OUR SITTINGROOM
Let’s have a look at this picture of our sittingroom. As you
come into the room you notice a piano with a low musicstool in
front of it. Next to the piano is a tall
bookcase standing against
the wall. On the left is a large window. Under the window there’s
a radiator, but, you can’t see it because it’s behind the settee.
On the settee there are two cushions. The fireplace is at the
other end of the room. On each side of the fireplace there’s an
armchair. An old lady is
sitting in one of the chairs, but nobody’s
sitting in the other one: it’s empty.

In the centre of the mantelpiece there’s a clock and above it
an oval mirror. On the right you can see a standard lamp. Oppo
site the fireplace you can see a small table with an ashtray and
some newspapers on it. By the table there’s a small chair. On the
extreme right there’s a radioset.
The floor is covered with a
beautiful thick carpet. An electric light is hanging from the
middle of the ceiling. At night when it gets dark we switch on
the light and draw the curtains:
During the day, the light comes
in through the window.
