A. Read the following text.

   My name is Janet and this is my house. It is a lovely house in the suburbs of London. It has got two floors – a ground floor and a first floor.

   On the ground floor there is the kitchen, the dining room and the living room.

   On the second floor there is my bedroom, which you can see in the picture. I share my bedroom with my sister, Alice. There is also my parents’ bedroom, a guest room and the bathroom.

   My house has also got a garage where my parents park the family car, a swimming-pool and a small room where my parents keep some old stuff.
