Draft
Final Version
I like my grandma’s house because it is a fun and welcoming place. My family visits often on the weekends, where we enjoy meals together and spend time watching TV. My grandma is very kind and always makes us laugh. Her house is big and has a yard where we can play outside. I enjoy going there because it makes me feel happy and relaxed. It is one of my favorite places to be.
