    Now the housing price is very high. It is not easy for me to have my own house. But I still want to have one. My dream home must be very large. It has three floors. There is a garden, a swimming pool and a greenhouse in it. I would like my house to be like a palace, large and beautiful. I can live with my parents in the house. My father and mother live on the ground floor and I live on the first floor. There are at least (至少) thirty rooms in my house. I have my own bedroom and bathroom. I can see the pretty garden from my bedroom.

    There is a big living room on the ground floor and there is also a big hall. My favourite place is the garden. I can have a lovely dog in the garden. I can play with it when I am free. My friends and I can have parties at my home. We can have great fun. There are enough bedrooms for them to stay overnight.

    There are some advertisements(广告). Read them and answer the questions.

    London has a population of over 7, 000, 000. From about the year 1800 until World War Ⅱ, London was the biggest city in the world. But now there are many cities which are much bigger than it.

    London is famous for many things. Tourists (游客)coming from all over the world go to visit its famous buildings, for example, Big Ben. Like many other big cities, London has problems with traffic(交通 )and pollution(污染) which stop the city from developing. Over one million people use the London underground every day, but there are still too many cars on the streets. The air isn't clear, but it is anyhow cleaner than it was 100 years ago.

    For me, the best things about London are the parks. There are five in the city center. But my children's favorite place is Hamleys, the biggest toy shop in the world.

    My dream home is a house made of glass and it has a garden. It is not far from the sea. It is a smart house with a library. There are one million books in it! There is a big 3­D TV in the living room. How cool it is to watch my favourite films with it! It is never too cold or too hot in the rooms. When I walk into a room, the lights are turned on. The house can keep itself clean.

    There is a garden in front of the house. Many flowers are in it. And there is also a small lake behind the house. At weekends, I can watch the fish swim around or do some fishing by the lake.

    The house is far from the city centre, but there is a mini airport (机场) in it so I can fly to other places in my mini plane if I want to go shopping or do some other things. Does the house sound cool? Maybe in 20 years, my dream will come true.
