My first home

When my parents married, they rented a small house and they didn’t have a lot of money for furniture. The kitchen had a sink for washing up and a cooker, but that was all. They (1) a old table and a chair from the market. They borrowed a sofa (2) was also old but they covered it with modern materials so it was bright and cheerful.

Outside, there was a small garden behind the house, but in front of it there was only the road. (3) , the road wasn’t busy, so I could cross it to reach the park on the opposite side. We lived there (4) I was ten and we were very happy. We had to move house because it was too small when my twin sisters were born. We all (5) sad when we left.
