especially in the school there is a banyan tree hundreds of years old. Our pupils always considered it a symbol of the school. In the past year, my school has won six national prizes, 32 provincial prizes and 216 district prizes. I am very proud to study under this roof, and I want it to be later to be the place to hold my best memories. Thank you for listening
