"My room". Short texts in English for children and beginners
All rooms in my house are very nice but most of all I love my room. I use it both as a bedroom and a study. It is a perfect place for my studies and rest. It is cozy and light. Although my room is the smallest one, it has some advantages.
First of all, it is my own room and I am happy that I don't share it with anyone. My room is the most distant one in our apartment, so I always admire the peace and quietness here. Being alone in this room for some time, gives me a chance to clear my head and collect my thoughts.
The window of my room faces the kindergarten which I used to attend in my childhood. I enjoy looking out of my window in sunny weather and watching beautiful sunsets in the evenings. The walls in my room are green, so they give me the illusion of sitting somewhere outside, alone with nature. The color of curtains matches the wallpapers perfectly. Besides I have some green plants on the windowsill. There are photos of my family and friends and posters with my favorite music bands and sportsmen on the walls. I think they make my room special.
There isn't much furniture in my room but I have everything I need. The wooden floor is covered with thick beige rug in the middle of the room. There is a writing table with a computer, a printer and a lamp on it. I keep my notebooks, pens and pencils and other necessary things in its drawers. The room is also furnished with a built-in wardrobe to keep my clothes in and a bookcase for my textbooks, favorite books and CDs. My comfortable sofa-bed is just to the left of the window. I like sitting in it, drinking hot tea and reading some interesting book or listening to music. There is a beige lamp on the ceiling but I don't use it often. I prefer the lamp on the table and a floor-lamp near my bed.
The atmosphere of my room helps me relax and gives me a sense of comfort and stability after a hard day.

When learning English at school or in any other educational institution, you always start with the basics and gradually move towards more serious and complex concepts. One of the tasks for beginners is to describe the interior of their own room.
Writing essays on such a simple and uninteresting topic for many enriches vocabulary and teaches you to draw parallels and connections between words, to speak not only correctly, but also in the right sequence.
The learned words, for the most part, will be nouns and adjectives that people often use in everyday life. Studying and repeating them will help to better master the yet unfamiliar, but such an attractive foreign language. There are certain rules for describing the environment, thanks to which this can be done easily, quickly, and most importantly, correctly. Let's talk about them.
Interior Description Rules
The purpose of creating a description of a room is to form the reader's most complete idea of it, primarily in the form of visual images.
In order not to miss some important features, without which the description is not complete, you must:
- start the description by indicating the place of residence (village / city, name of the settlement, for example, Moscow, Saratov, Babushkino village);
- tell what kind of house you are describing (private, multi-apartment);
- characterize your personal housing as a whole (small / large, how many rooms).
After the introductory part of the description is completed, you need to describe each room separately, to do this, specify:
The description ends with one of the following phrases:
- I love my room, it is very bright and cozy.
I like my room, because it's bright and cozy. - I've always wanted to have a room like this.
I've always wanted to have a room, like this. - My house is the most beautiful in the area.
My house is the most beautiful thereabouts. - My room is always clean and tidy, I often receive guests here.
My room is always cleaned and tidied, I receive guests here very often.
The phrase can be anything, the main thing is that it brightens up the general dryness of the text that is written above. A beautiful description should be creatively thought out. Simply listing what is in a room or house is not the best option. You need to try to convey in the description your personal attitude to each thing.
How to describe a room in English?
When describing a room, you will need prepositions of place, pronouns, nouns and verbs, almost the entire vocabulary. On the one hand, this is good, the vocabulary will expand, but on the other hand, you will have to learn a lot of new words and terms, remember how to build an English sentence correctly. The following tables and translations of commonly used words in the description will help make this process easier.
Prepositions
The description of the interior of a room is not complete in English without “prepositions of place”. For example, we need to say where the closet is. We say that it is located near the window, using the English preposition "near". "The wardrobe is near the window."
You can use other prepositions of place, most of them are presented in the table below:
above | above, above |
across | across, across, on the other side |
against | on the contrary, around |
among | between, among |
at | at, near, in, about, on |
before | before |
behind | behind, behind |
below | under, below |
in front of | ahead, opposite |
between | between |
beside | beside, next to, beside, beside |
by | near, next to |
in | in, on |
inside | inside, in |
near | near, around |
on | on the |
outside | outside, outside |
over | over, over, on the other side |
round | around, around |
under | under, below |
The main prepositions of place in English are "in, at, on":
- The preposition "at" is used when indicating the position of an object at a particular point:"The table is at the window."
- The preposition "on" is used when it is necessary to indicate the position of an object on a surface. For example: "There is a beautiful vase on the table - There is a beautiful vase on the table."
- The preposition "in" is used to indicate a place in a vast space. Example: "My house is located in Sochi - My house is located in Sochi."
Similarly, with the rest of the prepositions used to describe the interior.
Required structures
To talk beautifully about your house, to describe it in English, you need to know the topic “My house\flat” and be able to correctly use the construction of words like “there is\are”. The latter literally translates as "there is or is there." With this design, you can simply describe both the whole house and individual rooms. It formally contains the subject "there" (there, here) and the verb "is/are" (is). In the sentence, the constructions "there are" or "there is" are often found. Both of them have the same meaning, but the first is used when talking about a variety of things, events, and the second, if we are talking about the singular. Example:
There is only 1 chair in our bedroom - There is one chair in our bedroom.
There are chairs and armchairs in my room.
To create a beautiful and competent description, you will need to use the maximum of the words in the tables below, as well as skillfully operate with the presented constructions:
in the center of | in the center (the sofa is located in rooms, houses, apartments - The sofa is in the center of the room, house, table) |
in the corner of | in the corner (In the corner of the room there is an armchair - There is an armchair in the corner of the room) |
to the right of | to the left (To the left of the table is the bed - There is a bed to the right of the table) |
to the left of | on the right (To the right of the window is a shelf with toys - There is a shelf with the toys to the left of the window) |
Describing where we live
When compiling a description of your own home, you need to determine its location, as already mentioned above. To do this, we use the words from the table. So, "Where do you live?" or "Where do you live?"
house | house |
street | the outside |
apartment | flat |

The name of the rooms in the house
It is impossible to describe the interior of a house without knowing how the individual rooms are called in English. It is worth correcting this omission or repeating already familiar words.
They start listing the rooms in the house immediately after indicating where the names are located, how many floors it has, comfortable or not very described housing.
An example of how to make such a description:
- Our apartment has two rooms - a bedroom and a living room. There is also a kitchen, bathroom, hallway.
Our apartment has two rooms - a bedroom and a living room. There is also a kitchen, a bathroom, a hallway. - I live in a one-room apartment. It is very cozy and bright, consists of a kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom.
