The students find the design of the computer room impractical, and are not interested in studying there for this reason. We believed that the computer room needs improving.There are not enough computers in our computer room. The computers that we use at the moment are old and slow, and they often crash, which wastes a lot of time. The computers there are not connected to the Internet, so we can not get the information that we need for our homework. There is only one printer in the room, which often breaks down. As more and more subjects involve information technology, the computer room plays a very important role in our studies. We must use computers to do our homework and get information from the Internet. Many factories and companies cannot function without computers, so those who have computer skills find it easier to find a job.
