What is your house like?

What is your house like? Is it big, small, or pretty? How many rooms does it have? That was the assignment which I had for one of my classes this week. I had to give a 7 minute description of the house I'm living in Costa Rica. I did it. After the 5 of us in the class finished our individual presentations, we found out that it was part of our test. This probably doesn't sound like too hard of an assignment until you think of going through your house describing it using the new vocabulary which you are learning, have learned.
