IV. Here are three descriptions of bedrooms. Read the descriptions and match each to a plan.

1. M y room is at the end of the corridor. On my door there is a small bell. My room’s got a big bed, with a nice yellow bedspread. My bed is in front of the window. When you look out of the window you can see the garden of our house, and the school of Oyak. Next to the bed there is a small table. On the table, there is a lamp. There is a chair behind the table. On the wall near the door I’ve got photographs of my family and friends. There are also photos of children, because I love children. Near the table there is a cupboard for my clothes. Behind the door is the bookcase. But there are no books! On the shelves, I’ve got some plants, small clock and a radio. The room is small but comfortable. I feel relaxed in my room.

2. The room is small but lovely. The carpet on the floor is very colourful. On the right I’ve got my cassette player and on the left my wardrobe. Next to the cassette player there is a table and then some bookshelves. The table has got a lamp on it. On the left, beside the wardrobe, I’ve got my bed with cushions on it. Next to the bed there is a small armchair with cushions too. I’ve got a vase of flowers on the bedside table which is between the armchair and the wardrobe. The walls are white and covered with posters. I haven’t got a dressing table, only a mirror on the wall. The curtains at the window are colourful – they match the carpet. My favourite thing is the balcony, which is lovely on long, hot summer nights.

3. Opposite the door, there are four cupboards along the wall. Then, on the right, against the wall, I’ve got a working desk. With three shelves above it, full of books and my tape recorder and cassettes. On the left, there is my classical guitar hanging on the wall, next to the bed.. I’ve got a television too, on a cupboard beside the desk . On the opposite wall there is a window and a bookcase. There is a side table beside my bed. There is a small lamp on the table. The walls everywhere have got a lot of pictures and posters.
