Two years ago I left college and went back to work as a bank clerk in my hometown. I lived with my parents in a flat. But the flat has only two rooms and it was not big enough for us to live together any more. So last month we spent all our money buying a new apartment. It is very beautiful. Now let me tell you something about it.

Our apartment is not in the center of the city. It is 20 miles from the center. But different buses and undergrounds can take us to different places at any time. And we don’t have any traffic jam (堵塞). Our apartment is on the fifth floor of a tall building. The building has 32 floors in all.

There are three bedrooms in our apartment, one for my mother and father, one for me and the other for the guests who come to visit us. There is a living-room, a kitchen and a bathroom in our apartment. When you step into our apartment, you can see a wooden sofa, a tea table, a big Sony TV in the living room. We do not have a garden, but there is a small balcony outside the living room, a place for us to plant flowers and hang up our wet clothes. There are some plants on the balcony. In summer we can sit on the balcony to feel the cool wind because it gets hot inside the apartment.

I love our apartment. We’ll try our best to make it a comfortable place to live in.
