📖 Reading

This is my house. It is small, but it is very nice. My house has got two floors. On the first floor, there is a kitchen, a living room, and a bathroom. On the second floor, there are two bedrooms. My favorite room is the kitchen. It is next to the living room. In the kitchen, there is a big table and four chairs. My mom and dad make food there every day. I can smell fresh bread in the morning! My bedroom is upstairs. It is small, but I love it. There is a bed, a desk, and a window. From my window, I can see the garden. There are red flowers and a big tree in the garden. Behind the house, there is a small garden. My dog Max is always in the garden. He can run and play there. In front of the house, there is a garage. Our car is in the garage.
