An event in the past

A MEMORABLE DAY I remember, my 12th -year-old birthday. It was a very memorable day.

 First, we finished the school at 5 o'clock and like some days, I went to Xènia's house. When I arrived to her home, there were my best friends at the door. I didn't expect it! They said “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”, I was very thrilled. Then, we made a big snack, with a chocolate cake, it was delicious! After that, we did our homework, and when we finished this, I went home.

 There were my best friends and our families. I remember the cat called Nino clearly because she was sleeping all the time. It was a really funny day and I felt very happy.

My ideal home

Here we are in my ideal home. It's a modern flat in New York. It's quite big and it's got everything. It's got three bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, an office, and a living room. The living room has got a small balcony and you can see Central Park from it.

On an ideal noon we're all here. My mum and I are eating in the kitchen. My brother is playing computer games. He's in the office. My dad is in the living room. He's sitting in the sofa.

My favorite room is the office. It's got a wide long table, a big computer and a lot of shelves. I like this room because I can be quiet and I can study very well.
