The primary school I received first year education

The primary school where I started my education is quite small, and in poor condition. The shool was located in small country village. And the shool is circled by clay walls, there is no money for brick wall.The doors and window of the classroom is badly broken. There was no glass on the window lattices. Inside the classroom, the blackboard is made by cement on the wall and then black-painted. Student either sit by broken tables or so-called stone ones. The bell was made from a small secton of rail suspended on the tree. The bell keeper just hammared at it to make it ring. Everything seemed to be so simple and crude.

I had remembered there is about 100 students and 7 teachers in the school. Most of the students lived nearby the school. They could get to the school in just a few minutes and they could go back home for lunch at noon.

Every 9:00 in the morning, when I had heard the bell rang, I ran to school for classs. The words of the teacher are local accent. The strangers can hardly catch them. But they were all resposible for their students. We had to recite the obscurity poems by ancient Chinese poet. Sometimes the angry teacher could slash at the hands of the lazy students who did not finish their homework. It was a kind of severe punishment.

I receiver my first 1 and half year in that school,then I shifted to a city school near my parents, where the circumstance was quite different. Everything is new and everything is well equiped.
