IN CLASS

In this picture I can see a class. The sun is shining. It’s two minutes to ten. It is October.
There is a teacher. She wears a purple jacket and a white t-shirt. She wears glasses, too. She is sitting and writing on a paper and the students are reading, but a boy is writing on the blackboard. He is wearing blue jeans and a blue sweater. And a girl is playing with a video game console. She is wearing a pink skirt with a green sweater. The children are studying with the door closed. In the classroom there is a map of Europe and a picture of an old man’s face. There is a big and green plant next to de door and under the calendar.
