I had a letter from my sister yesterday. She lives in Nigeria. On her letter, she said that

she would come to England next year. If she comes, she will get a surprise. We are now

living in a beautiful new house in the country. Work on it had begun since my sister left.

The house was completed five months ago. On my letter, I told her that she could stay

with us. The house has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden. It is a very modern

house so its looks strange to some people. It must be the only modern house in the

district.
