【答案解析】[解析] 14-16 Some time ago, my husband and I moved to our new house and bought a new sofa for our living room. At the beginning, we agreed to buy a cheap one, since we cannot afford an expensive one. At the time we saw what's in our living room now, we both liked its color and style. We made up our mind and took it. However, in recent weeks, my husband has begun to complain about this particular piece of furniture. Now he doesn't like the color or the style and he even complains that it is impossible to sit on it and be comfortable. Anyway, he wants to get rid of it and buy another one for 800 dollars. I'm just sick about his idea, because I like the one we have very much and besides I don't think we can't afford a new one. A new house almost makes us crazy. However, reasoning with my husband is like talking to a brick wall and believe me I've tried. What shall I do? Why he cannot listen to me just for one time? I'm almost ready to go home to my mother. We can't always agree with anything.
