"I'm Afraid"

        上星期，白雪在网上看到了一套漂亮的公寓，有一房一厅，还有一个厨房、洗手间和一个大阳台。价格也不贵，她能接受。

        从照片上看，卧室和客厅看起来又大又干净，客厅有沙发、电视，卧室的床也看起来很舒服。

        阳台的外面可以看到一个小公园，如果住在这里，还可以每天去公园散散步。

       最重要的是，这个公寓离地铁很近，走路5分钟就到了，她只要坐一个地铁站就可以到公司，或者，她可以走路半个小时到公司。

        她高兴极了，约我周末的时候一起去看看这套公寓。

Last week, Báixuě saw a beautiful apartment online, with one room and one living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and a large balcony. The price is not expensive, she can accept it. The bedroom and living room look big and clean in images. The living room has a sofa and TV. The bed in the bedroom also looks very comfy. You can see a small park not far outside the balcony. You can go to the park for a walk every day if living here.
The most important thing is that this apartment is very close to the subway, and it is only 5 minutes' walk away. Only one subway station to the company, or, she can walk half an hour to the company. She was so happy that she asked for my company to visit this apartment in person at the weekend.
