Moving into a New Home (Oxford 3000 Vocabulary Series)

Sara and her family were moving into their new house. As they were unpacking, Sara noticed that the living room needed some shade, so she hung the curtains. While carrying a heavy box, her brother accidentally dropped it and the floor began to shake. They all rushed to help pick up the scattered items. Their mom reminded them to be more careful with fragile and sharp items so they wouldn’t get broken or cause any accidents. ‘We shall have a lovely home once we’re done,’ she said, trying to lift their spirits. As they were arranging the furniture, Sarah had an idea about where to put the couch and decided to share her thoughts with her family. They all agreed that it would look great in the corner and the shape of the room started to come together. They covered the couch with a protective sheet to prevent stains. Then, they put the books on the shelf, and Sarah’s mom found a beautiful shell in a box and decided to display it on the coffee table. After a long day, they took a break and shifted their attention to dinner. As they sat down to eat, the lights in the room began to shine brightly. And, as a housewarming gift, Sarah’s aunt gave her a new pair of jeans to go with her favorite shirt.
