Pues mi asignatura favorita es el español porque las clases son divertidas y la profesora es muy simpática y me ayuda muchísimo. También me gusta la geografía porque me interesa aprender cosas sobre otros países del mundo. No me gustan las matemáticas porque las encuentro muy difíciles y el profesor no explica bien. Creo que voy a sacar malas notas en matemáticas.

Well, my favourite subject is Spanish because the lessons are fun and the teacher is very nice and helps me a lot.

La mayoría de los profesores son buenos y tratan de ayudar a los estudiantes. Hay algunos que son un poco estrictos, pero a veces es necesario porque algunos alumnos no se comportan bien. No me gusta la profesora de educación física porque no es muy justa y grita mucho.
Translation:
The majority of the teachers are good and try to help the students. There are some who are a bit strict but at times it's necessary because some pupils don't behave well. I don't like the PE teacher because she's not very fair and she shouts a lot.
