MY LOVELY HOME
My house is only a five minute-walk from school.
It is not very big, but very cosy and quiet. This is the place where we can relax and find our own space. In our home, we really enjoy our relaxing time from the pressure of school and work.
It has a nice and warm living room. There is a beautiful painting of scenery hanging on the wall. My father is a keen gardener. He puts some pots of indoor plants near the door. In a low cabinet, you will see the trophies, pictures of my family, small toys, and some books.
I am lucky to have a room to my self. I paint the wall olive green. It’s my favorite color. There is a desk. I do my homework there. I also put a portable radio-tape there.
The kitchen is my mother’s domain. My mother keeps it clean all day. There is a blue wall cabinet in it. It harmonizes with the grey wall tiles.
