Dear, Mary
I live in a…, a small village. My family has a large house with
four rooms and a small garden. I like my house and my bedroom, too.

From my bedroom window I can see a big field with green trees, a lot
of beautiful flowers. I don…t live far from my school so I can walk
with my friends.
In my neighborhood, there is a big pond. In the afternoon, my friends
and I often go swimming there. We usually ride buffaloes and cows
along it. But the things we like best is to play some games such as:
blindman …s bluff, soccer, marbles….with the children in the village.
Is there any interesting thing in the place where you live? Write to
me. I…d like to
say goodbye now. I…m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Love.
Rose
