My name is Li Shiyu and I live in Shanghai. My parents, my sister and I live in a house with two bedrooms. Because it only has two bedrooms, I have to share (分享) one room with my sister. She knows everything I do in the room. I don't have much privacy.

My neighborhood is big and very noisy. I don't know many of my neighbors because theyare only at home at night. There is a park in my neighborhood and I like to play there after school.

My school is far, and I have to take two different buses to get to school. On weekends, my father often drives us to my grandparents'home. We have lots of fun there, but it's too far away.

My parents are looking for a new house. They want it to be near my school, so I don't need to spend so much time on the way each day. I want a house with three bedrooms and a small garden (花园).
