TEXT 

Our classroom is big, bright, and comfortable. There is one teacher and ten students in our class. Our teacher’s name is Ms. Green. She is kind, patient, and always ready to help. There is a big smile on her face every morning.

There are twelve desks and twelve chairs in the room. Two students share one desk. There is a large whiteboard at the front of the classroom. Ms. Green writes our lessons on it every day. There are some colorful posters next to the board. The posters show numbers, colors, and English words.

There is a clock above the board, so we always know the time. There are two windows on the right wall. They make the classroom bright with natural light. When the sun shines, it feels warm and happy.

At the back of the room, there is a bookshelf. There are many books and magazines on it. There is also a small table with a computer near the window. Sometimes we use it to play English games or listen to songs.

There are notebooks, pencils, and erasers on every desk. There is a bag beside each chair. There are even some plants on the windowsill. They make the room look fresh and green.

Our classroom is clean, colorful, and full of energy. We like it very much because it’s not just a place to study—it’s a place where we learn, laugh, and spend time together.
