READING
IV. Read the text and answer the following questions.
This is my house
Hello! My name is Bob and I live in a very quiet and
silent neighborhood where there are many big houses
and some apartment buildings, the streets are clean and
spacious, near my house there are some public parks,
and there is a university too. Across from the university
there is a gym.
In my neighborhood some houses are really beautiful
and have swimming pools, but my house doesn’t have
one. It has two floors-a first floor and a second floor. It
has also an attic and a basement. On the first floor there
is the hall, the kitchen, the living room, a big dining room and a toilet.
On the second floor there are three bedrooms, one bathroom and a big corridor. My
bedroom is between my parents’ bedroom and the bathroom. My sister´s bedroom is in
front of mine. My favorite place in the house is my bedroom because I can do a lot of
things there but also I like the attic. In the attic I have some books and my old toys and I
love spending time in there in summer because it is very fresh and there is a comfortable
sofa there where I sometimes take a nap.
In the basement is where we have the washing machine, the drying machine and old stuff.
In front of the house there is also a garage, where my parents park the family car and a
lovely garden with many green spaces and colorful flowers.
Example: What is the name of the man? Bob
1. What public places are in his neighborhood?
2. Where is the living room?
3. Where is his bedroom?
4. Why does he like to be in the attic?
5. What furniture can you find in the basement?
