My New House

by Tia

On Tuesday, 22 November 2011, my family and I moved to a new house as our house was demolished. Our new house is quite big and nice. It is not too far from my old house. There is a fish pond inside the house and the fish are quite big.

When we entered the house for the first time, we found the house was quite dirty and dusty. My mom immediately grabbed a broom and started to sweep the floor. After that, I helped mom to arrange our belongings in the new house. My mom put the television in the lounge. After we arranged the furniture, I took a break and fell asleep. In the late afternoon, mom woke me up. She asked me to wash the dishes. After washing the dishes, I took a bath. After that, I went to learn praying with my sister. After praying, I studied and then watched television.

I like to live in the new house as it is quite comfortable and spacious. I did not realise that we only have been living here for more than a month now. It seems, we've been here for years.
