What is a room?

A room is a special place inside a building where people can stay, sleep, or do different activities. It has walls, a floor, and a ceiling, just like our classroom. Rooms can be big or small, and they have different things in them, like beds, chairs, tables, and closets. We have different rooms in our homes, like the bedroom, living room, kitchen, and bathroom. Each room has its own purpose and things inside to help us with our daily activities.
