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.
