There are many pillows in the classroom. People like to sleep and sit on the pillows. We can put them on the chairs so that our bottoms will not hurt. I like the classroom because we can read, relax and learn.

There are many books in the classroom. People like to read books so I think it is a good idea to have books in the classroom. It makes the classroom look like a library. People like the classroom because of the knowledge. I like the classroom with a lot of books.
