What Is It Like in Inside an English Home

WHAT IS IT LIKE INSIDE AN ENGLISH HOME?

Most English people live in towns and cities.

Hi, my name is Erik. I live in a small town in the south east of England.

I live in a detached house. My house is made of bricks.

In my house there are three rooms downstairs and three rooms upstairs. We have central heating which keeps our house warm. Some houses have an open fire place but we don't.

ROOMS DOWNSTAIRS

Kitchen

If you come in to my house through the back door, you will find yourself in the kitchen. This is the room where food is stored and cooked.

In my KITCHEN there is:

A fridge (refrigerator )

The fridge is the place where mum keeps food cool.

There is also a freezer under the fridge where mum freezes things.

Cupboards

We have cupboards for food and for plates and bowls etc.

The Cooker

We have an electric cooker.

Microwave

Very quick and easy to use. We use it to cook our food quickly.

Washing Machine

Mum washes our clothes here and hangs them out in our garden to dry.

Sink

I help my mum wash up the plates in the sink.

Dishwasher
We put our plates, cups and cutlery in here to wash them.

In my LIVING ROOM

- there is a table with chairs : the place where we eat our meals.

- there is a settee
In America I think they call this a sofa. It is a comfy 2 seater chair.

- there are two comfy chairs.

- there is a television, a DVD Player and a Video Recorder
We also have satellite TV.

- there are cupboards

- there is a bookcase

- there is a radiator to keep the room warm

In my BATHROOM there is:

·  A toilet

·  A bath

·  A sink with two taps (one for hot water and one for cold) I clean my teeth at the sink and also wash my hands and face.

·  A shower
I like having a shower rather than a bath.

·  Laundry basket
This is where I put my dirty clothes for washing.

ROOMS UPSTAIRS

There are three BEDROOMS upstairs : my parents’ bedroom, my sister’s bedroom and my bedroom.

In my bedroom I have:

·  My own computer

·  Wardrobe - to hang my clothes in

·  Cupboards with drawers

·  Cupboards for all my toys.

·  Bookcase for my books.

·  My bed is high up as I have my desk under it and my computer.

·  Telly.

OUTSIDE MY HOUSE

In the garden there is a swing and a lawn (an area of grass) for me to play football on and to ride my bike. Mum likes to grow vegetables in the garden and plant flowers. At the bottom of my garden is a river.
