Reading: Moving House

15 Points

Hi Rebekkah

How are you? I'm writing to say hello to you from Armando and Sabrina. Do you know they have moved house? They live in a village now. They moved in April so they've lived there for about a month.

Alex and I visited them last weekend, but we got lost on the way! Armando gave Alex some directions, but he didn't listen very carefully and also it was quite foggy. I think Alex turned left in front of the police station when we needed to turn left opposite the church. We found the house using the map app on my phone but we arrived 25 minutes late for dinner.

Anyway, Sabrina cooked a delicious meal. There was pasta with seafood and then ice cream for dessert. And to celebrate Armando getting a new job, we took a big cake to eat together. He was really happy because it was his favourite – chocolate.

And let me tell you about the house. It's bigger than the old house, but it's also warmer because the central heating is better. Armando showed us upstairs. There are five bedrooms and four bathrooms and a study with a lot of shelves for all Armando's books. Downstairs, the living room has luxurious white carpet and comfortable brown sofas. We ate dinner in the dining room where there's a lovely fireplace with a beautiful mirror on the wall above it. I've shared some photos on social media if you want to look.

We had a good time together, but Sabrina is sad that Armando is going to travel a lot for work and she's bored when he is away. I'm going to have a coffee with her on Friday next week. Are you free? Would you like to come?
