a piece of furniture

I live in a spacious house with a variety of furniture, but the one I’d like to talk about is my desk.
This desk isn’t a normal desk, it’s an Integrated desk with a bookcase, which is put in my bedroom. I remember this desk was bought by my mom as a birthday gift when I was 10, so I loved it and cherish it (love it and cherish it OR loved it and cherished it - you can't mix past and present).
I usually use it to write my homework. Comparing with school’s desk, it is wider than school’s, nearly 3 times size. Therefore, I don’t care how to put my books to avoid disturbing me doing schoolwork. It’s really cozy with and spacious space.
Well, except doing homework, I put a computer on it and thus I can surf on the internet in my spare time.
Honestly, I like it except because it’s a meaningful gift to me, there are some other reasons. It accompanied me with for a long time from primary school to senior high school. Everytime I’m frustrated, it always gives me a place to calm down. Another reason is that it provides a good environment for study. For this reason, I studied hard and was admitted to a university. It really gave me an unforgettable and precious memory.

My city

I like my city, its culture, traditions, the places it has, everything, I have lived here since I can remember. Anyway I want to talk about "the day of the death", and what do we do on this date. This celebration is very known  all over the country, people go to the Patzcuaro's lake and throw " globos de cantoya" to make tribute for their dead people. They also make altars with fruit on them  (or any food that the person liked when he or she was alive) and a photo on the top.

Yes and no. "I set my sights on her" implies that she is a goal or a target of yours. "I had my eye on her" means you have been watching her. The difference is that in the first case, you have decided that she is the one you want, but in the second case, you were still making up your mind about her.
