Part 1

1. What kind of housing/accommodation do you live in? / Do you live in a house or a flat? / Do you live in an apartment (house)?

- I live in an apartment with my family. It is a two-story house which is a bit bigger than the average apartments in my country. Since there are 5 members in my family, we have 4 rooms, 2 bathrooms and a cozy balcony upstairs. 

 

2. Who do you live with?

- As I said before, I live with my immidiate family, father, mother, brother and sister and me! But now, my brother went to the army. Thus, 4 members live together. 

 

3. Would you consider moving somewhere else? Why?/ Do you plan to live there for a long time? / Do you plan to live there in the future?

- Unfortunately/Actually, no. I really like this house but in the future, I want to move/reside/dwell to a more comfortable house because my current house is located on a hill which is too high. I don't want to climb that hill and I want to move to a safer and more cozy accommodation.

 

4. What room does your family spend the most time in?

- Well, I think my family spends the most time in living room. That's mainly because we have a big television there. While watching funny reality shows, my family eat snacks, laugh and talk about thaose shows. 

 

5. What do you usually do in your house/flat/room?

- In my house, I always do home training. Before I go to the cafe to study, I do home training every morning. It makes me feel calm and helps to concentrate my study. 

 

6. Are the transport facilities in your home very good?

- Absolutely. My apartment has a great elevator and also stairs. Elevator moves me to the 5 floor which is in my house safely and fast. It has never broken down since I reside here. 

 

7. Do you have a good view from your house?

- Absolutely yes! My house is located under the bukhan mountain. Hence, we can see a fantastic view in our house and also on the rooftop. I can feel fresh air and see leaves going brown as the seasons pass.

 

8. Do you take photos of it?

- Yes. That's mainly because I can compare and enjoy the views with all seasons. In fact, I bought a DSLR and a film camera a few months ago. So I sometimes go to the rooftop and take photos. The results with two cameras have quite different moods but both of them are really great. 

 

9. Are there any shops around your house?

- Yes. There are many shops around my house. Actually, the traditional market is the closest shop in my hometown so I usually go there to shop for food and daily necessities. It is affordable price and has quite good quality

 

10. What do you enjoy about your place?

- Unlike other apartments, my house has a second floor with a balcony where I can grow some plants. So, I have some plants like a blueberry tree. Sometimes I eat blueberry off of that tree which is my favorite feature of my house.
