Hi, Rosy
We’ve finally moved into our new house! It’s really quiet and 1_______________ here because our new place is a farmhouse in the countryside. My bedroom is small and a bit 2_______________, but from my window I can see horses in a field! There are six bedrooms on three floors, so you have to climb a lot of stairs!
The house has a really big garden with a green lawn, a stone 3_______________ and a small pond with fish in it. There’s also a hedge around the garden, so it’s very private.
The house is old, but it was beautifully 4_______________ a few years ago and it’s very modern inside. There are even 5_______________ on the roof for electricity.
My favourite room is the living room. It will be very cosy in the winter when we light the fire.
In the hall, there are big metal 6_______________ where we can leave our coats and a long wooden shelf for all our books.
Anyway, I must go now. I’m still tidying my room, and it looks a mess!

A Hardy’s Cottage
The English writer Thomas Hardy was born in a cottage in the south of England. It is a charming place in some woods, but when Hardy lived here in the 1800s, he found it very cramped. Six members of his family lived there, and he started writing books in a bedroom
he shared with his brother. When he became famous and had more money, he moved to a bigger house in a nearby town, with its own porch and a big garden. It was more spacious,
but also noisier. You can visit both these houses today.
B Charles Dickens’ birthplace
Charles Dickens is famous for his stories about Victorian London, but he was born on the south coast of England in 1812. You can visit the small terraced house where he lived in the town of Portsmouth today. It has a little front garden and shutters on its windows. If you could go back in time, you would see the same furniture in the dining room that you can see now. Unfortunately, Dickens’ father didn’t stay in Portsmouth. He moved to London and lost all his money. Dickens had to leave school and work in the terrible factories that he later wrote about in his books.
C Handel and Hendrix’s house
23–25 Brook Street, London, is the address of two terraced houses above a shop. They are unusual because they were the homes of two very different musicians in different centuries.
In 1723, the German musician George Handel lived at number 25. The house was near the theatres and concert halls where he worked. It was a tall house, full of Handel’s possessions, including his musical instruments and his paintings. The house has been renovated since this time, but you can still visit it today. 23 Brook Street is the much smaller flat where famous rock guitar player Jimi Hendrix lived in the 1960s. It is less impressive than Handel’s house, but it still has his big double bed and colourful cushions and curtains.
D John Lennon’s house
John Lennon was a singer in one of the most famous bands in the world, the Beatles. You can visit the house where he lived in the north of England with his aunt from the age of five until he was twenty-three. It is a semi-detached house with a small porch and garden. John’s wife, Yoko Ono, gave the house to the National Trust in 2002 and it is now open to the public. You can even see John’s bedroom, where the Beatles wrote their first famous song. It has not changed at all. If John were alive today, he would be amazed to see how popular his old house has become.
If you visit this place, you will
learn how a musician lived in the 18th century.
see where a writer lived before his life became very difficult.
compare a writer’s earlier life with his later life.
see a room where a famous song was written.
see a pop singer’s home when he was young.
