Q:
Please show me example sentences with "The bed is next to the window", or "The bed is under the window"? Which preposition is right to use? .
A:
Actually, they BOTH could be right in the circumstances.
If someone says, "The bed is under the window" a person would think you mean that one side of the bed is up against the wall where the window is located. So "under the window" means that the bed is literally under the window. Instead of "under" you could say "beneath".
But if someone says, "The bed is next to the window" a person would think that the bed is on the same WALL as the wall with the window, but it is not *below* the window. Instead of "next" they may use the word "beside".
So if you look at the words 'beside' and 'beneath' you will see they give a different impression of where something is located.

Q:
Please show me example sentences with "bed of roses".
A:
Entirely a metaphor. There is no real 🛏️ made of 🌹. It evokes being comfortable among something beautiful. It is only used for those who accept that they shall die soon or ironically.
"If I die young, cover me in satin👰, lay me down in a bed of roses." The speaker is comfortable with death and wants her funeral to be a celebration of her life and her eternal peace in heaven. Perhaps she wants flowers around her coffin ⚰️ but by no means an actual 🛏️.
"Running a farm in rural Portugal is no bed of roses! It is tough and dirty work."

Q:
What is the difference between laying down on my bed and lying down on my bed ?
A:
“Laying down on my bed” means that you are resting on your bed, or simply relaxing, or sleeping.
You may have heard “lying down on my bed” from someone who speaks English, as we often tend to forget what is and is not grammatically correct. “Lying down” implies that you are putting an item down, and has to have a direct object with the verb (example: book) and is not used to describe something in a sense that you are resting your body. So you do not use “lying down on my bed” at all, it is simply a grammatical error that is very common nowadays.

2. She got pricked with a pencil by one of her friends. So, after that, she’s not able to talk anymore.
▶️Do they sound natural?:)

oh wow, I thought her friends were poking her lightly, so she got angry at them, and doesn't want to talk to them. I didn't know what you meant since "pricked" is a different word. 찔리다 means "punctured", but this word is not really used for living things, like humans. "She got poked with a pencil by one of her friends, and then she was bleeding. So after that, she's not able to talk anymore."
