- What does it look like?

- What changes do you want to make in it?

About my favourite room?

Er, let's me see… there are 5 rooms in my house, but actually the one I like most is my bedroom.

Though it isn't my own bedroom because I have to share it with my sister, whenever I get home, the bedroom is the place where I feel the most comfortable.

And as I lie in my bed, I just want to have a safe and sound sleep.

It's really a relaxing moment.

My bedroom is big enough for a king-sized bed with two bedside tables.

There are two desks and chairs for me and my sister to study.

We've spent a lot of time decorating our room in a very unique way with our favourite paintings and posters.

I find my bedroom very cosy.

But actually there are some certain changes I'd like to make in it.

Firstly, it's the colour of the room.

I would like to change the grey walls to the blue ones.

They'll look much more interesting and lovely.

And the other change I'd like to make in my room is to have a bookshelf next to the window to put all my souvenirs as well as my books.

I'm planning to make my room become a wonderful place.
