room, a kitchen, two bathrooms, three bedrooms, and a warehouse. Talk about my kitchen, it is not

In the kitchen, there are cooking utensils, such as a gas stove, green pot, and orange kettle. The pot and
the kettle are on the gas stove. Then, the cooker hood is under the gas stove, and the oven is above the
gas stove. There are also modern electronic tools, such as a white refrigerator in the corner of the
kitchen. My mother uses it to store the food supply. There is also a silver toaster beside the refrigerator.
I usually use it for baking my bread in the morning. There are some plates, glass, cups, forks, and
spoons inside the dish cabinet. Below the dish cabinet, there is a hanging shelf. My mother hung up
gloves, a frying pan spatula, and a ladle. Besides, there is a seasoning counter to put jars of sugar, coffee,
salt, and other seasoning bottles on it. Near the window, there is a sink with a tap. My mother put a
brown dining table in the middle of the kitchen with four white chairs. My family and I usually have
breakfast, lunch, and dinner together there. On the dining table, there is a cup. It is my father’s cup of
coffee. Although this kitchen is small, I like it because I can reach everything without moving too much.
It also has many cabinets and big windows. Thus, the sun can shine easily through it.
