the Present Perfect with specific time expressions

With Non-Continuous Verbs and non-continuous

uses of Mixed Verbs, we use the Present Perfect to

continued up until now. "For five minutes,"

"for two weeks," and "since Tuesday" are all

durations which can be used with the Present

Perfect.

School life started when I joined the school in June 1990.

For me, the school meant play, play, and more play.

Instead of sitting in the classroom and learning something,

I used to roam around the garden doing a gardener's job.

Two years passed and I was in U.K.G. when we shifted to

a new school that was an old building with a big

playground. In class I was scared of one of my subject

teachers because she used to beat us very often.

I was so scared and didn't want to go to school anymore.

The first day I went to school was “D” day for me

All these years of my school life, I have made many friends

and they have helped me a lot in my academics. Many a

time I used to fight with my friends. But, then I think that

everything is fair in friendship. In my school life I am gifted

with excellent class teachers and subject teachers.

They always help me to cope with my notes whenever

I was absent or fell ill. When I was in class six, I was very

good in my academics as well as in extracurricular

activities. Then I put my feet on the 7th step of learning.

The first day I went to school was “D” day for me

Growing and learning had been a great fun. Every year

we were taken to different places on our school picnics.

I was never able to go on to these excursion tours but

I enjoyed every word of the stories told by my friends.

When I was in class eight I won a couple of prizes in

drawing and in interschool competitions. We were also

given many projects as class assignments that helped all

of us to know more about the subject. I was very fond of

cricket (now in football). My friends and I played cricket in

the school campus after the school got over. At the same

time we all used to get lots of scolding from our principal.

The first day I went to school was “D” day for me

As I reached class nine I realized that I should concentrate on

my studies as the next year I was going to write my Board

exams. The most memorable day in my life was the day when

we bid farewell to our seniors on Feb. 16, 2002. Well, now I am

in class ten and all set to write my Boards in March 2003.

Whenever I recollect all these incidents of school life. I feel very

happy and I think in everybody's school life there are many ups

and downs that mould one's life. School is a place where all of

us learn to care and share. "School" is just not a place, but it is a

large dome made up of discipline, knowledge, love and affection.

I think in everybody's success, school plays a key role. I can

describe my school in "Three S's, they are: Small, Sweet and

Simple. My school was the best, is the best and will be the best.
