table or a book case.
Rafael I live in my dream home, too. It’s near the beach. It’s a very large house with a big
yard. It has four bedrooms and four bathrooms. There is a dining room with a big table and
eight chairs. I have a large living room with two sofas and several armchairs. I have a big TV,
