The White House

We got up early this morning and 　 1　　a long walk after breakfast. We walked through the business section of the city. I told you yesterday that the city was larger 2 I thought I t would be. 　 3　　the business section is smaller than I thought it would be. I suppose that's 4 Washington is a special kind of city. 5 the people in Washington work for the government. About 9: 30 we went to the White House. It's 6 to the public from 10 till 12, and there was a long line of people waiting to get in. We didn't have to wait very long, because the line moved 7 quickly.

The White House is really white. It is painted every year. And it seems very white, because it's got beautiful lawns all around it, 8 many trees and shrubs. The grounds ___9 about four square blocks. I mean, they're about two blocks long 10 each side. The part 11 the President lives and works is not open to the public. But the part we saw was beautiful. We went through five of the main rooms. One of them was the library, on the ground floor. On the next floor, there are three rooms named __12__ the colors that are used in them: the Red Room, the Blue Room and the Green Room. The walls are covered with silk 13 . There are 14 old furniture, from the time 15 the White House was first built. And everywhere there are paintings and statues of former presidents and other famous people from history.
