Dear Tracy,
Thanks for your letter. I’m glad you’ve got your own bedroom and a study now. I like my home very much. It is a small but cosy flat. I share a room with my brother, and we have a desk, a wardrobe and a bookcase there. My favourite place is my room because I can study and relax there. If I designed an ideal house, it would be bright, spacious and comfortable, with a big kitchen, a study and a garden.
Write back soon.
Love,Anna
