Describing pictures

On the top of the picture there are visible three or four rows of flags hanging from the roof of the room for example the flag of Japan, Canada, United Kingdom or Dominican Republic. The are also a lot of tables organizaded in sort of rows the same weay the flags are, almost if there were one row of tables under each row of flags. The tables are full of people sitting around them, and there are also people standing in different parts of the room, on the left side of the image in the entrance of the room, in the background and in the foreground.
what is happening in the picture is probably a meeting of students from different nationalities, that is why the flags are all hanging up there, and that is what you first imagine when looking the picture, the flags occupy a lot of space so they instantly catch up your attention and the first thing you imagine about what is happening in the picture is what i already said, an international conference of meeting between students. That is a good way of leaning, not only learn from your teacher and from people of your safe nationality, but from people of different nationalities that will have even more to teach than a teacher, everyone will teach to everyone and learn the same way from everyone. Thinking like an international student with a lot of points of views of what happens in the world is practically what the IB is looking for from every student who integrates this organization, and having this type of classes is a perfect way to reach that.
Here in Chile there are a lot of universities that accepts students from other countries and here in Viña, The Mackay School is one of the few schools in the city that accept them too. I have learned a lot from one of my classmates who comes from South Korea. He told us about everything in korea, and i lerned a lot specially to understand him. Firstly I didn`t know that a lot of celebrations we have here in Chile are also celebrated there in Korea, for example Christmas. We celebrate it because of the birth of  Jesus Christ but they celebrate it only because it is a good way to share your feeling with the ones who loves you with gifts.
