    This is a nice new building in Shanghai. It is very tall. It has twenty stories. There are about eighty families in the building. That is to say, about two hundred and fifty people live in this building! I live here, too. My home is on the fifteenth floor. We have two bedrooms and a sitting room. They are bright and dean. There are a lot of big trees and beautiful flowers around our new building. I like to look out of the window in my room. I can see cars and buses running in the street. I can see people walking in the street, too. They look so small! I can also see a lot of tall buildings. How beautiful Shanghai is! I am happy to live in one of the nice new tall buildings.
