Describe your bedroom. Use sensory details to describe it. (Paragraph).

My bedroom has a big bed, a fan, a close and a drawer. Also, it has a big window that brings a lot of illumination.  In my bedroom we can hear the noise of the cars and buses in the street and, unfortunately, we also can smell the smoke produced by them. My bedroom can be very hot if the fan is not on, specially during summer.
