            where it is

            what it looks like (or, what it is made of)

            and explain how or why you use it.

·        Furniture is a part and parcel of every home.

·        There is a lot of furniture in my home also.

·        There are beds and sofa sets, chairs and tables, cupboards and dressing tables.

·        But here I would like to talk about a piece of furniture that I use very often.

·        This is a study table.

·        I have this table in my room.

·        This is a special table which my father got made for me by a carpenter in my home town. The body of the table is made of pure teak wood. The top is of board which has a grey mica topping.

·        This is bigger than a conventional study table.

·        It is L shaped.

·        On one side I have set my desktop PC

·        There are shelves on the top on which I have set my books.

·        There are drawers on one side in which I keep my stationery material and CDs and DVDs.

·        There is a chair which can be slid inside the table when not in use.

·        I find this table very convenient when I have to study or work on my computer.

·        I have a beautiful table lamp on one side.

·        The light falls on my books from the left side.

·        I just love this table.

·        So, this is one important item of furniture in my house.
