英文小作文:
My Dream House
I dream of a house that is surrounded by lush gardens and green fields, with a view of the rolling hills beyond. This is my ideal curtilage, where I can relax and unwind, surrounded by nature"s beauty.
The house itself would be simple and elegant, with a touch of modern design, but still retaining its traditional charm. Inside, there would be plenty of space for my family and me to spread out, with comfortable living rooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and a cozy dining room.
The curtilage would be my own personal playground, where I could grow my own vegetables and raise some chickens for eggs. I would also like to build a small pond and a wooden deck, so that I could enjoy the sunset over the water, or watch the stars in the clear night sky.
In my dream curtilage, I would be able to unplug from the stresses of everyday life, and just be myself, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the comfort of my own home. It would be a place where I could truly relax and recharge my batteries, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
