Hello! I am Li Lei. Let me show you our big school. There are three buildings in it. There are thirty-six classrooms and twelve teachers’ rooms in Building 1. We have lessons in the classrooms. Building 2 is behind Building 1. It has four music rooms and five art rooms. There is also a large teachers’ room in Building 2, and our music and art teachers work there. The library, the computer room and the dining hall are in Building 3. They are not in the same floor. The dining hall is on the first floor. We have lunch there. The library is between the dining hall and the computer room. There are many books in the library and we can read books there after school. I like our library. In front of the buildings, there is a big playground. We have PE lessons and sometimes we play games there.
