Hi, I'm Jackie. These days, my friends are talking about their own dream(理想的) houses. What about mine? My dream house has two gardens(花园). The front garden is big and has many flowers and trees. I can take a walk in it. There is a swimming pool (游泳池) in the back garden. I can swim there at any time.
My dream house has two floors. On the ground floor (首层), there is a small hall(厅). You can see it after you walk past the front door. On the right of the hall is a wonderful living room. It looks very big. There I can talk with friends, watch TV and even have a big party. On the left, there is a computer room. The computer room is my favourite. I love computer games. I play them very well. There is also a dining room and a kitchen on the ground floor. On the first floor, there are six bedrooms, and each has a bathroom. When my friends stay with me, they can have a bath in their own rooms. There is a big bed in each bedroom. So we can have a good sleep. Well, that is my dream house. Don't you think it's wonderful?
I live in a big city. I love my house because it is in a very good place just outside of the city. It is very quiet here. The houses here are all big and beautiful.
There are no houses on the left or behind my house. To the right of my house is a big bungalow. There is a small park across the street. When I want to walk or relax, I usually go there.
I am happy with my neighborhood except for one thing: There is no hospital near my house. That sometimes causes problems for the people living here. I think there should be a hospital in my neighborhood. Two days ago, one of my neighbors had a high fever and we had to travel 30 kilometers to the nearest hospital.
I like to meet new people and make friends with them. I feel very happy because there is a club in the neighborhood. It is a great place to meet and know new people.
Which of the following shows where the writer's house is?
