Answer B:
I study at a small college in my hometown. My town in the province is small, so there are only a
few students in my school. However, my school is not deficient in providing quality education. It
has a few old buildings and facilities, but they are adequate to the small community of students.
I believe that the students here are nurtured to be the best in their chosen fields. My school also
bests others in sports. We join interschool athletic meets annually. Last year, my school became
champion in the swimming division. Though my school is small, I am still proud of it.

After introducing the name of your school, tell its specialization. Then tell other unique details
about it.

- telling where it is located
- mentioning some courses it offers
[example: The undergraduate college offers only Elementary Education.]
- sharing a little why you chose that school
[example: I entered here because I want to be a competent teacher someday.]
