Imagine you are one of the crew in the abandoned city of the future. Your captain has gone
missing and you are now in charge. At first you see no signs of life, but then you notice a
strange glow coming from a skyscraper. You decide to investigate…
Write a paragraph describing your entry into the skyscraper.

As soon as I entered the sky scraper I was shocked. It was a huge house filled with shiny
glass windows, the scent of the house smelled like many flowers, and sitting next to the
glass window felt like you were sitting on the beach relaxed. The room doors were as big as
the entrance door.
