Tu amigo Pablo te envia un correo describiendo donde
vive.
Hola, me llamo Pablo. No vivo en Madrid, vivo
en un pueblo al norte de la ciudad que se llama
Aranjuez. El pueblo es bastante tranquilo pero a
veces hay turistas. Vivo en una casa antigua y
grande. En mi casa, hay cuatro habitaciones, un
comedor, dos baños y una cocina. Cuando era
pequeño, vivía en el centro de Madrid en un
piso. Era demasiado pequeño pero acogedor. En
el futuro, preferiría vivir en una ciudad que un
pueblo porque sería más fácil ver a mis amigos.
En mi piso, habría una piscina para relajarse.

A: Cuando Pablo era pequeño vivía en una casa
