    Identification
    My favorite room in the whole world is my own bedroom in my parents’ house.
    Description
    It has everything that I want in this life: a comfortable bed that faces a wide window on the east side of the
    room. So, when I wake up in the morning and swipe the window curtain, the light of sunrise enters the room little by
    little, creates a beautiful silhouette and warms the whole room. On the right corner of room near the window,
    there’s a study desk that was once my father’s. Next to that desk, there’s a white wardrobe where I put all of my
    clothes.
    In front of the wardrobe, at the other side of the room, there’s a yellow bookshelf where I put half of my
    book collection. I choose the color yellow so it matches the color of my bedroom wall. Next to the bookshelf, I have
    a dressing table. And next to that dressing table is where I put my guitar. It’s a fifteen-year-old guitar but it still
    sounds great and I love it so much.

    shaped body with a long, thin neck. It has six strings that
    you pluck to make sounds. It can be the color of wood or
