Speaking exercise

If I start a school

There are many machines in my school, because I think everyday we will go upstairs and downstairs, I am very tired. I want to build an escalator. I will make many robots in our school, when some teacher is ill, this robot can be the teacher.  This robot can play with us too. You all can play on the playground, I will use the robots to build the playground. I will put many telescopes at school, so the students can look at the sun, sky and stars.

Firstly, there would be many machines in my school. When teachers are ill, the robots could be the substitute teachers. The robots would play with the students as well. I would also use the robots’ help to build a big playground so everyone could play on it. Secondly, I feel tired from going upstairs and downstairs everyday so I want to build an escalator too. Lastly, I would put many telescopes at school, so the students could look at the sun, sky and stars.
