MY NEW HOUSE

You and your family have moved into a new house recently. Below is a description of your new house.
Rearrange the paragraphs into the correct order.

The front door opens to the living room. It is rectangular in shape and measures 22 feet by 10 feet. We have
our old rattan furniture here but my parents have bought some new things for the new house. They bought a
television set, a new hi-fi set and a new carpet for the living room. Some of us will sit together in front of
our new 30-inch television while others will listen to music on our new hi-fi set. We also have two big
armchairs into which we can sink and relax. The windows in the living room are huge so the breeze would
gently cool the house.

My family moved last month from our low-cost flat into a single-storey terrace house. It was a very exciting
experience because it was very different from what we had grown used to. Our new house is within walking
distance of facilities like the local library, the post office and some shops. And of course, it is near my
school too.

There are three bedrooms in the new house. The largest room is the master bedroom with a bathroom
attached. It has a lot of space and the bathroom is equipped with hot and cold showers. The other two rooms
are smaller. There are beds and built-in cupboards in all the rooms.

Instead of being on the 13th floor, we actually have a garden. The garden is next to the driveway. It is
beautifully maintained by my mother, with a variety of beautiful flowering plants of various colours, a few
bushes and a big ‘angsana’ tree. There is also a small pond with goldfish swimming lazily in it. We even
have a covered porch for our car.

Behind the living room is the dining area and kitchen. My sister and I enjoy cooking, trying out recipes and
new dishes in our new kitchen. There is a whole range of cooking facilities. They include a microwave oven
which I could not do without. In addition, there is plenty of work space to cut and prepare food and a big
double sink for efficient washing-up jobs.

Finally, comparing it to our old flat, this house is a very large and spacious house. It would indeed be
“Home Sweet Home”.
