Alright, let's work through Exercise 5 in a structured manner to describe your house or flat using "and" and "but". First, we will fill in the provided table with appropriate information about rooms, things in those rooms, and their conditions. Then, we will use this information to construct a detailed description.
#### Step 1: Filling in the Table
We need to list the rooms in your house or flat, items in each room, and the condition of each item. Here is an example:
| Rooms | Things | Old? New? Good? Bad? |
|-------------|--------------------------------|----------------------|
| Living room | sofa, TV, coffee table | new, good |
| Kitchen | fridge, oven, microwave | new, good |
| Bedroom | bed, closet, desk | old, bad |
| Bathroom | shower, toilet, sink | new, good |
#### Step 2: Writing the Description
Using the notes from the table, we will write a description of the house or flat, making sure to use "and" and "but."
1. Introduction to the Living Room
- The living room has a sofa, a TV, and a coffee table.
- These items are new and in good condition.
2. Description of the Kitchen
- The kitchen contains a fridge, an oven, and a microwave.
- All of these items are also new and in good condition.
3. Description of the Bedroom
- In the bedroom, there is a bed, a closet, and a desk.
- However, unlike the other rooms, these items are old and in bad condition.
4. Description of the Bathroom
- The bathroom includes a shower, a toilet, and a sink.
- These items are new and in good condition.
Now, let's combine these points into a cohesive text:
---
My house has a living room with a sofa, a TV, and a coffee table. It is new and good. The kitchen has a fridge, an oven, and a microwave. It is also new and good. In the bedroom, there is a bed, a closet, and a desk. However, it is old and bad. The bathroom includes a shower, a toilet, and a sink. It is new and good.

This description clearly outlines each room in your house or flat, lists the items within each room, and describes their conditions using "and" and "but" appropriately.
