Cassandra’s New House

Cassandra’s parents have bought a new house on the hill. They

chose this location because they wanted to escape the noise and

pollution of the city. The only problem is that they are now quite
far away from Cassandra’s school. However, Cassandra does not

mind taking the bus, because she loves the new house! Her room
is huge, with a big bed and a sofa. She has put up pink and white

curtains on her window that overlooks the stunning view of the hills

and trees. She also loves the fact that there is a big garden behind
the house. She can go there and enjoy reading a book on a sunny

day. She can also invite her friends to play in the garden.

Cassandra’s favourite place in the house is the attic. She will be able
to store all her old stuff up there. What a lovely house, Cassandra!
