**// Instructor's Sample Paragraph: An Important Place //** My Cozy Living Room My favorite place is my living room in my house because it is a place with a lot of activity. It is a typical living room with a TV, couch, chair, coffee table, and bookshelf, but the people inside make it special. My daughter, husband, and I spend a lot of time there. It is the place where I spend my weekends talking with my family, watching movies, getting the latest news, and reading. My living room has been my favorite place for a long time now. I have rarely shared this place with others outside my immediate family. This place makes me feel warm, cozy, and relaxed, and that is why it is my favorite place to be in the whole world.
