My Lovely House

I live with my parents and two brothers in a nice little house on the suburban area of Bogor. I really
love our house. It’s not large, but very shasy and pretty since my parents grow many fruits and
flowers in a yard.

My house is a two-storey building. It has living room, a family room, and a large kitchen on the first
floor. All bedrooms are located on the second floor. There is also another family room on the second
floor. Wespend our time together there every evening.

My favourite room in the house is the kitchen. It is a very clean and everything is arranged nicely. As
you enter the kitchen, you will see a table in front of you. It is on the right side of the room. Behind
the table is a window. On the window shelf, there is a plant and a candle. On the left side of the
room, there is a sink, refrierator, and cabinets. There is a long counter and beautiful bouquet of
flowers.

Besides the kitchen, I also like my bedroom. But unlike the kitchen, my bedroom is quite messy. I like
it because I can do a lot of things there.

Bonny is a male dog. He is a Pomeranian dog and is about two years old. My dog is great. He has
grayish- white fur, small ears, and a cone-shaped mouth. His paws are strong.

Well, my dear Bonny is a clever dog. He always barks loudly and noisily when there is a stranger
coming to my house. You know what? He also can do many things such as sitting down quietly,
bringing the newspaper to me, standing on his two hind feet, and shaking my hand.

I always take him to a grooming salon twice in a month to have him bathed and to trim his fur
