1、My Favorite Room
My bedroom is my favorite room in my house. I enjoy my bedroom because it describes things that describe me the most are the wall colors，bedroom suite and the decorations. The reason why I chose the color brown for my room is that it matches
a lot ofcolors and is easy to match things with and it is unusual for people to have
a browm room. When I was younger my bedroom was very girly and brightly painted.
I have a wooden bedroom suite. It has a queen size bed，a nightstand， andtwo dressers The comforter on my bed is pink，green，and white. It describesthe girly side of me. Before I had a queen size bed，I had a twin size bed. It was really small. My nightstand comes in handy for storing my midnight snack and drink. The two dressers give me more space to hold mt massive collection of clothes. My favorite thing about my bedroom is the decorations. I have many paintings in my room. The one I like the most is the cillage painting. It has all the activities that I participate
in such as running，hunting，dancing，etc
( ) 1、My favorite room in my house is the bedroom.
( )2、The color of the bedroom may be blue or gray in the past.
( )3、The bedroom suite includes a queen size bed，a nightstand，and a dresser.
( ) 4、The nightstand is used for storing clothes.

Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. You can’t open the windows. You can’t choose the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours to go out of the airport and into the city.
I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.
I also like cars. You can start your journey when you want to, and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.
（）1. Why do many people like to travel by plane
A. Because it is safe
B. Because it is fast.
C. Because you can walk around in the plane.
D. Because it is cheap.
