Read this postcard from Kirsten and answer all the questions. Awarded

Dear José,
I am having a wonderful time in the countryside. I am staying in a village with
my aunt and uncle for a week.

r
pe
Their house is small but I am staying in a big bedroom! There aren’t any
restaurants near here but my uncle always cooks nice meals for us. My aunt
has two dogs. There is a hill behind the house and I walk up the hill with the

Pa
dogs every day.
We visited a farm yesterday. My uncle drove us there in his new car. There
were cows, sheep and pigs. I didn’t like the cows because they were very big

e
and scary. I liked the pigs the best. They were friendly and funny.

See you soon!
