Duru's message to her friend Aslı

Hi Aslı! It's a busy Saturday morning in our house. I'm in my room now, and I'm tidying up my wardrobe. Mum is downstairs. She's ironing clothes in the room with the washing machine. Dad is preparing breakfast next to the fridge and the cooker. My brother Ege isn't in his room. He's lying on the sofa and watching TV. Grandma is visiting us today. She's setting the table in the room next to the kitchen.
