Get Smart Plus 3, p. 51.

Writing model: Sue's house (p. 51)

I live in a big house. The kitchen, the living room and the bathroom are downstairs. There are three bedrooms upstairs. My favourite room is my bedroom. It has got pink walls. There are three flowers on the wall. There's a big window next to my bed. I love my bedroom!

Plan your own paragraph with Sue's questions:

Is your house big or small?
Name the rooms of your house.
What's your favourite room?
What is / are there in your favourite room?

Writing tip: Adjectives go before nouns. I live in a big house. It has got pink walls.

Adjectives (describing words like big, small, pink, new) go before nouns: a big house, pink walls, my new house.

Not "a house big" or "walls pink". The describing word comes first.

Put the words in order: a / live / I / small / in / house

Show answerHide answer

I live in a small house.
