This picture depicts a scene in the classroom with a man and many children. There is an alphabet poster pasted on the wall behind them. Some vocabulary words printed are also found on the notice boards. There is a group of students crowding around a man at the table. Every student is wearing a blue shirt. I think the shirt is their school uniform as they are all wearing the same blue polo tees.

I supposed that the man is the students’ teacher. He is holding a paint brush and seems as if explaining to them what it is. I assume that they are having an art lesson as I can see paintbrushes and a palette on the table.

The teacher could be asking a question as I can see the students raising their hands spontaneously. From their facial expressions, I know they are having a ball of their time. A few of them did not raise their hands. I think they could be lacking confidence in their answers in accordance to the teacher’s question.

The students’ actions show that they are enthusiastic and lively. Judging from the color of their hairs and their face features, I think that they are from different countries, and this could be an international school.
In my opinion, having an activity with people from different countries would be encouraged strongly in schools. This could improve their relationship and friendship.
