A letter home
Secondary school children from a
developing country. We know this because there are no walls to the classroom so the climate must be hot. The desks are close together but there does not appear to be enough desks for each child. The students are poorly dressed.
2. Describe the classrooms according to the 2nd and 3rd pictures
The classrooms are made with wooden poles and have bamboo walls and grass roofs (except for the new science lab which has a metal roof).
The walls do not reach the roofs (except the walls of the science lab).
There is no glass in the windows.
3. What similarities and differences can you find between Jo’s classroom and yours
Similarities to my classroom
1 There are desks.
2 There are both boys and girls in the
classroom.
3 There is no spare space in the
classroom.
4 There is a separate science laboratory.
Differences from my classroom
1 Some of the walls are missing.
2 There is a pole holding up the roof
in the middle of the room.
3 There is no school uniform.
4 The students have no textbooks.
5 There is no glass in the windows.

classroom themselves.
