Carrie’s House

      This afternoon, we went on a 3-hour trip to three places: a beach, a forest, and Carrie’s house, and what impressed me most is Carrie’s house.  

       Carrie possesses a very old and spacious two-storeyed house. Carrie told us that it has a history of 150 years. On the first floor are a large kitchen, a bathroom, a guest bedroom, and a very spacious living room. The main bedrooms are on the second floor. The floor is wooden. The rooms are very tidy, clean and very comfortable.

Outside the house, there is a shed, and two big courtyards, on which grow green grass, various kinds of vegetables, and several huge trees as old as the house. The environment is really beautiful!

Guess how much the house costs Carrie? Only about $140, 000 (RMB900,000)！

What a cheap house it is compared to mine in China!

       My husband and I bought a new 3-bedroom apartment last year.Though it is newly built, it is unfurnished, and neither is it as spacious as Carrie’s. And it has no courtyards or shed or big old trees. But it costs my husband and me more than RMB950,000!
