Original:

Last weekend, because my friend needed to buy a house, we went to see a few apartments together. One of them, the room and the lighting is good, but the price is more expensive, but the friend still likes it. The other few, not the room type is bad, is daylighting is bad, so all have no choice.

Edited:

My friend needs to buy a new apartment, so last weekend, we went to see a few properties together. One of them had a nice room and really good lighting. Although it was too expensive, my friend still liked it. The other apartments were not really bay themselves,  but didn’t have good daylighting exposure, so in the end,all the choices were bad.

(Source: www.newsinlevels.com/products/baby-giraffe-in-texas-level-3/)

A zoo in Texas added another giraffe to its herd – a 1.8-meter-tall, 84-kilogram baby boy born on June 8th, who is still awaiting a name.

When he fully matures, people expect him to be 5.5 meters tall and weigh up to 1,360 kilograms. Along with the rest of the herd, he will join the African savannah exhibit which will open next year.
