IV Read and translate the text “My house”.

 

My house is in a really nice location. It’s a quiet area, but the best thing about it is that it is less than a kilometer from the sea. It is also close to the shops and a market.

The house is really charming outside. It’s an old break building. It has got a patio and is surrounded by a beautiful garden.

Inside, the house is nice and comfortable. There are all modern conveniences, such as central heating, cold and hot running water, air conditioning. It has two floors. On the ground floor there is a cosy living room, a dining room, a kitchen with all the modern equipment and a WC. Upstairs there are two small bedrooms and a bathroom. All rooms are fully furnished.

My house is not luxurious, but it is comfortable and well-maintained.

As an English proverb says, “Every dog is a lion at home.”
