We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning. I have been trying to get my new room in order. This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books. To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor. At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room. A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs. She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor. this is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen. she said. She gazed at it for some time then added. you don’t need bookcases at all, you can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!

My friend Hugh,has always been fat ,but things got so bad recently that he decided to go on a diet. He began his diet a week ago. First of all,he wrote out a long list of all the foods which were forbidden.The list included most of the things Hugh loves:butter,potatoes,rice,beer,milk,chocolate,and sweets. Yesterday I paid him a visit.I rang the bell and was not surprised to see that Hugh was still as fat as ever. He led me into his room and hurriedly hid a large parcel under his desk. It was obvious that he was very embarrassed. When I asked him what he was doing,he smiled guiltily and then put parcel on the desk. He expained that his diet was so strict that he had to reward himself occasionally. Then he showed me the contents of the parcel. It contained five large bars of choclate and three bags of sweets!

I love travelling in the country but I don’t like losing my way. I went on a excurtion recently ,but my trip took me longer than I expected.

I am going to Woodford GreenI said to the conductor as I went on the bus.but I don’t know where it is.

I will tell you where to get off.answered the conductor.

I sat in the front of the bus in order to take a good view of the countryside. After some time ,the bus stopped. Looking round with a shock,I was the only passenger on the bus.
