For homework, we have to draw a picture of what our dream room would look like. lol I am a bad artist and so jealous of people who are SO good at drawing. I worked on most of it in class, and I'm actually proud of my drawing, though I still wish I was good at drawing.
We also have to label los muebles and give a description of the room.

Are these correct (just making sure ):
*pillow: la almohada
*backpack: la mochila
*jewelry box: ??
*laptop: el laptop
*lamp: la lámpara
*pencil sharpener:
afilalápices
NM
cortalápices
NM
saca
NF
sacapuntasMX
sacapuntas
NM

Which one?
is it saca?


steps (stairs): los escalones

If you want my opinion, then I will give you my view point, I think that a dream room must to has a bed very big, and it must to has a great a beautiful bathroom, and it's because to me, I like the houses very big, ahh, almost I forgot something, my room I'd like that it has a TV of 21 inches upon of my table inside of my room, so I can to watch my movies in a display very big.

I hope my dream can helps you in your homework.

En México es muy común oír la laptop del inglés, aunque también a veces dicen el portátil.

David wrote la laptop. In Spain, they use el portátil and, according to some dictionaries, they also use el laptop, but on this side of the globe it's la laptop.
