Our house is really big. Our
garden’s really big, too with two apple trees and a lot of fl owers. There are six people in my family – my parents, my sister, my two brothers and me. There are four bedrooms. My bedroom’s green and white and my favourite possession is my CD player. We’re all crazy about music in my family so the house is always very noisy!
Hannah

block of fl ats terraced house
semi-detached house
There’s a garden in front of our house and behind the house, there’s a garage for my parents’
car and our bikes. At weekends, my brother and I are always outside on our bikes. Our best friends are in the house next to our house. Our house is number two and their house is number three.
Dan
Our house is in a town. It’s quite small and there isn’t a garden. Upstairs there’s my bedroom, my parents’ bedroom and a bathroom. My bedroom’s great. There are football posters on the wall and there’s a desk for my laptop.
Downstairs there’s a living room and a kitchen.
There’s a bed for our family’s pet under the table in the kitchen. Her name’s Spangle and she’s a black and white cat.
William
Our fl at’s in the centre of London. The block is very modern. It’s only three years old. There are fi fteen fl oors in the block and we’re on the fi fteenth fl oor. There are 450 stairs. Luckily, there’s a lift! There are two bedrooms in our fl at – one for my parents and a big one for me and my sister. From our window the view of the city is fantastic.
