A big house near the beach

Linda owns a big house near the beach. She wants to decorate the living room using cactuses as her main decoration. She hangs a contemporary painting on the wall across from her favorite luxury white sofa. After that, she takes a thirty‑minute break.

There is a small coffee shop nearby where she always buys her favorite cookies. Today, the shop only has brownies. Linda feels neutral about brownies, but she buys some anyway.

While she is having afternoon tea on the sand in front of her house, heavy rain suddenly begins to fall. She stops drinking and quickly packs up her things. She doesn’t want her feet to get wet or slippery.

An hour later, Linda continues decorating the living room. She cleans the sky‑pattern tiles on the floor, which make her feel like she is walking in heaven. Then she places a large mirror on the wall to the left of the white sofa. In the reflection, she can see the sea view — peaceful, bright, and relaxing, like lying on the beach.

After a month of steady work, Linda finally finishes decorating the house. Now she feels cheerful and ready to relax.
