Tell vs Show

I.
T-  The room was a mess.

S-  My eyes popped out of my skull at the sight of the pigsty in front of me.  There were shirts sweat shirts and variouse assorted clothes left on the floor and draped over everything, toys and books galore scattered on the floor.  The desk was littered with papers and the bed left unmade.

II.
T- It was boring

S-  The students sat speechless in class fidgiting with various items. The teachers lecture seemed endless, a fun class now in the doldrums because of one question.  Even worse was the fact that Mrs Thomas seemed unaware of her students  extreme lack of interest.
