Hi Libby,

My new job is good, and I like Seattle. Can you come to Seattle? You can see
my new apartment.

It’s a nice apartment. There’s a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom, and a

bathroom. In the living room, I have my old sofa. Behind the sofa, there are
two big windows. I can sit on my sofa and watch people on the street. It’s fun.
My desk is in the living room, too. Right now, I’m sitting at my desk and
writing this e-mail on my computer.

In the bedroom, there’s a bed, a small table, and a reading lamp. The lamp is
on the table, so I can read books all night! There are still books and clothing
under my bed. Don’t worry. I can clean my room for your visit.

It isn’t a big apartment, but I love it!

Your brother,

Martin
