My Ideal Home
I would like to live in the country/city/town. My
favourite type of the house is a block of flats/a
detached house/a semi-detached house/a terraced
house/a bungalow/a cottage/ a house in the tree/
the bottle house/the balancing barn/the house in
the sea/pineapple house/house in the clouds.
There are two floors in my house: the ground floor and
the first floor. There is a living-room, a bedroom (two
bedrooms), a kitchen and a bathroom (two
bathrooms) in my house. There is central heating,
cold and hot water, conditioning, a lift (in a block
of flats) there. There is a garage and a garden next to
the house. I think this house is an ideal house.
