I. READ THE TEXT AND VISUALIZE WHAT YOU UNDERSTAND.

Saul lives in a small apartment in the outskirts of La Paz City. Actually, he lives very far from the city. There
are three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a small bathroom in the apartment. Saul´s room is not big, but
it is comfortable and warm. His brother´s room is next to his room, so it is warm, too. Saul´s parents´ room is
across from his room. It is a big room, so his mother irons, and saws there, too. The apartment has got a
medium-sized living room and a furnished kitchen. The bathroom is behind the kitchen. It is very small and
dark. Saul loves his room because he has got a lot of things there. For example, there are pictures of his favorite
music bands on the walls and on the ceiling, and there is a thick rug on the floor. There is also a television set
across from his bed, which is between a night table and a chair. He puts his laptop on the night table when he
studies until late. There is also a wooden bookcase next to the television set and his wardrobe is across from the
window. All in all, the apartment is a nice place and Saul is happy with it for now, but he wants to live in a
