My favourite room in the house is my bedroom.As you get into my bedroom the first thing
you see is my bed.Its red and its got a purple bedspread, a brown blanket, a long pillow and
a cushion on it.My cat is always sleeping on it.On the day I took this picture there was a
dirty sock and a rugby ball on it too.
As I love cars, theres a poster with cars above my head, on the wall behind my bed and a
toy car on the chest of drawers to the left of my bed.Net to the toy car , I also have my
football trophy,a blue cap and my !"!.#heres a shelf above the chest of drawers and net
to it theres a window.I love looking out of the window because I can see the park opposite
my house, where I often play with my friends.#here are trees and flowers there.$elow the
window there are two sockets,to plug in my stereo loudspeakers and my digital radio.
#he floor of my bedroom is made of wood and is brown.Ive got a rectangular green carpet
on it.
I love building model planes so, on that day there was a plane, a bo, glue and some paint on
the floor, in front of my bed.I was building my new %ouglas %&'( .
I didnt mention it but my room is a bit messy."o ,on that day , my other sock and my
football boots were on the floor and my baseball bat was against my bed footboard.
Maybe its not very tidy but its the best bedroom in the world.
