My elder sister and i are moving into a new house this weekend, so we decided to do shopping to
furnish the place.
First, we went to an appliance store not too far from our new house, and we bought a refrigerator
for the kitchen. You really can’t live without one because you have to keep your food cold or
frozen so it doesn’t spoil. Then, we bought a washing machine to wash and dry our clotes. We
don’t want to go to a laundromat to do this every week like we used to do when we are in a
boarding house. Next, we bought a rice cooker. We certainly need one because it can make life
easier. You simply put the rice into the cooker and press the cooking button, then you can do
other chores while the cooker is cooking the rice finally, we picked up a microwave oven. if we
are in a hurry and don’t have time to cook, we can place the food in the microwave and heat it up
quickly.
We haven’t purchased everything we need to furnish our new place, but we think we have the
basic appliances to make life more comforable for now.
