Description of my house
Dans ma maison il y a au rez-de-chaussée, le salon et la cusine. Dans la cuisine, il y a les escaliers qui mènent à l’étage. Il y a une grande chambre et une plus petite chambre. Il y a aussi une salle de bain. Dans mon salon, il y a un canapé avec une couverture car j’ai toujours froid, une table basse et mon bureau. Et oui, j’ai un coin bureau dans mon salon. J’ai une cuisine équipée. Je n’ai pas de table, je mange sur mon canapé. J’ai aussi un jardin avec des plantes mais il n’est pas très joli pour l’instant.
In my house there is on the ground floor, the living room and the kitchen. In the kitchen, there is the staircase which leads to the first floor. There is a big room and a smaller room. There is also a bathroom. In my living room, there is a sofa with a blanket because I am always cold, a coffee table and my desk. And yes, I have a space for my office in my living room. I have a fully equipped kitchen. I do no have any table, I eat on my sofa. I have a garden too with plants but it is not very nice at the moment.
