Script

1.     This is a pretty big room, I think. The bed is in the corner, and there’s a small table next to the bed. There’s a lamp on the table. There’s a dresser, too, and two big bookcases.

2.     Now, I like this room. It’s nice and sunny. There’s a stove and a small refrigerator. The sink is next to the stove. There is one chair and a small table where you can eat. There’s a small TV on the table.

3.     Now, there’s this room. I know, this room is very small, but it’s okay. It has a shower and a toilet. There’s a sink, too, next to the toilet, but, as you can see, no bathtub.

4.     Isn’t this a nice room? It’s big. There’s a big old couch and two soft chairs. There’s a table next to the couch. And there’s a lamp on the table. But the best thing is there is a really big TV. This room is great!
