i live by the motto ‘my bedroom is my castle’. my bedroomis a place where i can relax and be comfortable and i think, thatis why it is important to me. i have a double bed with four pillowsand my favourite comforter. it is a little mermaid comforter,i know it is childish but it is soft and warm. and ofcourse my tickle me elmo sits on my bed and keeps me company.a lot of times i just lie down and close my eyes and daydreamabout places i’d like to see or think about things thatmake me happy. another reason why my room is so dear to myheart is that i can go there when i want to be on my own. i canjust shut my door and tell everyone in my household not tobother me. whenever i’m stressed out with school, i like to gointo my room and just be myself. when i’m there, i know everythingis going to be all right. it may be hard to have someprivacy if you share a room. also my room holds most of mypersonal belongings, which have sentimental value and i do notwant anyone else to touch them. my bedroom is kind of cluttered,but that is the way i like it and i don’t care what anyonesays. as you first come into my room, to the right is my dresser. it is full of things like perfume, jewellery, hair ties and otherthings that come out of my pockets at the end of the day. diagonallyacross from my dresser is my curio cabinet. in it thereis my collection of porcelain dolls, which are my most treasureditems. next to my bed, which is in the middle of the room is mycomputer and my entertainment centre. i’m sort of a hoarder.i think everything is worth keeping so i do keep everythingfrom old clothes to my childhood stuffed animals which are allneatly sitting on my hope chest in my room. my hope chest isfilled with things i will need in the future like towels, old pictureframes and other little things. these things mean a lot tome because a lot of these objects belonged to my late grandmotherand i am honoured to own them.my bedroom is always there for me.

они слышат звуки биг бена каждую четверть часа.
