—She is my aunt.

    Charlie and his family don't always live in their house. Sometimes they live in a houseboat. It has four rooms at the bottom of the boat. One of them is his parents' bedroom. Another one is his bedroom. Then there is a kitchen and a bathroom. Charlie's bedroom is small, but he likes it very much. There is a small window. It doesn't open because it's under the water and can see many fish there.

    In the school year, Charlie's family keeps their boat on the bank of the lake. In summer, Charlie and his family often take their boat out in the middle of the lake. They stay on the lake for a few weeks. Then they go fishing for their food. Charlie's mother grows vegetables in the pots on the boat, so they also have vegetables to eat. When it is very hot, they jump into the water and go swimming. Charlie thinks a houseboat is the best place to live in.

    All the people in Ben's family want to have a pet(宠物). Ben wants to have a dog. He says that a dog is a friend of men. But Ben's mother thinks that dogs need a lot of exercise.
