I want to tell you about my new house. It is very cosy and nice. It consists of three floors. There is a living- room on the ground floor where you can find everything for a good rest. There is a cosy kitchen there too. You can cook favourite dishes there. We've got a bathroom and a hall on the ground floor. There is my bedroom, my parents' bedroom and a room for guests on the first floor. My room is very nice. I have a rest here, do my homework or just sleep. There is a room for entertaining on the second floor. We have fun in it. We play different games, read books and newspapers. There is a garden in the yard of my house. My mum loves it a lot. In summer we look after flowers together . I love my new house. Amy, do you like plants? Do you like gardening? Are there organizations which go in for gardening in you city?
