Read the passage and answer the question.
I live in a house near the
sea. It is an old house, about 20 years old, and it is not very large. There
are two bedrooms upstairs but no bathroom. The bathroom is downstairs next to
the kitchen and there is a living room where there is a lovely old fireplace.
There is a garden goes down to the beach and in spring and summer there are
flowers everywhere. I live alone with my dog, Boxer but we have many visitors.
Many of my friends work in the city, so they often stay with me because they
