    John James Audubon loved all kinds of birds. He spent his life studying them. He painted all the birds of North America.

    John James Audubon was born in Haiti in 1785. When he was a young boy, he moved to France with his family. His father was in the French Navy. He had a farm in the United States. When John was 18, his father sent him to the farm, hoping John would take care of it. But John didn't want to do that. He wanted to hunt, fish, and draw birds. John drew lots of pictures of birds. He wanted to make them look real.

    In 1808, John married Lucy Bakewell and they moved to Kentucky. John and a friend went into business there. They ran a shop. John really didn't like working in the shop. The business soon failed. John wanted to paint full-time. Lucy agreed to help. She got a teaching job to support the family. By that time, they had two young sons.

    John wanted his bird paintings made into a book. He finally did find someone to print his bird pictures in a book. Many people wanted John Audubon's book. Although his book was a great success, John wasn't happy with it. He wanted to show every bird found in North America. By 1838, John finished a great work. It wasn't just one book. It was an amazing set of four books called The Birds of America. It had many paintings. Today, these paintings are very famous.

With the development of high technology(高科技), education is changing. The classroom of the future will surely not be the same as the classroom of today. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}So what will the future classroom be like? Let's try to find it out.

To start with, facing the blackboard will be a thing of the past. Students will take    classes by using their touch-screen desks. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}And doing homework, taking down notes, and having exams will be just a click away(点击鼠标即可).教室的墙壁也将会和高科技有关。{#blank#}3{#/blank#} The teachers and students can get any information they want on the walls.

In the coming years, another technology called metaverse(元宇亩) will make learning more exciting. Metaverse is a 3D virtual(虚拟的) world where people can meet, play, and work with others. In the metaverse, people can do things like going to the mall or buying virtual clothing. The only difference is that they will do all these in a virtual environment. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Teachers and students can get into a virtual classroom, but they may sit on the sofa at home real life. The experience will be like being in an actual classroom.

Besides, the classroom of the future has many learning styles for students. They can learn things in the way they want.老师们确信这种教室将会使学生学得更好。{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
