Our new neighbours are the Browns．They have two children，a boy and a girl．The boy is Jack and the girl is Alice．Jack is 11，and he is one year older than me．Alice and my sister Nancy are 8years old．
At weekends，Nancy and I like to go to play with Alice and Jack．Both Jack and I really enjoy playing computer games．Sometimes the girls join us，but the games they enjoy are different from the ones we like．
There is a big park near our house．Sometimes，when the weather is fine，the four of us will go for bike rides there．We often stop at the huge playground to have some fun．Jack and I like to play basketball，but the girls prefer to sing and dance．
Our families often have dinner together．On some days，they come over to our house and on other days，we go over to theirs．Mr Brown and his wife cook really well．
Nancy and I are very glad to have the Browns next door．It's great to have friends living so near．
