There is a shop on the ground floor. There is a lift in our block of flats. Though there are four rooms in our flat, we like the living-room best of all because in the evenings we gather there to have tea, watch TV, talk and rest.

The living room is large. There are two windows and a door in it. The windows face the street. The door leads to my grandparents’ bedroom. There is a table and some chairs in the middle of the room. There is a sofa near the window. The TV is in the corner. There are some arm-chairs and a piano in the living-room.

My sister plays the piano. The bookshelves are on the wall. The ceiling is high.

In the morning we have breakfast in the kitchen. Our kitchen is large and light. The table is near the window. The refrigerator is in the corner. It keeps all the food fresh. It doesn’t use much electricity. The gas stove is opposite the refrigerator.

• Where do you live?
