Mi casa (My house)

MCER A189 palabras

My family lives in a small flat in Valencia. There are four people in my house: my mother, my father, my brother and me.

Our flat has three rooms and a long balcony. My brother's room is very small, but he is happy, because his window looks at the sea.

There is no garden, but there are a lot of plants on the balcony. My mother waters them in the morning, and my father cooks there in summer.

I like my house. It is small, but it is ours.
