　　My family and I lived in other people’s apartment until last spring. We had to pay a lot of money for it. We weren’t happy there because the building was crowded and noisy, and the owner didn’t use to fix things. We decided to move. But most apartments in this city were even worse, we had to pay more money. 61

　　It was very difficult to find a house! Homes in quiet, beautiful neighborhoods were too expensive. 62 But the areas were dangerous. Prices in all areas seemed to go up every day, and we needed to find a place fast. For these reasons, we were beginning to get nervous.

　　Finally, my husband and I found a small house in a neighborhood that wasn’t bad. The problem was the house itself. It was advertised as a real “fixerupper.” That meant it was not good. It needed paint. The wallpaper was horrible; there were dirty things all over the bedroom walls! …In the “garden” there were dirt, weeds, and a few half-dead plants with insects all over them. When our kids first saw their new home, they began to cry. I understood that. 63 Well, the four of us decided to share the work and spend our summer vacation on the house. We cleaned up the yard and painted the house. We fixed the porch and the front steps and the roof. We planted trees and grass. Day by day, this horrible little house was beginning to feel like home. 64 The kids are pleased—except for one thing. It’s their job to cut the grass every weekend.

　　A. Now we’re happy here.

　　B. I wanted to cry too.

　　C. Nobody wanted to go outing.

　　D. We found a few inexpensive houses.

　　E. So we started to look for a house to buy.
