The text
1. I’m Alice. This is my house. It’s very big and comfortable. In my house, there are two floors. Downstairs, there is a living room, a dining room, a kitchen and a hall. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, my parents’ bedroom with a private bathroom, my brother’s bedroom and my bedroom. There is another bathroom on the left. Outside the house, there is a garage where my father parks his car and where I keep my bicycle. There is a small garden in front of the house, too.
2. My bedroom is beautiful but there is one small problem: I must share it with my sister, Karen. She’s fifteen years old and she makes a lot of noise when her friends come. I also like the kitchen. It’s always full of delicious food and when I’m hungry, I always go there.
