After retiring, my uncle – a lover of the sea- took up a strange leisure activity: he spends most mornings at the beach, looking for things that the sea sends ashore. He says: “It’s a multi-beneficial leisure activity. I can get some exercise, blending, picking up, and walking. I can breathe the fresh air and enjoy the vastness and quietness of the sea. Sometimes I watch the children playing beach games and I feel years younger. At the same time, I can also clean the beach. It’s volunteer work, isn’t it? Many of the things I pick up from the beach are still useful to someone. I clean them and sell them at the Sunday flea market in the town nearby.”

Which part of the day does he go to the beach?

Read the passage and answer the questions

I live in the house near the sea. It is an old house, about 20 years old, and it is not very large. There are two bedrooms upstairs but not bathroom. The bathroom is downstairs next to the kitchen and there is a living room where there is a lovely old fireplace. There is a garden in front of the house. The garden goes down to the beach and in spring and summer there are flowers everywhere. I live alone with my dog, Boxer but we have many visitors. Many of my friends work in the city, so they often stay with me because they want to relax.

What is in the front of the house?
