I’m so pleased you can come surfing in August! Paul, Rose and Kevin are coming too, so there will be five
of us. We’ve decided to return to New Sands for a couple of days, because the surfboards hire is so
cheap there.
I’m starting to think about accommodation. We won’t camp again after last year! I hated staying in a tent
in all that rain!
Kevin wants to hire a caravan. There are some nice ones with 3 bedrooms, showers and cooking facilities.
The problem is, none of the caravan parks take short bookings in the summer. The minimum stay is a
week. It’s a shame because there are several nice parks near the beach.

Pavilion ...

A. costs too much B. has no rooms available C.does not have a swimming-pool

There’s a hostel for young people in New Sands. It’s the cheapest option after camping, and
there’s a big kitchen and dining room where we can cook. The problem is, accommodation is in
dormitories and I don’t really want to sleep with strangers.
There are a few guest houses in New Sands. Some have triple rooms, so we only need to book
two rooms. We’ll have to book soon if we choose that option, because many guest houses are
already full. The hotels in New Sands are too expensive, although I’d love to stay at the Sunrise
Pavilion with its large pool!

The final option is to rent a cottage. I found one. It has three bedrooms – a double,
a single and a twin, so two of us would have to share a bed! There’s a big kitchen
diner with a microwave, washing machine and dishwasher. The living room has a
TV and DVD player. There’s just one bathroom, but there’s a separate WC. There’s
a nice garden too. The problem is, it’s 5 miles from the beach.
Let me know which option you prefer.
Cheers,
Natalie

 Introduce about your house in about 100 - 120 words using these suggestions

Sample
Currently, I have just moved to the city to pursue my dream at
university, but I still like talking about my house in the
countryside. It is peaceful, fresh and especially has my beloved
parents. It is just a small house with 3 bedrooms, a kitchen, a
big yard and a very green garden with a lot of plants grown by
my grandmother. Because it is near the rice fields, thus in the
harvesting time, I can admire the stunning golden rice heaven
every day. When the crop is green, I'd like to ride my bike
throughout the field and inhale the fresh air. That's really
amazing & I love it.
