Example describe of place :

My Room

My room is a favourite place for me. My room size is 4x4 m. the green wall give me inspirations to study more and make me happy, because I do love the green colour. I used a brown big carpet as floor in my room. I put my bed toward the television, because before I sleep I usually watch the television, and I really enjoyed that moment. Beside the television there is a fan. If warm days I usually turn on the fan and never be stop it. On the right side of the wall if we stand up in front of the door, we can find the cupboard. Next to cupboard there is a desk, desk has two cases, and I hide my books in the case of the desk like usually i do. Among them, I always work my homework in the middle of my room. I can watch television, turn on my fan if warm days, and I can sleep whenever I want. Ofcourse, I can do it everything in myroom. That's why I said my room as my favourite place for me!
