[00:10.03]Why is the new house special?
[00:14.79]I had a letter from my sister yesterday.
[00:18.73]She lives in Nigeria.
[00:21.73]In her letter, 
[00:23.24]she said that she would come to England next year.
[00:27.88]If she comes, 
[00:29.46]she will get a surprise.
[00:32.08]We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country.
[00:37.35]Work on it had begun before my sister left.
[00:42.08]The house was completed five months ago.
[00:46.00]In my letter,
[00:47.51] I told her that she could stay with us.
[00:51.02]The house has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden.
[00:56.85]It is a very modern house, 
[00:59.61]so it looks strange to some people.
[01:03.19]It must be the only modern house in the district.
