Question

 The loveliest house that I have ever lived in is Crosslands. I lived there with my grandparents when I was a child.

The house seemed so huge to me as a child. And it had a lovely living room with a piano in it.

And there was a strange room. It was the drawing room. We only used it on Sundays,or when visitors came for tea,or on Christmas Day or Easter Day. I used to be amazed about this room. It had the best furniture (家具) in it but it was covered with sheets—it was as if all the furniture wore clothes. We couldn’t enjoy this beautiful furniture all the week.

I went back to the house a few weeks ago. It has changed a lot. My uncle has modernized (现代化) it inside,and taken away the lovely furniture. And he has knocked a wall down so the drawing room and the living room have become one big room.

Although it becomes modern,its old style (风格) is the most beautiful in my heart. When I see the house,I know that I can’t go back and catch it. But there’s still a beautiful memory there.
