Here are some messages about rooms.

• Whose room is like yours?
•  Choose one of the rooms. Draw a picture of it.

My room is pretty small. I share it with my roommate, Mira, but I like it a lot. There's a big window near my desk, so I can look outside when I study. I like that. On my desk, I have a picture of my boyfriend. My bed is against the right wall and Mira's bed is against the left wall. The window is between our desks. There is only one bookcase -- it's to the left of my bed. There is a table next to Mira's bed. The TV and the DVD player are on the table. All of our clothes are in the closet in the corner next to the door.

I love my room! I have a big bedroom with two doors. One door, on the left side of the room, leads to the hallway. The door on the other side of the room leads to a balcony. It's just a small balcony, but there's a chair on it. My bed is inside, next to the balcony door. There's a small table to the right of my bed. I always put my books and magazines on the table -- it gets kind of messy! My dresser is against the opposite wall. Above the dresser there is a mirror.
