Practice 1 — Describing things / Telling a story - student project

This small 2-floor stone cottage is located in the countryside right in the middle of a field. There is a lake next to the cottage. It’s a great place for fishing and swimming.  Huge mountains covered in fluffy clouds surround the place, hiding it from the rest of the world.

The cottage was built almost 100 years ago. Even though the best days of the cottage have gone, its shabby walls and a cracky gable roof with a small attic window give this place a cozy and unique atmosphere.  Next to the house is a birch grove. In summer days the grove offers a big harvest of berries and mushrooms.

Mr. Clarke got this house from his grandfather. Back in the days, he liked to come here on summer holidays. He loved exploring the area, climbing trees, and going fishing with his grandpa. Mr.Clarke’s grandfather built this house as a gift for his wife. This place is full of warm memories. Now Mr.Clrake has children of his own, and the Clarke family comes here place for a weekend or holidays.
