Two months ago, I moved out of my parents' house. I wanted to be more independent, so I rented a small apartment near my office.
兩個月前，我從爸媽家搬了出來。我想更獨立一點，所以在公司附近租了一間小公寓。
It has only one bedroom, but the living room is bigger than my old bedroom. The rent is not cheap, so I have stopped eating out every weekend.
它只有一間臥室，但客廳比我以前的臥室還大。房租不便宜，所以我已經不再每個週末都去外面吃飯了。
Living alone is harder than I expected. Nobody cooks for me or reminds me to take out the trash. Last week I forgot, and the kitchen smelled terrible.
一個人住比我想像中難。沒人幫我煮飯，也沒人提醒我倒垃圾。上週我忘了倒，廚房臭得要命。
Still, I love my new home. Next month I'm going to paint the walls light blue and invite my parents for dinner.
不過，我還是很愛我的新家。下個月我打算把牆漆成淺藍色，再請爸媽來吃晚餐。
