Jane was an old woman. She was rich and lived in a big house. One morning, Jane opened the window and looked at her garden. The sun was shining brightly. “What a good day!” she said. Suddenly she saw a man eating grass in front of the garden of her house. She walked to the man and asked, “Why are you eating grass? Are you very hungry?” The man answered, “I have no money to buy any food. I haven’t had meals for days. I’m dying of hunger.” “Poor boy,” said Jane, “come to the back door.” Then she walked into the house again. “The rich lady will give me some food to eat. It’s so kind of her.” The man thought. But when he went into the house, Jane opened the back door and said to him, “The grass is taller behind the house.”

Hello, my name is Sandy. My dream house is on a beach. It has two gardens. The front garden is large with many beautiful flowers and trees. We can take a walk and enjoy the beautiful flowers in it. There is a swimming pool in the back garden. We can swim there at any time.
On the ground floor, there is a big hall. You can see it after you walk past the front door. On the right of the big hall is a wonderful living room. There we can chat with friends, have a good rest, watch TV and enjoy different kinds of entertainments  (娱乐). On the left, there is a computer room and a study. They are mine. I want to be a computer game designer, so the computer room is my favourite.
On the first floor, there are six bedrooms, and each has a modern bathroom. When my friends stay with me, they can have a bath in their own rooms. There is a big bed in each bedroom. So we can sleep comfortably.
Well, that is my dream house. Don't you think it's wonderful?
