Dear Kitty,
      News! We have a new flat! The rooms are small, but they are comfortable. There are more rooms
here than in our old flat. This is good because now I have my own room. In the old flat, I shared with
my sister.
     My bedroom is my favourite room in our flat. I can be alone in it. I can read or draw. I can listen to
my radio or play CDs. I can play games on my computer and send e-mails to my friends.
     My second favorite room is the kitchen. I love helping my mother cook our meals. She is a very good
cook. She is teaching me how to make many different kinds of dishes. She lived in Morocco when she
was a girl, and she can cook Moroccan food. It's very delicious. That's all for now. Write soon and tell
me about your home. Please get on the Internet so that we can send e-mails to each other.
