新居

I had a letter from my sister yesterday. She lives in Nigeria.

昨天我收到了姐姐的一封信，她住在尼日利亚。

In her letter, she said that she would come to England next year.

在信中她说她明年将到英国来。

If she comes, she will get a surprise.

如果她来了，她会感到非常惊奇的。

We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country.

我们现在住在乡间的一栋漂亮的新住宅里。

Work on it had begun before my sister left. The house was completed five months ago.

这栋房子在我姐姐离开之前就已动工了,是在5个月以前竣工的。
