6.  When I was a child, my grandfather built me the most
wonderful tree house. It had wide pine floorboards, and the
walls were stained a rich walnut brown. One window faced
the house, where I could often see my mother cooking
dinner in the kitchen, and the other window faced the woods
behind our yard. When I lay on the floor of the tree house, I
could hear the wind rustling through the trees around me,
and I could smell the breeze, which changed with each
passing season. Even though my grandfather is no longer
around, I still think of him when I visit my parents’ house
and climb up to sit in my old tree house."

7. My lovely and sweet little house is the
most stunning place ever. I have live here
since I born. It is a small house but it is
warm and comfortable. You can hear the
parrots singing and eating their birdseed.
My house always smells like strawberries
because we use a lotion when we clean the
house.We painted it with brown beige and
brown. Everybody says that looks amazing
with those colors.

8. Some people say that it is hot inside the
house; however, I feel it warm. I know that
is not a big house, but I will not change it
for another one. I love this place and if I
have the opportunity to keep it when my
parents die, I would do it.
