A significant sofa with lint- Final

There is a sofa in my living room. It sounds nothing special, but you will find that it is more clapped-out than the other sofas. It is a soft chair and has a cushion with lint. Why we put such an old chair there? It has a story.
When my parents got married, they didn't want to ask my grandparents to give them anything. All of the furniture were bought by my parents themselves, including the house. However, my grandparents still wanted to buy something to my mom as wedding presents. Finally, they bought a set of sofas. My mom even cried for this surprise. Since my parents moved into their house, the set of sofa has been there. Time went by slowly and the wooden sofa had been eaten by termites. We had no choice but threw them away, and we left the fine piece which currently is put in our living room.
Until now, I usually sit on that sofa and have a drink. My father always sits on it and cuts his foot nails. My mother always sits on it and watches Korean episodes and my brother always sits on it and plays video games. Although that sofa seems not to match with the other new sofas, it is my parents' memory and also a significant chair for me.

My Winter Vacation

I had a disastrous winter vacation this year than before. The reason is that I began to wear braces. This feeling is very wonder just likes you always eat some iron in your mouth. And my dietary habit has changed, too. I can not eat any hard food because it would heart my tooth. For example: sweet corn, guava, and chicken feet. Especially, I can not bite food with my front tooth. My tooth also usually gets heart, in that way, I can not eat my favorite food any time. I also did one thing that I never did before. After Chinese New Year’s Eve, I started to eat weight-losing meal. It must be very brave. When everybody was eating plenty of meat and fish, I just can eat my little peace of cookies and fruits.
I went to Taiching twice this winter vacation. Although I almost went to the same place but that was not the point. I had a date with Ryan, Mandy and Karen. We still were classmates in that moment, but after the winter vacation finishing, there will have some differences. We can not get together very often. We had a big meal together and talked a lot about our first semester life.
Besides those two things, my winter vacation just like before. All the same, stay at home, be a good child, got red envelopes and nothing else.
