Do you live in a big house? How many1does your house have? If you live in a big place with enough room （空间）,you're the2one. In China, many people don't have big houses to live in.
I have a penfriend in Anhui Province. His family live in a small house3only two rooms. The house is far away from his school. But he4to school every day because he has no bike. At home, he doesn't have his own5.The four members of his family sleep in the same room. They have no kitchen or dining room. He even（甚至）can't6a place to do his homework. And he7work for his family after school. His sister, a 15-year-old girl, has to8school because their family doesn't have enough money for two9schooling.
My penfriend is one of the millions of poor children in China. Those children need our help.10 can we help them? We can donate（捐赠）some money to Project Hope. They will help the poor children in many ways. It's always nice to help others, right?
My name is Claire. I live in a small house in a town called Kingston.
I love to visit Highgrove Road. This road has a lot of big houses, and some even look like palaces. Highgrove Road is next to a beach. I love to sit on the beach and dream 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 at least 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 rooms. The house has three bedrooms on the first floor and five bedrooms on the second floor. Each bedroom has a bathroom with a toilet, a sink, a bath and a shower. The house is very tidy and quiet. 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 lives 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!
