Dear alex, i am writing to tell you about my new house. it is so wonderful! i live on the outskirts of the town and it is far from the centre. it is two-storeyed building, surrounded by trees and flowers. it has all modern conveniences: central heating, gas, electricity, cold and hot water. my home is a place where i can relax, and i come back with pleasure. there are three rooms on the ground floor: a kitchen, a living-room and a hall. the living-room is the largest and most comfortable room. there is a large window, a tv set, a sofa, two armchairs and a fireplace. my father likes playing the guitar here. it is very cozy room where all my family likes to spend time. on the first floor there are four rooms: a bathroom and three bedrooms. my room is not small or large. there is everything what i need: a bed, a wardrobe, a mirror, an armchair and a table with my computer. also there is a big aquarium in the corner of the room. now i`d like to say that there is no place like home. and i`d like to invite you to my house. i am sure that you will like it as well. it is a place you want to stay and want to return to. alex, please, pay attention to my new address: 8 mostovaya st,   moscow, 99703, russia i am waiting for you! best wishes, diana
