Original:

I invited my friends who is a blind woman to visit my house.  She like cooking so firstly I take her to visit the kitchen.   There are a lot of cupboards in the kitchen, I think they are very useful.   The cupboards and drawers are brown and they are made of wood. On my right this is the mixer, it’s yellow and it’s a medium machine it can help us to mix something.  Next is the oven for cooking, on the oven there’s a lot of pots and pans.  Above the oven there’s a microwave, although the microwave is not healthy we always use it.  There’s an oven fan below/built in the bottom of it.

There’s a lot of things on the counter, such as knife block, including knives and scissors.  There are a lot of bottles next to the sink.  The sink is near the windows, there is a plant behind the sink.  On the left there’s a toaster on the counter.  It’s black and is very small.  We always use it to toast bread.

There’s a clock above the window, it can makes us clearly know how many times we cooked.  There is a kitchen island, there are eggs, bowls, bottles and cakes.  Do you want to eat a cake?

Upgrade:

I invited my friend, who is a blind woman, to visit my house.  She likes cooking very much, and she wants to visit the kitchen first.   Once we were in the kitchen, I described what it looks like to her.  The kitchen is large, clean, and bright.  There are a lot of cupboards in the kitchen, I think they are very useful and can hold a lot of things.  In the upper cupboards we keep food, in the lower cupboards we store the cooking equipment.   The kitchen has several drawers; we store the kitchen utensils in them.  The cupboards and drawers are brown and they are made of wood.

On my right there is a mixer, it’s yellow and it’s medium size and it can help us to mix ingredients.  Next there is an oven for cooking, on the oven there’s a lot of pots and pans.  Above the oven there’s a microwave, although the microwave is not healthy we always use it.  There’s an oven fan built in the bottom of it.

There’s a great deal of things on the counter, such as knife block, including knives and scissors.  There are several bottles next to the sink.  The sink is near the windows, and there is a plant behind the sink.  On the left there’s a toaster on the counter, it’s black and small.  We often use it to toast bread for breakfast.

There’s a white clock above the window, it clearly shows us what time it is.  There is a kitchen island, on the island there are eggs, bowls, bottles, cakes, and quite a few other things.  Do you want to eat a cake?  They’re very nice, I cooked them this morning.
