"Dear, I found us a new apartment! We'll be moving in soon!" I told my wife with joy.
"Well, finally!" my wife said.
I'm Mr. H. Now I will live in another place with my wife and son. We've always wanted this.
"Son, you and I will now go to the new apartment, and mom will pack things in the old one." I told him.
"Okay, dad, you and I will go." my son said.
The new apartment was larger and more comfortable. My son and I began cleaning and preparing for the move.
First, we hug the old painting in the large room. That's probably a good place for it.
Then my son arranged the furniture in his room, and I gave advice.
"Put this chair here and move the table to the window" I said.
My wife had already packed up the old house, and we moved in by evening.
"So, how did you arrange the furniture?" my wife asked.
"Oh, that was difficult. But dad was a great guide" my son said with a smile.

Hi, this is Timothy! I want to tell you about my move to a new place.
This happened when Maria and I decided to come to the big city after graduating from the orphanage.
"I think it's better to live in that city than in ours," my sister Maria said.
"I'm of the same opinion, because there's more entertainment there," I said with confidence.
But when we arrived, everything turned out to be much more complicated. Things ran out quickly. Also, there were long lines in a new city. So after a while, we decided to go back.
"But we gained experience" Maria said.
"True, true" I said.
