Dear Leo, I`m writing to tell you about my new house. It`s the biggest house I`ve ever lived in, but also the most expensive. Still, it`s much nicer than my last house. Although the garden is a little smaller, the rooms are much more spacious and there is much less noise. The area I live in now is the most peaceful place I`ve ever lived in. The neighbours are quieter here than anywere else, and they are the most friendly / friendliest people you will ever meet. There are lots of flowers here, so it`s much more colourful than my previous home, and there is a bus stop near my house, so it`s more convenient than before because I don`t have to take my car to work. All in all, I can say that finding this house is the best thing that`s ever happened to me! I hope you will visit me here soon.
