Title: My Cozy Living Room

In my house, the living room is where we all gather to relax. It has soft, blue sofas that are very comfortable. There is a small, round coffee table in the middle of the room. We use it to hold our drinks and snacks when we watch TV. The television is on a large wooden stand against the wall. On the walls, there are several pictures of my family. We have a big window that lets in the sunlight during the day. In the evening, we turn on the lamps to make the room bright. I love spending time in my living room because it feels warm and welcoming.

This paragraph uses repetitive structure and common vocabulary to help reinforce pronunciation. Encourage the learner to focus on intonation and stress patterns in phrases like “soft, blue sofas” and “big window that lets in the sunlight,” which are typical descriptors in everyday English. They can practice reading it aloud multiple times to get comfortable with the flow and pronunciation of the sentences.
