Advanced Practical Writing – “Your New House”

Directions:

Write an email to your friend about a new house you just bought. Include a

description of the house’s location, size, shape, etc. Try to write at least 4-5 sentences.

Example:

Hi Niko,

I just bought a new house! It is great. It is the house I have always

wanted, and now I finally have it. It is in Oak Park right beside the river. It is
2500 square feet. It has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It has a long
driveway and trees covering the front yard. I love it! Well, I hope you are doing
great. Talk to you later.

-Your friend, Jaime
