五、阅读理解
I was nine when my parents wanted to move from a normal-sized(普通大小的) flat in the city to a small place in the countryside, and I was eleven by the time we did it. And when I say "small", I mean really, really small. Our new home was about the size of a garage (车库). Compared (比较) to the flat where we lived in the city, it was tiny.
We built our tiny house ourselves on a piece of land about two hours' drive from the city. We went there every weekend and during holidays to work on it, but, even so, it took nearly two years to finish. My mum designed the house to hold all the everyday things. My "bedroom" was built in a space under the roof (屋顶) that I could reach by ladder (梯子).
▲ They enjoyed growing our own fruit and vegetables and keeping chickens. They were very happy about not having to pay for the electricity (电) because we could make electricity from the sun. We also collected wood around us to burn to keep us warm.
I remember that it took me a few months to get used to(习惯于) living in such a small space. Before we moved from the city, we had to give away most of our things because there wasn't enough space for them any more, but now I don't mind (介意) having fewer things. And one thing I love about our tiny home is being able to spend so much more time outside—something I didn't do in the city very often. And I do a lot more things with my parents, which is great.
I don't think I'll choose "tiny living" for myself in the future, but I'm glad that I've had the experience (经历) of it.
