Example:


Hello, this is my room. It is very beautiful and spacious. I have got a desk with a computer on it, but I haven’t got a games console, because my parents don’t like it. In my room, I have got lots of books. They are on the shelf. My books aren’t adventure books, they are science books. In my room, there is a bed. It is a very special bed because it is the bed of Messi (it is true! It isn’t a lie!!!). From my window, I can see the train station. It is a bit noisy, but I like it. I like counting trains. On the wall, I have got a poster of One Direction. I am their n.1 fan.
