Hello! My name is Karim. Last month, my family moved to a new home. Now we live in a nice house with a small garden. I am very happy here.

Our house has two floors. Downstairs, there is a kitchen, a living room and a bathroom. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms. My bedroom is small, but I like it. There is a bed, a desk and a big window. From my window, I can see the trees.

My favourite room is the living room. In the evening, my family sits together on the sofa. We talk and we watch television. Sometimes we play games. Our new home is not big, but it is warm and full of love.

Key words
