A house for car lovers

My name is Frank and I live in a big flat with my
parents and my two sisters. Our flat is very big.
1 There
are three bedrooms (my sisters share a bedroom),
5 four bathrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, a living
room, a study and a laundry room.

My favourite room of the house is definitely the

living room because it’s a living room and a garage
2
at
10 the same time! We live in a big city, but we don’t
have
to worry about parking because we can park our car
in the living room! There is a special elevator to bring
the car inside, it’s really cool! My father loves his car, so this is his favourite part of the house too.
But
15
there are other nice things in our living room. There are giant windows, so we can enjoy the amazing
3
view over the city and at night it’s even more beautiful! There is a big white sofa with fluffy cushions
where we can relax and watch some films in the evening.

My parents’ bedroom is also really cool! They have a private bathroom with a big bath and glass
4 walls! There is a big, comfortable bed with some pillows and a lamp above the bedside table. There is
20
also a nice carpet on the floor.

But there’s a room in my house that I don’t like. It’s the laundry room because I only go there to
do
chores. My sisters and I always help around the house. I usually fold the laundry in the laundry room
and tidy my bedroom. My sisters tidy their bedroom as well and they do the washing up, but at the
moment they are setting the table and my parents are cooking because it’s dinner time!
