3. It strengthens sentence structure and grammar skills. 
4. It helps students express ideas creatively and effectively.

The Funniest Thing That Happened in My Classroom

Last week, our teacher asked everyone to stay quiet during a surprise test. Suddenly, one student’s phone started playing a loud cartoon song in the middle of the classroom. With great surprise, everyone looked around and tried not to laugh. Meanwhile, the student quickly searched his bag to stop the music. Even the teacher smiled after hearing the funny ringtone. After the class ended, we all laughed together and teased our friend playfully. That unexpected moment became the funniest memory in our classroom.
