I live _in_a small house with my husband. We've lived here for nearly a year. It_isn't_ours, we're renting_it. It's got two small bedrooms, a lovely green kitchen, a nice bathroom_and_a big living-room. We_use the_other bedroom_as_a study.
There wasn't_anything here when we moved_in. There were no curtains, there was no furniture, there weren't_even_any light bulbs - nothing_at all! It was completely empty so we had to buy_everything. It hasn't been_easy. Now, it's full of_our things. We've got_a sofa and_an_armchair_in front_of the TV, and there_are lots_of books_on the shelves. There's_a big plant_in the corner behind the TV. I love plants, they bring life_into a house. On the wall_above the sofa there_are some photos_of_our wedding. It's_our first home_and we love_it. When we have children we'd like to move to a flat. I think_it's safer. There's_a lot_of violence here.
