Dear Annie,
I read your newspaper advice column every week. You always give really good
advice to people who need your help. Now, I have a problem, so I'm e-mail:
you for advice. My family and I live in a big, beautiful house in a great 1)
It's located outside the city, in a 2) xxx. There is a large, spacious* living room
with a nice view of our front yard. In our front yard, there is a garden and
tall pine tree. There are also lots of trees in our backyard. We really like our
kitchen with its modern 3) xxx. There are four bedrooms. There is also a 4)
where we can put things, like our bicycles. I started a new job last month, and
unfortunately now it takes me over 90 minutes to 5) xxx to work. As well as
oldest daughter just started college, and she also spends a lot of time on buses
every day. Annie, we love our home, but should we move into a much smaller
3-bedroom apartment closer to 6) xxx - to be closer to work and school?
Love,
Sarah
