La mia casa

My home
Ciao, mi chiamo Michela. Vivo con la mia famiglia in periferia in un condominio di tre piani senza ascensore. Il nostro appartamento è abbastanza grande: ci sono tre stanze, la cucina e il bagno. Entrando, c'è un corridoio, a destra c'è un soggiorno ampio e luminoso con un lungo balcone e a sinistra c'è la cucina. Accanto alla cucina c'è la camera matrimoniale e a sinistra la cameretta dei bambini. In fondo al corridoio ci sono il bagno e un ripostiglio. Abbiamo anche una piccola cantina. Non abbiamo il garage ma non importa perché non abbiamo la macchina.

Hi, my name is Michela. I live with my family in the suburbs in a three-story apartment building with no elevator. Our apartment is quite big: there are three rooms, the kitchen and the bathroom. As you enter, there is a hallway, to the right is a large and bright living room with a long balcony, and to the left is the kitchen. Next to the kitchen is the master bedroom and to the left is the children's bedroom. Down the hall is the bathroom and a storage room. We also have a small cellar. We don't have a garage but it doesn't matter because we don't have a car.
