Solution
My Favourite Place
My favourite place is my grandparents’ house. It is located in a village. It only has five rooms, but it is very well constructed.
The walls of the house are painted white, and from inside, it is very colorful. My grandfather personally took part in building this house, and he made this house with so much love.
This house also has a backyard where my grandma grows fruits and vegetables. I have always been more excited to spend my summer holidays at this place.
I spend all my summers there, and that is the best time of my life. I play in the yard, climb the trees to pick fresh fruits, and eat fresh vegetables. I also help my grandma plant seeds in the garden.
Indeed, I enjoy a lot being at my grandparents’ place, so this has to be my favourite place.
