Hi everybody!

My name's Andy. I live in a flat in New York. My flat is big and confortable, and it's on the first floor of the building.

In my flat, I have got three bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen and a living-room.

My family and I normally have lunch in the living-room because we have chairs and a table there. There is also a sofa, a cupboard and, of course, a TV.

As for my room, it has a big desk to do my homework, a swivel chair, a bed and a wardrobe. My room's curtains are red and my bed's cover is red too. I love red!

See you soon!
