Is it a dream?
Are you sitting at home at the moment? Is it
raining? Are you bored? Perhaps you would like
to be somewhere different, somewhere warmer,
more peaceful, more relaxing. Imagine a house
on the most beautiful white beach in the world.
The sun is shining and it is always hot. It never
rains. The sea and sky are always blue and you
can swim every day in clear, warm water. When
you swim, brightly coloured fish swim with
you. From your bedroom window you can see
green hills and forests. In the forests there are
rivers and beautiful waterfalls. Look carefully
and you can see an eagle in the sky. Listen and
you can hear the sound of insects. You can’t
hear the sound of cars and you can’t see any
supermarkets or busy shops. It’s perfect.
Is this a dream? No. It’s real. A holiday on the
tropical island of Carunda is the prize in our
new competition. You can win a holiday in a
dream house on this dream island every year
for ten years! Visitors to Carunda say it has the
best beaches, the most beautiful scenery and the
nicest people in the world! You can see if they
