Explanation

Many families in Egypt live in an apartment. An apartment has different rooms. In the living room we relax: there is an armchair, cushions and a television. In the bedroom we sleep: there is a bed and a wardrobe. In the kitchen we cook: there is an oven and a table. In the bathroom there is a shower. Some apartments have a balcony and a lift. We say: There is a … in the … . There are two … in the … . Read the table.

Worked examples
Yara

Welcome to our new apartment! We live on the fifth floor.

Adel

Do you take the lift?

Yara

Yes, we do. Come in. This is the living room, and this is my bedroom.

Adel

Wow! I like your balcony. It is lovely.

Listen. Yara shows her cousin Adel her new apartment.

Our new apartment is on the fifth floor, and we take the lift every day. There are two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. In the living room there is a soft armchair and two blue cushions. My bedroom is small, but it has a big window. From the balcony I can see the street and a small park. I love my new home.
