Writing about "Good School"

In Takeo province, there are many schools, but ESP Education School is well- kwon one. It was built in 1990 and it locates in Dounkeo town. My school has good reputation because of well- effective management, good performance of exams in nation, and good environment.

            For well- effective management in my school, it focuses on good work hierarchy. All top and middle workers always respect hierarchy and obey the school discipline. Moreover, they are usually on time and good looking. In addition, all teachers have lesson plans and use student- center methods during teaching. For good performance, all students always challenge in what they learnt. Both teachers and students are dynamic, creative and hard working in order to improve their knowledge. All teachers sometimes research all lessons and prepare teaching tools before teaching. All students have suitable uniform and have good moral in communication both in class and in society. All students are always ready for doing homework regularly and correctly. Furthermore, all teachers advise and encourage them to learn by heart, practice exercises, and read books whenever they have free time. Moreover, teachers always motivate students to be good. When all their students face difficult doubts, they always explain what they are. Last academic year, all students passed exam. For good environment, my school is always cleaned. Every morning, all students sweep their classrooms and plant the trees and flowers. Every month, all students fertilize for trees and flowers in the garden and dust the all windows in their classes. Moreover, they always make their classroom tidy. They clean up all their tables and chairs and keep them in order. Before classes, they always respect for the national anthem regularly. Additionally, all the sellers have to collect their rubbish and keep clean. Moreover, their food are hygiene and comfortable.

            In conclusion, my school is very good to learn and teach because of effective management, good teaching and learning and good result of exam. Being good students, we should work hard to study, keep environment clean and respect the school rules. Moreover, we should help to do housework and we do not use drugs.

Ex: I was driving to work when I crashed my car.
      I watched a movie while I was flying to Dubai.
-To describe repetition and irritation.
He was always complaining in class.

For stative verbs that do not use the progressive aspect, the simple past is used instead.
