Example:
My School
My school
is quite large. It has five floors. It consists of fourteen classrooms, some
laboratories, basketball and volleyball courts, some sport facilities, a
library, and toilets.
When you
enter my school, you will see the basketball and volleyball court. On the first
floor, you can find a library is on the left. The seventh grade is on the
second floor
The ninth
grade classrooms are on its left, near the park and the seventh grade
classrooms are on its right, near the teacher’s room. You can find the eighth
grade classrooms beside the seventh grade ones, facing the volleyball court.
There are
four laboratories in my school. They are Chemistry, Physics, Language, and
Biology laboratories. All of them are situated between the basketball and
volleyball courts. You can find the canteen next to the Biology laboratory. At
the opposite of the language laboratory, beside the ninth grade classrooms,
there is a hall.
Then, the
students should park their bikes in the bicycle shed, just behind the ninth
grade classrooms. If they want to go to the toilet, there are some, near the
bicycle shed and behind the teacher’s room.
