MY IDEAL HOME

 Here we are in my ideal home. It's a modern house in the country. It's a big house. It's got one livingroom, one kitchen, two bathrooms, three rooms, one garage, one study room and a one big garden.
Now, my mum is in the kitchen, my dad is in the shop and my brother and I are studying in the livingroom.
My favourite room is the livingroom because in the livingroom there is a big soufa, a big TV and there are more nice things.
