My Memory of Going to Primary School

Back in the 70 s, where I lived, there was no preschool education, so before going to primary school, children just played around.

One summer, I was playing around with some other children. My father told me that it was time for me to go to school.

After doing some very simple preparatory work, I went to school with a few older children.

The school was just in the northward back of my village, but there was a small river between them.

We needed to go out of my village through its southern exit first, and then went by the river around my village to the north to go to school.

When we went by the river, we could see lush reeds that grew from the river, and listened to chirping cicadas.

Along the river, there were many paper mulberry trees. Their red fruit was ripe.

A few minutes later, we arrived at school and a teacher found a place for me. My school time started.

Summer, lush plants around the river, cicada chirping, older pupils, a simple and crude campus. Those are all the things I can still remember about my first time going to school.

The original is correct, but it reads clearer this way.

The school was just in the *northward back* of my village, but there was a small river between them.

I'm not sure what you mean here - is it another neighbourhood/area of your village or a different village across the river

The school was just in the *northward back* of my village, but there was a small river between them.

The school is at the back of the village and the village is to the south of the school. I want to say this in a single sentence, but I am afraid that I am wrong.

Would flow better to combine this sentence with the following one.

Mmy father told me that it was time for me to go to school.

Combine with previous sentence.

The school was just in the northward back ofnorth behind my village, but there was a small river in between them.

We needed to go out ofleave my village through itsthe southern exit first, and then went bygo around the river around my village totowards the north to get to tohe school.

Not positive this is exactly what you wanted to say.

When we went bynear the river, we could see the lush reeds that grew from the river, and listened toand hear the chirping cicadas.

Their red fruit was red when ripe.

The original is grammatically correct, but kind of breaks the flow.

A few minutes later, we would arrived at school and a teacher fwound a place for meld find me a seat.

To me, "found a place for me" sounds more like, there was no room for you at the school, but the teacher found a place for you, so I changed it.

My school time startedThus, my time at school began.

Summer, lush plants around the river, cicadas chirping, older pupils, and a simple and, crude campus.
