The White House
We get up early this morning and【51】a long walk after breakfast.We walked through the business section of the city.I told you yesterday that the city was larger【52】I thought it would be.【53】the business section is smaller than I thought it would be.I suppose that’s【54】Washington is a special kind of city.【55】the people in Washington work for the government.About 9：30we went to the White House.It’s【56】to the public from 10till 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【57】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，【58】many trees and shrubs.The grounds【59】about four square blocks.I mean，they’re about two blocks long【60】each side.The part【61】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【62】the colors that are.used in them：the Red Room，the Blue Room and the Green Room.
The walls are covered with silk【63】.There are【64】old furniture，from the time【65】the White House was first built.And everywhere there are paintings and statues of former presidents and other famous people from history.
