Writing a letter for your friend about a new house

Writing a letter for your friend about a new house NMkay

Dear Kate, We finally moved house last month and now life has changed. Everything is difference. My house is in Lang Son province. It is a two storey building with 4 bedrooms. There is a small garden with roses, a variety of vegetables, like cabbage, chili, ginger, garlic and some plants, like a star fruit tree, an apple tree… It is in a quiet and peaceful countryside. I can hear the birds singing and feel the fresh air, which I couldn’t have when I lived in my old flat. However, there aren’t markets, shops and school nearby. I haven’t met many neighbours here but the people living next door are friendly and helpful. They seem be rich. We are happy here, please come around and see us some day. You are always welcome. Love,
