My father is seventy-five years old this year. But he looks very young. He looks like a sixty-year-old man. Now he can do everything all by himself. For example, he cooks, washes clothes, does the housework and so on.

Every morning, my father goes out with a radio. He listens to the music or the news and goes to the park to play taijiquan. In the park, he talks and laughs with other old people. After coming back from the park, he begins to have breakfast and then he goes to the university (大学) for the old. He learns drawing there. In the afternoon, he plays on the computer for about one or two hours. After supper he watches TV and learns about the world. He goes to bed at about eight o’clock. He never stays up. He likes to share his ways of keeping healthy with others.

I'm Emily. Three years ago, I thought I didn't have enough time to do the housework, so I cancelled the cable(取消有线电视). But I still think it's fun to watch TV shows when I get the chance(机会).

My favorite show was The Life Laundry. It was so interesting. It came on Saturday mornings after Norm on This Old House and Rick Steves Europe. It was like Clean Sweep. It chose some common people. In the show, people took everything in the house outside so they could see how many things they had. Then they would go through each thing and decide whether(是否) to keep or sell it. When people sold some things they would never use, a team(团队) would make the home more beautiful with a new coat of paint. At the end of the show, everyone was always happy to see their home cleaned up and look _spacious

Antiques Roadshow came after The Life Laundry,which was confusing(令人困惑的) because The Life Laundry made you want to clean out your things, but it made you want to keep everything.
