Describing a Room ( by Irene)

This bedroom belongs to a teenage boy. There is a cap on the top shelf of the closet. Under the cap, there are T-shirts and wrinkly sweaters. The quilt on the bed is terribly scattered, there is even a dirty basketball on it. Many items are put on the floor at random, like half-eaten and moldy cookies, fishing rod, radio, and broken tape. There is an electric guitar leaning against the bed. You can see a large picture on the wall at the back of the room. The picture shows a running soccer athlete. Next to the picture is a chest of drawers. There are books and a lamp above the top of the drawer, moreover, a yucky smelly sock is hung on the top of the lamp. The top drawer is opened and crammed with clothes, also two towels are hung outside the bottom drawer. This room is messy enough, so you can understand how lazy the owner is !
