My name is Claire. I live in a very small house in a town called Kingston.
I love to visit Highgrove Road. This road has a lot of big houses on it, some even look like palaces. Highgrove Road is next to the beach. I like to sit on the beach and imagine (想象) what these houses look like inside.
My favourite house is a pink house at the end of the road. In my dreams this house has four sitting rooms and two dining rooms, all on the ground floor. One dining room is for the family and the other one is for friends. It has a really big kitchen next to the dining room. The house has a bathroom with a toilet, a sink（水槽）, a bath and a shower. The house is very tidy（整洁的） and very quiet. Sometimes you can hear the sound of the sea or the sound of the rain on the roof (房顶), if it rains. In front of the house, there is a big garden with a swimming pool. It is the biggest swimming pool in the whole town. A friendly family live in this house and they often invite friends over to use their swimming pool.
My dream is to live in a house just like this. My mother thinks I should stop dreaming and start studying for my exams!
