昨天我收到了我姐姐/妹妹的一封信。
I had a letter from my sister yesterday.
她住在尼日利亚。
She lives in Nigeria.
在她的信中，她说她明年会来英国。
In her letter, she said that she would come to England next year.
如果她来了，她将会大吃一惊。
If she comes, she will get a surprise.
我们现在住在乡村一栋漂亮的新房子里。
We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country.
在我姐姐离开之前，对它的施工已经开始了。
Work on it had begun before my sister left.
这所房子在五个月前竣工了。
The house was completed five months ago.
在我的信中，我告诉她可以和我们住在一起。
In my letter, I told her that she could stay with us.
这所房子有很多宽敞的房间，还有一个可爱的花园。
The house has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden.
这是一所非常现代的房子，所以对某些人来说它看起来很奇怪。
It is a very modern house, so it looks strange to some people.
它一定是这个地区唯一的现代风格房屋。
It must be the only modern house in the district.
