There are two sentences that I found from students' paper:
1、Look! There are two men ruuning into the room.
2、Look! Two men are running into the room

Is there any differences of the meaning of the two sentences above?
Waiting for your reply,and thanks a lot.

Sincerely,
Sara Huang

Either one sounds okay to me, although I like the first one better. (With "there are")
