GUIDE NUMBER 4

MY HOUSE
READING

Dream House!
My dream house has lots of rooms and windows. It has a big red front door. There is a huge living room with
comfortable sofas and enormous TV screen on the wall for my family and I to spend time together.

In the basement, there is a giant game room with a ping-pong table and drum set for me and my friends. It has
a fridge for drinks and snacks.

There are extra bedrooms so my friends can spend the night. My bedroom is blue with lots of shelves for my
toy car collection. There are lots of posters of my favorite actors and singers, but they are big electronic
screens so they can change all the time! There is also a brand new computer, a sound system and a telescope
because I love astronomy! My bed is special! You climb a tall ladder to get it, I sleep under a window, and I can
see the stars at night!

Outside my dream house, there is giant swimming pool with water and field nearby for a beautiful black horse
