Dave:
 
It is a two-hour drive from the airport to your new house.
 
Anna:
 
Oh, I can't wait to see our new house!
 
Pedro:
 
What colour is it?
 
Dave:
 
Your house is yellow.
 
Anna:
 
Yellow is my favourite colour!
 
Maria:
 
Tell us about our new home town, Dave.
 
Dave:
 
Okay. Filton is a small city. There is a high school. It is close to your house. There is also a post office, a train station, a few shops and a cinema.
 
Andreas:
 
Sounds good!
 
 
 
They arrive in the city. As they drive along the Main Street, Dave points to a building.
 
Dave:
 
Look, this is the post office and over there is the main station. From there, you can take the train to London.
 
Anna:
 
And where is our school?
 
Dave:
 
Just a moment, Anna, we're almost there.
 
 
 
They keep on driving.
 
Dave:
 
Look, there it is. That is your new school and there is a playground just around the corner.
 
 
 
They turn right and Dave stops the car.
 
Dave:
 
Here we are! This is your new home!
 
Maria:
 
Oh, it's beautiful!
