Learn English with this school spirit English lesson

We had not a neither school spirit nor varsity nor cheerleaders. I think this is only in other countries, like in the USA.

I did not like my school. The atmosphere was not so good. There was not fine relationship between classmates so the atmosphere was cold.

I think all people talk about the past. Just one talks much. the other talks less.

high school reunion is a good idea if you had a friends at school and good relationship with them.

I would not like to know about my classmates anything. Although I had a lot of friends but in spite of I would not go to the school reunion! no way!

I believe that reunions are really good idea for only those people, who was succeed in high school and had many friends. They can remember great moments together, remember old jokes or difficulties. It’s a good pastime! 

Oh I reckon such kind of reunion is a great idea. it is gonna give you a chance to be able to see your friends again. I wouldn’t say ” no” at all If I had an opportunity like that right now. Imagine how amazing it would be to meet up with your high school friends again, some of whom possibly got married or climbed up the career ledders gradually or both…who knows? oh anyway, it goes without saying that the idea of reunion is definitely number-one!!!

I used to have school spirit back then during those uniform days but not now. The thing is I completed my tudies (Btech) when I was 26 years and at that time I couldn’t handle going to a class everyday, i wanted to go to an office instead.
Yes. I have a friend of mine who was also a classmate. He like talking about school days, the fun, experiences, and challenges we had that made us think we won’t make it but we did.
I think high school reunion is a good idea – because one would be able to see how old classmates have progressed in life, how education changed their lifes and the young ones will be able to get motivation from that to keep on hitting the pad.

I think that school reunions are a good idea. I still remember my time at primary school. At the moment I am going to grammar school, so I left primary school about 6 years ago. I had some friends at primary school, but after I left the school, I’ve never seen them. I would like to know how their lives continued. It’s so strange . For four years I meet them five times a week and now I never meet them. This is why I think that school reunions are a good idea. Of course there are many ways to stay in contact today. You can phone your friends, write letters or e-mails or contact each other on facebook. But all this is different from meeting a person. However, reunions shouldn’t be to often, because when you already know about the lives of your friends, some people start to tell the same old stories at every reunion and then it might be boring.

At my school we don’t have cheerleaders. I think this is only in other countries, like in the USA. And we also don’t have so much school spirit. We go to school, to be taught, to meet friends, but many of us are quite happy when the lessons are over. I think the people in the USA have much more pride than the Germans. I once took part in an exchange programme and went to an american High school for some days. There I noticed that Americans are very proud of their country. In every classroom there were flags and also at the home of my exchange partner. In Germany we have neither flags at home nor at school. We aren’t so proud of our country and also not of our schools. I think it is okay to be proud of your country, but it shouldn’t be to much. In my opinion it is not good if a people thinks they are the best one.

I did not like my high school. The atmosphere was not so good. There was not fine relationship between classmates so the atmosphere was cold and strained.

My high school wasn’t that big to have a sophisticated cheerleading or school spirit or whatever, but we did have some kind of cheering where students would sit in the bench and root for the teams, there weren’t many yes, but there was still a great setting and experience to live. 

Just wanted to point also that the feeling of belonging is one of the greatest needs of the human being, and the school spirit definitely pertains to that. So, Marni should just spare us the complaints. 

We have had a couple of high school reunions in my high school.  It seems there are core people who are always active to organize the reunion and eager to invite everyone to attend.  I consider them people with high school spirit.  I unfortunately could not go either of the two occasions.  I wanted to go because I wanted to see my old friends, not because of my need to rekindle the school spirit.  I don’t think I have specific pride in my school, nor do I particularly miss my school days.   Probably current status matters, such as job and private life, as much as how happy they were during the school to people’s decision as to whether to attend school reunions or not. 

In Yemen , we don’t have all that activates that other countries have ,I mean in school, all what we have here is to sit in our places for 5 hours daily listening to our teachers and that’s it . here is no reunion , no happy memories , all what we remember about school here is the sticks of our teachers. I say “oh the stick of the mathematics teacher was made of Copper , wow it was a amazing charming stick ” and than i tell my high school’s friend ” wow I LOVED THAT STICK you know ” I loved that stick cuz you know I really want to remember something about my school days and when you need to remember something you have to love it SO I loved that stick cuz there was nothing to love about schools here…....

I don´t think that  people should forget about the past, also i believe that we should not live in the past . What if Amanda  is  thrilled  that she has to attend a school reunion ,should Marni  throw   a bucket of cold water  on her enthusiasm  because of this.? I don´t think so. What will see and hear in a school reunion :school`s sweethearts, old  stories , pranks that they did at each other , how they have  continue with their lifes after graduation: careers, marriages, kids,a lot to talk about. I know of people that only talk about the past , some stories are  interesting  ,funny ,etc, but when you have to hear the same  story  in each  family reunion  it lets you  think how can i get out of here  and go somewhere else …..  

we don’t have like this here! before the race no one dance! i know in U.S when football want start some girls come and dance and after that game start! in many sports, in some countries it’s a rule, maybe,i think it is! but in Iran NO!

NEVER DANCE!

I think I have the school spirit but it’s only for primary school. I have the better time and more fun when I was in primary school than in junior high. And that’s why I only talk about primary school things. I think people prefer talking about good experience and memory to bad one.
