My House

Nyumba Yangu

Nyumba yangu ni ndogo lakini safi na yenye mwanga. Ninaishi hapa na dada yangu. Kuna sebule, jikoni, chumba cha kulala, na bafu. Sebule ina meza ndogo, viti viwili, na mkeka mzuri. Kwenye ukuta kuna saa na picha ya familia. Dirisha lina pazia jeupe, hewa inaingia vizuri. Jikoni kuna jiko dogo, sufuria, na sahani safi. Napika chai asubuhi na kupika mchele jioni. Chumba cha kulala kina kitanda, shuka laini, na kabati dogo. Napenda kusoma vitabu kabla ya kulala. Nje ya mlango kuna bustani ndogo yenye maua ya rangi na mti mfupi. Nyumba yangu inanifanya nijisikie salama na mwenye furaha kila siku.

English Translation

My house is small but clean and full of light. I live here with my sister. There is a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The living room has a small table, two chairs, and a nice mat. On the wall there is a clock and a family picture. The window has a white curtain, and air comes in well. In the kitchen there is a small stove, pots, and clean plates. I make tea in the morning and cook rice in the evening. The bedroom has a bed, soft sheets, and a small closet. I like to read books before sleeping. Outside the door there is a small garden with colorful flowers and a short tree. My house makes me feel safe and happy every day.
