Hi Peter,
How are you? I hope everything is OK. I’m enjoying my weekend because I haven’t got
any homework! How about you?
I want to tell you about my home. I live with my parents, my two sisters and our dog
in a modern house near the town centre. We’ve got five bedrooms, a bathroom, a living
room, a dining room and a kitchen. We’ve also got a big garden with a swimming pool.
I go swimming every day –in winter too!
My favourite room is the living room because it’s sunny. I always sit in my favourite
armchair near the window. I watch TV and DVDs in the living room, but I also have a TV
in my bedroom. I often watch it when I’m in bed.
Please write and tell me about your house. What’s your favourite room, and why?
