Dear Kitty,
Good news! We have a new flat! The rooms are small, but they are comfortable. There are more rooms here than in our old flat. This is good because now I have my own room. In the old flat, I share one with my sister.
My bedroom is my favourite room in our flat. I can be alone in it. I can read or draw. I can listen to my radio or play CDs. I can play games on my computer and send e-mails to my friends.
My second favourite room is the kitchen. I love helping my mother cook our meals. She is a very good cook. She teaches me how to make many different kinds of dishes. She lived in Morocco when she was a girl, so she can cook Moroccan food. It’s very delicious. That’s all for now. Write back soon and tell me about your home. Please get on the Internet so that we can send e-mails to each other.
All good wishes!
Anna
