　　My Dream House

　　My dream house is made of a kind of special paper, which can't be easily destroyed by floods or fires. When floods hit our area, it can float on the surface of the water. And all the doors will be closed at once. The furniture in the house is also made of special materials, which can't be broken, either.

　　Our house can keep us warm in winter and cool in summer. We use solar energy instead of traditional fuels, so our house is environmentally friendly. Made of paper, it is so light that it can move to anywhere you like, what's more, it has wheels and wings.

　　Such is my dream house.
