hello everybody!

Today I will be your tour guide during your White House visit

The White House is the place where all United States presidents have lived and worked since it has been built by John Adams, the second president of the United States, which construction began in seventeen ninety-two and ended eight years later in eighteen hundred.

Well now if you'll follow me, we'll start the tour.

The first room you will see is the entrance hall, which is the main and official entrance to the White House and is used to welcome guests such as politicians, singers and was once used as a dance hall.

To the right is the White House library, a less formal room where the president and first lady would hold small meetings or drink tea.

Most of the furniture you see dates from between eighteen hundred and eighteen thirty. The funny thing about this room is that until nineteen o two it was used as a laundry room, filled with buckets and basins. It wasn't until nineteen thirty-five that President Herbert Hoover turned the laundry room into the library that you see it.

Now I invite you to take the big staircase that will give us access to the first floor.

At the end of this hallway is one of the most important rooms, the White House State Dining Room, the largest of the two dining rooms on the main floor.

It is used for receptions and luncheons but also for larger official dinners called State dinners, given in honour of visiting foreign heads of government and it can accommodate about one hundred and forty people.

To conclude our visit, we will see the most famous room, the Oval Office. The Oval Office has become the place symbolizing the power of the President of the United States. The citizens of this country have developed an attachment to this place thanks to several images, including those of the young son of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy playing at the feet of his father or Richard Nixon talking on the phone with the astronauts of NASA missions. It is mainly used during televised speeches.

Well now that the visit is over, I invite you to go see our souvenir store with key chains of the White House for only twenty dollars or a small figurine of Joe Biden at an unbeatable price of fivetyfive dollars.
