3. Moving to a new house.
The Johnson family is moving to a new house. Mrs. Johnson wrote a note to the movers that explains where to put all the furniture.
Read the note and then follow Mrs. Johnson's instructions. Put the furniture in the correct room.
Dear movers,
Here's a little note to help you put all the furniture in the house – it should be very easy, really. First the living room – this is the room next to the kitchen. The bookcase and the sofa go in here. Just leave them in the middle of the room.
The cupboard goes in the kitchen. So does the space heater. Put them in the middle of the room – I'll move them around later.
The mirror and the shelves go in the bathroom. Put them on the floor for the time being.
The bedroom is next to the bathroom. The table, armoire and bunk beds go here. Leave them in the middle of the room.
One thing I forgot – the plant goes in the bathroom. Oh, and the rocking chair! Put that in the living room.
I think that's everything.
Thanks very much,
Alison Johnson
