I. Read the text and decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE.
I live with my parents and my brother in a small house. There is one uncomfortable
thing about the house. My elder brother and I share the bedroom. There are two beds
in the room, but there is only one table and two chairs, so I rarely study at the table. My
brother often stays up late to play computer games. He does not want to turn off the light
when we sleep. However, we spend the evenings together so I never feel alone.
There is a small garden in the backyard. My mother plants some kinds of flowers
there. I often stand on the balcony to look over the garden while my mother is doing some
gardening. I sometimes help my mother to water the flowers. Though I live near the park,
I rarely come there. At weekends, I prefer staying home to going out.
