First of all I'd like to tell you about my school which I've already left. My school is one of the specialized schools in Volgograd. It is famous for its high-quality education and strict discipline. To my mind, our school-gymnasium is very well equipped. It has a gym, a canteen, a library, a computer class and some labs( for example - chemistry lab or physics lab). First two years in our school we had 7 or 8 lessons, but in 10th and 11th forms we had less lessons. What about our homework we usually had a lot to do and it took me several hours. I sometimes had to sit up to write a composition, to prepare a report, to translate an article from English to Russian or to learn a poem by heart. After classes we usually had some out-of-class activities. Our social and cultural life was well-organized. For example, we had a choir and literature club.

It is famous for its high quality education and strict discipline. In my opinion, our school gymnasium is very well equipped. It has a gym, a canteen, a library, a computer class and some labs. For example, it had a chemistry and physics lab. In the first two grades of our school, we had seven or eight courses, but in the tenth and eleventh grades, we had fewer courses. lessons.  As for our homework, we usually had much to do, and it took me several hours. I sometimes had to sit up late at night to write a composition, to prepare a report, to translate an article from English to Russian, or to learn a poem by heart. After classes, we usually had some extra-curricular activities. Our social and cultural life was well-organized. For example, we had a choir and literature club.

    Nicely written!

    Since you are writing about your school in the past, you should keep all verbs in the past tense.

    Use "fewer" when you can count the objects, use less when you cannot count.

    There is less sand on the beach now.

    There are fewer children at the park.
