Dear diary,
Mom and Dad found a new flat(公寓) today. Now that we are all teenagers, our flat is too small. Sally and I share a room, and Eric's room is really small. Our living room is also quite small and it's a little dark. The windows are too small and there is no balcony(阳台). Our bathroom is big, but it's really old. So my parents decided to find a new flat for us.
The new flat is much bigger. It has four bedrooms, so Sally and I can have our own rooms. Eric's room is large and it has a balcony. He's so happy. Mom and dad's room also has a balcony. There are two bathrooms that are both beautiful and modern. And the living room is excellent . It has two big windows, so it is nice and light. It's in Eastgardens— about five kilometers from here. It's closer to our schools, so that's great. Dad will have to travel a little farther to work, but he doesn't mind(介意).
Here's the best thing. There's a swimming pool. Everyone who lives there shares it. I can't believe it. I can swim every day after school. I can't wait to ask all my classmates to have a po ol party. I am really excited about that.

The dogs are full of excitement because" go to school" means they can play all day. They can run around and play with each other at" school". When" school" finishes, Montoya takes the dogs back home. He also sends some videos and pictures to show the dogs'" school" life to the dogs' owners.
