My neighbours
I live in Park Avenue. My house is very small. The big house opposite my house belongs to Mr Smith. He is my neighbour. He is very rich. He is married. His wife's name is Monica. She is very beautiful. Monica's eyes are blue and her hair is golden.
Mr and Mrs Smith have two children, a boy and a girl. Their names are Bill and Jill. Bill is 10 years old. He is tall and thin. His hair is black. Bill's teacher says: 'Bill is a rebel.' His sister is different. She is 12 years old and she is like her mother. Jill's eyes are also blue and her hair is golden. Jill is a very good student.
Now the Smiths are in the garden. It's a beautiful summer day. It's hot and sunny. Mr Smith is in the swimming pool. His wife and their children are on the grass. They are all happy.
