Started: 1:10am, Finished: 1:50am
I would like to live in a traditional house rather than a modern apartment building because of following reasons:
First of all, I have risen up in a traditional house with my parents. It makes me feel comfortable to continue living in the same kind of house. After all, those house are cheap in price, and people around are almost acquainted and familiar. Most of my families live in small vicinity, so I would like to stay nearby, and stay in touch with them.
The second reason makes me to choose to live in a traditional house is that most of them have yards. I would like you build a small garden with flowers in the yard of my traditional house, which is almost impossible in apartment building yards. I can grow grapevines, apple trees, and so forth. I can talk with my nice neighbors while I am watering the green plants. I can always come out and lie down in the night, and watch the stars.
The third reason is that people around traditional houses are so nice and kind than those people who live in the cities. The people in the cities are always busy with their jobs, they are always tired, and more over they are always in rush. So, there is no time to know each other well.
Last but not the least, is that there is no need to be worry about making a little bit loud noises. I think in an apartment you are too restricted to do something noisy. In traditional houses, your neighbors may never knock your door and ask you to turn the TV down. But, if you live in an apartment, you need to be quiet, because one of your neighbors is tired and want to sleep early.
Taking all the above mentioned into account, I would like to live in a traditional house, because most of my family members are living in these kinds of houses. People around these houses are nice. You can raise plant in your small garden. Children could play games in the yard, and finally these houses are to convenience to do noise activities without bothering your neighbors.
Hi Kitos, How is painting your house going? Oh, more importantly, How are Rusty, Voilleta, and Becky? Are they fine? Do you still bring them out for walking while you are busy with your painting?
Kitos, I would like to ask your evaluate, score, and also write some comments for this essay. I know you are really busy these days.
Cheers.
