Speaker A
Sometimes, I also watch variety shows here. I came in from this side just now. On this side, there are two glass doors. Across from the door, door across from it, there's a wall. There’s a window on this wall.
Speaker A
Well, this is the window shade. The shade is closed right now, so you can't see outside. Open it a little. Under the window, this is the radiator. In the winter, when it's very cold, you can use it to keep warm.
Speaker A
Above the window on the right, there's an air conditioner. When it's very hot in the summer, I turn on the air conditioner. There's a small sofa in front of the window. It's a single-seat sofa. If you like IKEA, you might recognize this sofa.
Speaker A
I bought it from IKEA. I also put a small cushion on the sofa, so it's more comfortable to sit on. Next to the sofa, there's a storage basket here. Inside are some things I use for working out: a yoga mat,
Speaker A
resistance bands, and workout gloves. Sometimes, I exercise in this room. Alright, now let's look to the right. Now you can see my entire desk. Every day, I sit in this chair to work. There's also a throw pillow on the chair.
Speaker A
When I sit for a long time, I put it behind my lower back and lean against it. Let's keep looking under the desk. On the left, there's a short cabinet. It's a drawer cabinet. It has three drawers. I'll open the top drawer and show you.
Speaker A
There are quite a lot of things inside. It's almost full. Alright, let's close it. Next to the drawer cabinet, there's a trash can. The trash is almost full too. I need to take out the trash today. On the far right side, there's a large plastic box.
Speaker A
Alright, that's what's under the desk. Now let's look at the desktop. My desk usually isn't that tidy. Because I needed to film this video, I just tidied it up a couple of days ago. Now let's look at the far left side of the desk.
Speaker A
This is my old laptop, and this is its mouse. It's old too. Next to it is a white desk lamp. And then, in the middle of the desk is my new laptop. Under the laptop, there's a very large mouse pad.
Speaker A
Mouse, mouse pad. Now you can also see my laptop is charging. This is the charging cable. The charging cable is plugged into the power strip. This is my power strip. Right now, my power bank and Bluetooth earbuds are both charging.
Speaker A
And below that, there's a row of small compartments and drawers here. Let's look inside this drawer. They're all study supplies. And in the compartments over here, there are some books and notebooks. There's a pack of tissues in this compartment.
Speaker A
Let's keep looking to the right. There's a small shelf here. There's a router on the shelf. Without it, I wouldn't be able to go online. And this one on the left, take a guess, what is it? This is actually a pencil case.
Speaker A
But it doesn't have any pens inside. Look, these are my cosmetics. Sometimes, I do my makeup in this room. Alright, let's keep looking at the far right side. There are several storage boxes here and some folders and document bags.
Speaker A
Alright, this is the desk area. Lastly, let's look at the bookshelf. My bookshelf is above the desk. It's a wall-mounted bookshelf. There are three levels in total. The bottom level holds a lot of books, but most of them were bought a long time ago.
Speaker A
The top two levels are quite empty. There aren't any books there, just a few small items. Oh right, I just remembered. Recently, I've been reading e-books. I haven't bought paper books in a long time. I wonder, do you prefer e-books or paper books?
Speaker A
Let me know in the comments. So, this is my home office. I hope today's video helps with your Chinese learning. See you in the next video.
