Ladies and gentlemen,

Welcome to our New Century Net-school!

Our net-school is made up of four parts. A Multimedia Teaching System makes teaching and learning earsier, and much more interesting. Students can get more information and knowledge in class. The Information Centre, where we can send e-mails to all parts of the world and get the latest information from the Internet, is open to both teachers and students. The Long-distance Teaching System is for the students who are not studying in our school. They can study at home if they have a computer. The School Management System helpes to improve our school management and meets the needs of this modern school.

Great Changes in My Hometown

I used to live in a small town with trees all around. There was no tall building and the only street was narrow. Just outside the town, there was a river. You can see different kinds of fish swimming in the clear water. People here lived a simple life.

Great changes have taken place here. You can see tall buildings, big department stores and factories everywhere. Different kinds of cars and buses are running in the big streets. But with the development of the industry, we have fewer trees. Air and water pollution is becoming more and more serious. We must do something to stop pollution and make our town even more beautiful.

Mrs Brown is an excellent physics teacher of our school. She is a good-looking woman, with gentle manners and a kind smile.

Mrs Brown likes her work very much. She works hard and makes every class perfect. Listening to her talk is an artistic treat indeed. She treats her students as her own children, not only strictly but also kindly. She always shows deep concern for them and makes great efforts to train them into persons of ability. All the students respect her very much.
