Sample Answers

What can you see out of the windows at home? Well, I'm lucky to have a pretty sweet view from my window at home. I can see a big park with a lake and a bunch of trees. It's really nice to wake up to that every morning. Plus, I can see the sunset over the water, which is always a bonus.

Do you like to look out of the window? Yeah, I do. I find it really relaxing to just gaze out the window and watch the world go by. Sometimes I'll see people walking their dogs or kids playing in the park, and it's just nice to feel connected to the community. Plus, it's a great way to clear my head and take a break from whatever I'm working on.

Do you want to live in a home with a beautiful view in the future? Absolutely. I think having a beautiful view would be a huge perk. Not only would it be nice to wake up to every day, but it would also be a great way to unwind after a long day. I've always thought it would be amazing to have a view of the ocean or a mountain range – something that's just breathtaking. It would definitely make coming home feel like a vacation.

How do you feel when you can’t see anything beautiful from your window? Honestly, it can be a bit of a bummer. When I'm stuck in a room with no view, I feel kind of cooped up and restless. I think it's because humans are naturally drawn to nature and beauty, so when we're deprived of that, it can be a bit of a downer. That being said, I try to make the most of it and find other ways to get my nature fix, whether it's taking a walk outside or looking at pictures of beautiful landscapes.
