The following test is for question 9 to 12.

My elder sister and i are moving into a new house this weekend, so we decided to do
shopping to furnish the place.
First, we went to an appliance store not too far from our new house, and we bought a
refrigerator for the kitchen. You really can’t live without one because you have to keep your
food cold or frozen so it doesn’t spoil. Then, we bought a washing machine to wash and dry
our clotes. We don’t want to go to a laundromat to do this every week like we used to do
when we are in a boarding house. Next, we bought a rice cooker. We certainly need one
because it can make life easier. You simply put the rice into the cooker and press the cooking
button, then you can do other chores while the cooker is cooking the rice finally, we picked
up a microwave oven. if we are in a hurry and don’t have time to cook, we can place the food
in the microwave and heat it up quickly.
We haven’t purchased everything we need to furnish our new place, but we think we have the
basic appliances to make life more comforable for now.
