Student-written Narrative
Voici Ma Maison
Voici ma maison. Elle est immense, élégante,
et vielle. Elle n’est ni petite, ni ordinaire.
C’est 150 chambres. Il y a beaucoup de fleur et arbre dans
le jardin. La salle à manger est très grande, et très élégante.
Le chambre à coucher est très grande, et très élégante
aussi. Le jardin est très grand et très beau.
Voici ma maison. Elle est
en Martinique. Ma maison
est très petite et un peu
moche. Elle a 1 pièce. Ma
maison n’est pas
magnifique, charmante,
élégante, et grande. Elle
n’a pas de salle à manger,
de cuisine, ni de salle de
séjour. Il y a des toilettes
derrière ma maison. La
maison n’a pas de jardin,
ni une terrasse. Ma
chambre est très petite, et
moche. Ma maison a 1
chambre. Finalement, il
n’y a pas d’arbres derrière
la maison, mais près de
ma maison il y a une
océan immense!
