Are you currently attending an English school? Have you attended one in the past? Think about what you liked and what you didn't like. What would you do differently if you owned the school? What would your English school look like if you had all of the money in the world? How would it operate? This school could open in the future, when technology and travel were even more advanced than they are today. Here are some things to think about:The teachersThe lessonsThe locationThe curriculumThe hoursThe extra curricular activitiesThe subject matterThe technologyThe class sizeThe class lengthThe foodThe rulesThe class demographicsThe feeThe appearanceYour task:1. Create a post on your own MyEC blog called "Writing Challenge #12: My Dream English School" (Thank you to last month's participants for starting this submission trend! It was a great idea to have the stories on your blogs instead of in the comments.). At the end of your post write this question for readers: "Would you go to my school? Why or why not?"2. Come back to this page and provide a link to your dream school post in the comment section. (Click on the icon that looks like a chain. Insert the url from your own blog post. Let me know if you have any problems.)3. Visit other "Dream School" posts by members and answer their question: Would you go to their school? Why or why not?My Example:My dream English school would be located in New Mexico. I have never been to New Mexico, but I hear it is an inspiring place for writers. There would be fresh coffee beans in each classroom (and a place to store chocolate). The teachers would be allowed to wear jeans to school. Each class would have a maximum of six students and we would all sit on bean bag chairs near a big window. Much of the classroom work would take place outside of the classroom, in local art galleries, cafes, and parks. School would start around ten in the morning and end around two. Students would take turns bringing in food from their native countries to share for lunch and snack time. Yum! We wouldn't use many textbooks, but we would do lots of reading, writing, and sharing together. Once a week we would Skype with another English class from a different part of the world.Would you come to my school? Why or why not?--Note: I will *Feature the most popular "My Dream School" post on MyEC at the end of the challenge. Write your hearts out!

1_ the location:I will build it in a large area in a quiet place full of flowers its name hppey learn

4_the curriculum divided in levels
in my school we start in theore...ty side it take ahout a one and half month we read stories in diversificated subjects `make practis `we have videos ` language lab for good practis.
invite guestes weekly`only six student in the class .
the other four monthes we have application side ` we built samples of most importent places in the live shopes `hospital` travel agency` air plane office restaurant `police office`and learner house where they apply famliy live.
Would you come to my school? Why or why not?
The first version of your first sentence used the wrong "witch". (which) In your corrected version you need "a" before quiet. (such a quiet place) . You fixed the parallel construction problem too (making them all "ing"). You could also change them to "study, focus, and relax".
Correction: Such a quiet place, which of course is far from the city, would help students study, focus, and relax.
The second sentence is almost correct. You fixed the preposition correctly (at), but you don't need "be + past participle" (be ended).
Correction: "start at 9:00 am and end at 1:00 pm".
Thanks for taking my second challenge, Tala!
thanks a lot for your nice writing challenges...
here is my blog Get on the bus
i will be glad if you put your precious time to visit my blog....
have a great time:)
Tala: I would love to come to your school. The lunch sounds delightful! Here is a second challenge for you. Can you spot a few errors in these sentences? Try to fix them.:
"so this quiet place witch of course far from the city would help students to study, focusing and relax."
"The studying would begin in the 9:am and end in 1:pm."
