Mariama:
I think a school must have modern facilities. For example, computers, good Internet, and clean classrooms. With these, students can learn better.

Ibrahima:
I don’t agree. For me, the most important thing is the teachers. They must have high diplomas and a lot of knowledge. A good teacher can teach well even without many materials.

Fatou:
Yes, but that is not everything. Human relations are also very important. Teachers must be kind and understand students. If a student is afraid, they cannot learn well.

Mariama:
That’s true, but with modern facilities, lessons are more interesting. We can watch videos and do online exercises.

Ibrahima:
I think a well-trained teacher can explain clearly. Even with just a board, they can give a good lesson.

Fatou:
But if the teacher does not listen to students, it is not good. Students must feel comfortable to ask questions.

Mariama:
So, we need everything: good classrooms, computers, and also good teachers.

Ibrahima:
Yes, and teachers with high diplomas.

Fatou:
And also good relationships between students and teachers!

All together:
The ideal school has modern facilities, good teachers, and good human relations!
