A Tour of My House
Welcome to my house! Let me take you on a little tour.
First, we enter the living room. It’s cozy and bright, with a large gray sofa, a wooden coffee table, and a TV mounted on the wall. There are also some family photos and a small bookshelf with my favorite novels. A green rug covers the floor, and a few indoor plants make the room feel fresh.
Next is the kitchen, which is connected to the dining area. In the kitchen, you’ll find a fridge, microwave, stove, and a set of white cabinets. My favorite part is the small spice rack near the window. The dining table is made of wood and has four matching chairs.
Now, let’s go to my bedroom. It’s a peaceful place where I can relax. I have a single bed with blue sheets, a study desk with a lamp, and a closet for my clothes. On the wall, there are a few posters of my favorite bands. I love spending time here reading or listening to music.
Finally, there’s a small bathroom near the hallway. It has a shower, toilet, and a mirror above the sink. It's simple but clean.
Out of all the rooms, my bedroom is my favorite. It’s quiet and comfortable, and it’s the place where I feel most like myself.

Read the text House Cleaning Tips and answer the following questions based on the passage.
House Cleaning Tips
Keeping your house clean doesn’t have to be difficult. With the right tools and a simple routine, you can make cleaning easier and even more enjoyable.
First, gather your common cleaning supplies. These usually include a broom, mop, vacuum cleaner, microfiber cloths, sponges, and all-purpose cleaner. Having everything ready saves time and keeps you focused.
When it comes to cleaning the living room, it’s best to vacuum the floor at least twice a week, especially if you have pets or carpets. Don’t forget to dust surfaces like shelves, coffee tables, and electronics.
Windows can be cleaned using a glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth. It’s recommended to spray the cleaner directly on the cloth instead of the glass to avoid streaks. Clean in a circular motion for a shiny, streak-free finish.
Before you start deep cleaning, it's important to declutter each room. Removing unnecessary items helps you clean faster and makes your space look more organized. A tidy space feels more peaceful and is easier to maintain.
For the kitchen, wipe down the countertops daily and clean appliances like the microwave and fridge weekly. Always wash dishes right after meals to avoid a mess. Don’t forget to take out the trash regularly and sweep the floor every day if possible.
With these tips, your house will stay fresh, clean, and comfortable all week long!

Ruangan favorit saya di rumah adalah ruang tamu. Di sana ada sofa cokelat besar, meja kopi, televisi, dan rak buku.
