搬家 Moving House in Chinese

上个星期shàng ge xīngqī我们wǒmen搬家bānjiā了le，因为yīnwèi老lǎo房子fángzi离lí公司gōngsī太tài远yuǎn了le。

Last week we moved, because the old place was too far from my office.

新家xīnjiā虽然suīrán不bú大dà，但是dànshì又yòu干净gānjìng又yòu安静ānjìng。

Although the new home isn't big, it's both clean and quiet.

搬家bānjiā那天nà tiān，几个jǐ ge朋友péngyou来lái帮bāng我们wǒmen搬bān箱子xiāngzi，大家dàjiā都dōu很hěn累lèi。

On moving day, a few friends came to help us carry boxes, and everyone was worn out.

中午zhōngwǔ我们wǒmen还hái没有méiyǒu桌子zhuōzi，就jiù坐zuò在zài地上dìshang吃chī面条miàntiáo。

At noon we didn't have a table yet, so we just sat on the floor and ate noodles.

晚上wǎnshang，邻居línjū送来sòng lái了le一些yìxiē水果shuǐguǒ，还hái说shuō：“欢迎huānyíng你们nǐmen！”

In the evening, the neighbors brought over some fruit and said, "Welcome!"

新家xīnjiā离lí地铁站dìtiězhàn很hěn近jìn，走zǒu五分钟wǔ fēnzhōng就jiù到dào了le。

The new home is very close to the subway station — a five-minute walk and you're there.

现在xiànzài我wǒ越来越yuè lái yuè喜欢xǐhuan这个zhège新家xīnjiā了le。

Now I like this new home more and more.
