To: Karen
From: Kelly
Subject: My new house
How are you? I’m so excited about my new house and I can’t wait
for you to come and see it.
It’s in a quiet street opposite the park and it’s near my new school.
It’s very big with a huge garden and a garage. It’s got a large living
room, a modern kitchen and two bedrooms. My favourite room is my
bedroom. It’s got a large bed, a desk with my computer on it and a
huge wardrobe. I’ve got posters of my favourite bands on the walls.
Next Sunday is my birthday party. Do come.
Write soon,
Kelly
