Reading Passage
David recently moved into a new apartment. His bedroom is small but cozy. It has a bed, a desk near the window, and a wardrobe. Above his bed, there is a colorful painting, and the walls are decorated with photos of his family and friends.
One day, David visited his friend Alex’s apartment. Alex’s bedroom was very different from David’s. It was larger and had plain white walls. Instead of photos, Alex had a large mirror above his bed and a bookshelf full of novels.
Although their rooms were different, David noticed some similarities. Both rooms had a desk near the window and a soft rug on the floor. However, David’s room felt warmer because of the decorations, while Alex’s room looked more modern and organized.
When David returned home, he thought about the differences and similarities. He liked how Alex’s room looked, but he felt that his own room reflected his personality more.
