TOM’S ROOM
I’m Andrew. I have an English friend. His name is Tom. I spent my last summer holidays at his place and I liked it a lot.
Tom’s family has a big one-storeyed house. There is a nice green garden around it. In the middle of the garden there are some flowerbeds with beautiful roses. English people are so fond of gardening, you know.
Every member of the family has his/her own room. Tom’s room is on the left. There is not much furniture in it: two beds, a writing table with a lamp on it and a bookcase full of books.
Tom is interested in sports. There are many pictures of famous English athletes on the walls of his room. He likes football and David Beckham is his favourite footballer.
There is a big poster with the athlete on the door of Tom’s room. Near the window there is a big football board game1 and we often played it in rainy weather. But when the weather was sunny we played football with Tom and his dad in the yard. As you see, there is much place to play everywhere. This is what I like most.
