Description of the kitchen in English with translation

Everyone spends their free time at home in different ways: someone likes to read books, sitting comfortably in an easy chair , someone rather goes to the computer, and someone goes to the kitchen and starts cooking. If you are the person for whom the kitchen is of great importance, then you have come to the right place. Join us, help yourself with cookies and taste aromatic tea. The boiling water has already arrived. nine0003

So, the description of the kitchen in English is a fairly popular and widespread topic. But at the same time, many people face numerous problems when they do not know which words and constructions to use in order to express themselves correctly.

Describing a kitchen will be useful in primary and secondary school, and even when taking an international test, because the topic “apartment” exists everywhere. When describing the kitchen, you will have to remember not only the name of kitchen furniture, cutlery, but also weights, food and appliances. nine0003

To describe the kitchen, younger students will need a short text that reveals vocabulary, as well as the location of furniture. The main emphasis is on the vocabulary that the child already owns. For example:

We live in a big house. There are 3 rooms in it such as living room, two bedrooms and a kitchen. The kitchen is very big. There is a window. There is a table and there are four chairs around it. There is a fridge near the wall. There is a microwave and a toaster on the table. Also we have a cooker and a sink in the kitchen. My mother likes cooking in the kitchen. I always help her. I like our kitchen. nine0003

Translation:

We live in a big house. It has 3 rooms: a living room, two bedrooms and a kitchen. The kitchen is very large. It has a window, a table and four chairs. There is a refrigerator against the wall. There is a microwave and a toaster on the table. In the kitchen we also have an oven and a sink. My mom loves to cook in the kitchen. I always help her. I like our cuisine.

Let’s highlight the words that are useful when describing the kitchen in English:

• fridge – refrigerator; nine0042 • freezer – freezer;
• garbage pail – garbage pail;
• mixer – mixer;
• cabinet – cabinet with drawers, glazed cabinet;
• paper towel holder (towel horse) – holder for towels;
• bread canister;
• kitchen counter;
• dishwasher – dishwasher;
• dishwashing liquid;
• faucet – water tap;
• kitchen sink – sink;
• dish towel – kitchen towel; nine0042 • spice rack – a shelf with spices;
• can opener;
• blender – blender;
• potholder;
• kettle – kettle;
• stove / cooker / range – kitchen stove;
• burner – gas burner;
• oven – oven;
• cutting board – board for cutting bread;
• cookbook – a cookbook;
• food processor;
• napkin – napkin.

In everyday life, a description of the kitchen is hardly needed. The main idea is the opportunity to express their own thoughts and understand what the interlocutor is saying. That is why the description of the kitchen is often only part of the text or some kind of introduction to the general conversation. In this case, it is important to increase vocabulary and skillfully use grammatical constructions. For example:

After my bedroom, kitchen is my favorite room in the house. We love gather here for dinner while talking, laughing and discussing different day-to-day things. So the kitchen seems to be the heart of out home and family. During daytime it is very bright with a lot of natural light. This room is full of personality and I consider it keeps up the feel of our family as soon as you enter the house. As for appliances, our kitchen is well-equipped. There is a microwave, stove, oven, fridge, electric kettle, dishwasher and coffeemaker. nine0003
Being a child I remember our kitchen was small and we were sitting around the table while grandmother was taking cinnamon buns from the oven. Now our cupboard space is not limited and we are lucky that we have a larder style cupboard under the stairs in the kitchen, so all tin goods are kept in there. Our spice rack has lots of various spices and herbs. My favorite part of the kitchen is a windowsill where I can sit and look at the awesome landscape changing every season.

Translation:

The kitchen is my favorite room in the house after the bedroom. We love to gather here for dinner while we talk, laugh and discuss various everyday topics. Therefore, it seems that the kitchen remains the heart of our home and family. During the daytime, it is very bright here due to the large amount of daylight. This room is full of personality and I find it maintains a sense of family as soon as you walk into the house. In terms of utensils, our kitchen is fully equipped. There is a microwave, oven, oven, refrigerator, electric kettle, dishwasher and coffee machine. nine0003

When I was a child, I remember that our kitchen was small and we sat around the table while grandma got cinnamon rolls out of the oven. Right now we have enough space in our cupboard for dishes, and we are happy that we have a cupboard-style pantry under the stairs in the kitchen, so all the cans are stored there. On the shelf with spices there are many different spices and herbs. My favorite part of the kitchen is the windowsill where I can sit and look at the amazing scenery that changes every season. nine0003

A text like this will help you talk about the kitchen and at the same time express your own emotions and feelings.

In addition, there are several idiomatic expressions associated with the kitchen, for example:

• hell’s kitchen – a place that is notorious;
• thieves’ kitchen – thieves’ den;
• everything but the kitchen sink – too many unnecessary things;
• out of the frying pan into the fire – from a bad situation to an even worse one;
• if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen – Someone who can’t stand the heat has nothing to do in the kitchen. The aphorism attributed to President G.
