READING

"Counting People in Different Places"

Everywhere we go, we see groups of people. For example, in a family, there might be three, four, or more members. A classroom usually has 20 to 30 students, depending on the school. Parks are another place where we find people, such as children playing, adults jogging, or families having picnics.

On a soccer team, there are eleven players, but during a game, you may see coaches, substitutes, and fans. In a restaurant, there might be many visitors at the tables, plus waiters and chefs working.

Knowing how to count people helps us describe these situations. For example:

  • "There are ten children in the playground."
  • "How many people are in the restaurant?"
  • "There isn’t anyone in the classroom right now."

Counting isn’t just about numbers; it’s about understanding our surroundings.
