Our New Home
Sudipto Mitra
During my summer holidays, we finally bought our new house, and I could not wait to
live there. The best part is that the new house is in the same school district, and very close to the
old house. So I would not have to change my school. I love my school, Curtsinger Elementary,
and I have a lot of friends there. I am so glad that I will not lose my friends.
Our home is approximately 1 mile away from our old house. I love my new home and I
already feel attached to it, especially since I saw it being built from the scratch. It is a huge
community where there is a clubhouse, with a fitness room and a ballet room, a playground, and a
swimming pool. There is a huge waterslide and a "kiddie pool".
Unfortunately I have not been able to enjoy the pool as yet since my parents are still busy
putting the house in order, and there is no one who can take me there. I also have many neighbors
who go to the same elementary school as I do. In fact, two of my friends who go to the same
grade as I do, live on the same street.
The best part is that I have a new room and so does my sister. In the old house both of us
shared the same room. In my room, most of the things are blue, and in my sister’s room,
everything is pink. I have a carom board, which I can keep in my room. I love playing carom with
my friends.
My mom taught me how to play carom and I taught my friends. In the new house we
have a media room. We did not have one in the old house, so I am very excited about it. But my
mom says we are not going to put a TV in the media room.
There is a huge soccer field behind my backyard, but the goal post has not been put as
yet. I am so excited about it. Whenever any of my friends come over, I am going to go there and
enjoy a game of soccer. We also have a huge balcony looking over the family room and 2
staircases. I am telling you, this house is 2 times bigger than the old one. We have a 3 car garage
too, but the space for the 3rd car is used up as storage.
The coolest thing is that there is a new thermostat in the master bedroom. It had some
cool features. If the temperature is not too high, or low, and a green leaf is showing that means it
is saving energy. The other most fascinating thing that I did was to assist my dad. He got a whole
lot of boxed furniture from various places.
Both of us had a lot of fun putting those parts together to build the furniture. In fact, the
best of all was my study table.
Our new house is amazing, I have helped my mom and dad a lot, and we will enjoy this
house as much as we did the old one.
