I hate my accounting122 classroom. That class is located in room 606 in Borough of Manhattan Community College. That room is very small, crowded and dirty. In that room there is a lot of computers. Those computers have a black LCD monitor with its modem next to it. The computers are lined up in rows. The first row is the longest. It can sit up to about seven students. The last row is the shortest. I t can only sit one student, and a separate computer against the wall which the professor uses. In front of the first row, there is a desk where the professor would put her books, papers and attendance sheet when she comes in. There are two printers in that room. One printer is in the front of the room, and one printer is in the back of the room. On the ceiling there hangs a projector. The computer that is against the wall is connected to the projector. When the professor wants to show us the homework assignments, she will do it through the projector.

Everything in that room is broken. The Internet doesn’t always work. Sometimes, the Internet shuts down by itself. Some computers don’t even have a mouse. A lot of the time, there isn’t enough chairs or computers for every student. So, the people who come in late won’t have a computer or chair. The projector is a little bit broken too. When you push the power button, sometime it won’t go on. And when the projector does go on, the pictures are usually blurry. In that room, the heater and the conditioner never work. When it is summertime there is no air conditioning and when it is wintertime there is no heat.

The good thing about that room is that it has a great view. When you look out the window, you can see bird, tall buildings, trees and the clear blue sky. Another good thing about that class is that you can use their computers for free. You can their Internet to do homework or just use it to play pool. The last good thing about that class is that you don’t have to pay to print. Instead of paying a dime a page in the library, you can print all you want for free.

I think students would have a hard time succeeding at any courses in that room. There are a lot of equipments that are not functioning properly. Since all the lectures and assignments are listed online, it would be harder for students to get the assignments. And it is hard to concentrate with a blurry projector and the temperature in that room.

Admin: This is a clear explanation of your opinion and the reasons for it--but you need to make more general conclusions about what (and why) a good college classroom should include. There are also still some proofreading problems.
