    My name is Sam. I'm a student. Our school is not very big, but very beautiful. Look this is our classroom. It's very new. The wall is white. The computer is yellow. There are forty-six students in my class, 19 girls and 27 boys. Our school has two libraries. The big one is for the students. The small one is for the teachers.
