Sample Answers

What kind of housing / accommodation do you live in? I currently live in a two-bedroom apartment with my family. We chose this type of accommodation because it's convenient for us, with plenty of space for everyone and a great location close to public transportation.

Do you live in a house or a flat? I live in a flat, and I prefer it because it's more affordable and easier to maintain than a house. Plus, I like the sense of community that comes with living in an apartment building.

(If you answer you haven’t lived there long) What’s the difference between where you are living now and where you have lived in the past? Well, my current apartment is much smaller than my previous house, but I appreciate the cozy atmosphere and the fact that everything is within walking distance. In the past, I had to drive everywhere, so this is a big change for me.

Can you describe the place where you live? My apartment is a cozy two-bedroom place with a living room, kitchen, and a small balcony. The best part is the natural light that pours in through the large windows, making it feel bright and airy.

Which room does your family spend most of their time in? We spend most of our time in the living room, where we have a big TV and a comfortable couch. It's the perfect spot to relax and unwind after a long day.

How long have you lived there? I've lived in my current apartment for about three years now. It's been a great experience, and I feel like I've really made it my own.

What do you usually do in your house/flat/room? In my free time, I like to read and watch movies in my room. It's my own little sanctuary where I can escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Do you plan to live there for a long time? Yes, I do plan to live here for a while longer. The location is great, and I've built a good community of friends and neighbors, so I don't see myself moving anytime soon.

Are the transport facilities to your home very good? Yes, the transport facilities are excellent. There's a bus stop right outside my building, and the train station is just a short walk away, making it easy to get around the city.

Please describe the room you live in. My room is a cozy little space with a comfortable bed, a desk, and a bookshelf. I've decorated it with some personal touches, like family photos and artwork, to make it feel like home.

Do you prefer living in a house or a flat? I think I prefer living in a flat because it's more convenient and affordable for me. Plus, I like the sense of community that comes with living in an apartment building.

What part of your home do you like the most? I think my favorite part of my home is the balcony. It's a small space, but it's perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee or reading a book on a sunny day.
