My dream house
I want to live in a house which is made of glass. It looks like a bottle. What’s more, it can float on the ocean. The reason why I want to live in glass house is that I can see beautiful scenery as well as all kinds of fish. In addition, I can travel around the world.
I hope that my dream house has two floors. On the first floor, there is a telescope that is used to look at the sky; on the second floor, which is under the water, I can watch all kinds of fish. In a nutshell, I love my dream house, which is full of love and colorful life.
