"A Visit to My Sister's House"
Last weekend, I visited my sister’s house, and it was a delightful experience. Her house is located in a quiet neighborhood, surrounded by trees and flowers. As I walked up to her house, I noticed the large windows that let in a lot of natural light. The wooden door was beautifully crafted, giving the house a warm and welcoming feel.
Inside, the living room is the first room you see. It’s a spacious area with a big, comfortable sofa and a large TV on the wall. My sister loves to spend her evenings here, watching movies or reading books. There are also some beautiful paintings on the walls and a few plants that make the room feel fresh and lively.
Next to the living room is the kitchen. It’s a bright and modern space with white cabinets and a shiny stove. There’s a small dining table where she eats breakfast every morning. My sister loves cooking, so the kitchen is always full of delicious smells. She has a lot of utensils neatly organized in drawers and a big refrigerator to store all her ingredients.
There are two bedrooms in her house. One is hers, and the other is a guest room. Her bedroom is cozy, with a large bed covered in soft blankets and pillows. There’s a small nightstand with a lamp, and she has a big closet for all her clothes. The guest room is simple but comfortable, with a bed and a small table.
The bathroom is clean and bright. It has a sink, a toilet, and a shower. My sister keeps all her toiletries neatly arranged on shelves.
One of the best features of my sister’s house is the garden. It’s a small, peaceful space in the backyard. She has planted many flowers, and there are a few trees that provide shade. There’s a bench where she sits in the mornings, drinking her coffee and listening to the birds. The garden is her favorite place to relax and enjoy nature.
Visiting my sister’s house is always a pleasure. It’s a beautiful, comfortable place that reflects her personality perfectly. Every time I go there, I feel welcomed and at home.
