Scorify.uzQuestions and sample answers
Can you describe your room?
It is a fairly small room with a window facing the courtyard. There is a bed, a desk by the window and a tall bookshelf. I painted the walls light blue last year, which makes the space feel larger and brighter.
What do you usually do in your room?
Mostly I study and sleep, but I also listen to music and call friends. Because it is the only place in the flat where I can be alone, I treat it as my private corner.
Do you share your room with anyone?
Not now, but I did when I was younger. I shared it with my younger brother, and we often argued about the lights. Having my own room now has made it much easier to concentrate.
Is there anything you would like to change in your room?
I would like a bigger desk and a more comfortable chair. I sit for hours when I prepare for exams, and my back sometimes hurts, so better furniture would be a real improvement.
What is your favourite thing in your room?
Probably the bookshelf. It holds my favourite novels and some old notebooks from school. Looking at it reminds me of different stages of my life, so it feels special. I would never want to throw it away.
How important is it to have your own room?
I think it is very important, especially for students. You need silence to focus, and privacy helps you relax after a long day. Without it, I would find studying much harder.
