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.

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 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, ateam (团队)would make the home more beautiful with a new coat of paint.
