[00:19.23]She lives in Nigeria. [00:22.23]In her letter, she said that she would come to England next year. [00:28.38]If she comes, she will get a surprise. [00:32.58]We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country. [00:37.85]Work on it had begun before my sister left. [00:42.58]The house was completed five months ago. [00:46.50]In my letter, I told her that she could stay with us. [00:51.52]The house has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden. [00:57.35]It is a very modern house, so it looks strange to some people. [01:03.69]It must be the only modern house in the district.
