THIS IS MY HOUSE!

Hello! My name is Peter and this is my house.

My house is quite big. It has got two floors - a ground floor and a first floor. It has also got an attic and a basement. On the ground floor, there is a kitchen, a living room, a big dining room and a bathroom. On the first floor, there are three bedrooms, one bathroom and a big corridor. My bedroom is between my parents’ bedroom and the bathroom. My sister’s bedroom is in front of mine.

I love my bedroom, but I also like the attic. In the attic I keep some of my books and my old toys. I like to spend my time there because it is very spacious and there is a big sofa there where I sometimes take a nap.

At the back of the house, there is a garage where my parents park the family car, and a lovely garden with many green spaces, flowers, two swings and a small swimming pool.

I love my house! It’s very comfortable and cozy.

Hi Friends! My name’s Sandra and I live in Hilltown. It is a small town in the south of England. About 9,000 people live here.

There are many shops in the town and there are three supermarkets. You can buy everything you need in the town. There are two banks, a post office, a police station and a library, too. You can find a big market where you can buy fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and dairy products. I like going to the market with my mum. There is a park in the town centre. In the park children can play because there is a playground. In our town you can find some restaurants and cafes. My favourite café is Icecave. It’s in Park Street and the ice cream is fantastic here!
