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
Homework: Rewrite a letter to your friends.
