Look at the photo. In which country do you think this classroom is?

� EnglandIndiaRussia

�Read the text. Check your answer.

Look around your own classroom. Are there any desks? Is there a noticeboard? The answer is probably yes. Schools in large cities in India are the same. But outside the cities, they're often very different. The children in the photo go to a small school in India. Their classroom is outside. There isn't a noticeboard. There's a desk for the teacher, but there aren't any desks for the children. In fact, there aren't any chairs - the children sit on the floor. But there are some books - and a lot of motivation!
