Example – Describe your house.

I’m Nelly and I live in a flat. It’s a small building. It’s light blue. It has got only three floors.

I live on the second floor and my cousin lives on the third floor. It isn’t very high and I like it.

In my flat there are two bedrooms. My bedroom is on the right of the bathroom, near my parents’ bedroom. In front of my bedroom there is a small study. That’s where I study. There is a living room with two big windows, a toilet and a dining room. The Kitchen is on the left of the toilet.

There is no garden but there is a garage for my father’s car.
