My New Place
Hi Judy,
I moved into a small apartment near my school last week. There is only one bedroom, but I like it very much. The rent is about six thousand dollars a month.
My bed is beside the window, and a small bookcase stands next to it. I bought a used desk and an old chair from my neighbor for eight hundred dollars.
I still need a freezer. Do you know a cheap store? Please come and see my new place this Sunday.
Nina
全文中譯
茱蒂你好：
我上星期搬進學校附近的一間小公寓。只有一間臥室，但我很喜歡。房租大約一個月六千元。
我的床在窗戶旁邊，旁邊立著一個小書櫃。我用八百元向鄰居買了一張二手書桌和一把舊椅子。
我還需要一台冰箱。你知道哪裡有便宜的店嗎？這個星期天請來看看我的新住處。

Old Things, New Life
Do not throw away your old furniture. Those things can have a new life.
An old wooden box can become a small table beside your bed. A large case under the couch can hold your winter clothes. If a chair is broken, take it back to a shop. Most of the time, a worker can fix it in one day.
Some cities in Australia and Canada give old furniture to poor families. Taiwan is doing the same thing now, and more people are happy to help.
