Dear grandma,
I’m so happy to tell you that I like our new flat so much. It is bigger and cosier than our old flat.
Besides, there are four rooms in our new flat.
One of them is mine! Isn’t it great? Unfortunately,
I didn’t have my own room in the old flat. Now I spend most of my free time in this room drawing.
You know, granny, that painting is my greatest hobby. So I draw many pictures and put them on the walls of my room. There are pictures of our new house and flat too. It’s a real display, my mum says. I am sending you the picture of my room. Write back and say if you like it.
Yours, Kate
