1- Can you describe each room of your house?
Each room in my house has its own vibe. The living room is cozy with a sofa, a TV, and some houseplants. The kitchen is compact but functional, with everything I need within reach. My bedroom is calm and organized, it’s where I unwind. The bathroom is clean and minimal, and there’s also a small workspace where I focus on tasks or reading.
2- Do you like the place where you are living? Why or why not?
Yes, I do like where I live. It’s quiet, safe, and has easy access to shops and public transport. I also like the natural light that comes into the house during the day. It’s not perfect, but it feels like home. I’ve made small changes to make it more comfortable over time.
3- What is your favorite room in your house? Why?
My favorite room is definitely my bedroom. It’s the most personal space and where I feel most relaxed. I’ve decorated it with warm colors, fairy lights, and a few of my favorite books. It’s the perfect place to recharge after a long day.
4- How many different homes have you lived in? Which one did you like the best? Why?
I’ve lived in four different homes so far. The one I liked best was my college apartment because it gave me my first real sense of independence. It was small but full of memories, late-night chats, and creative projects.
5- If you could change anything about your present home, what would it be?
If I could change anything, I’d love to have a little balcony or outdoor space. Sometimes I just want to sit outside with a coffee or read in the sun. An extra room for guests or hobbies would also be great.
6- What do you like about your home? What don’t you like?
I like that my home feels peaceful and is easy to maintain. The layout is practical, and it’s easy to keep things tidy. What I don’t like is the lack of storage space and sometimes the Wi-Fi acts up in certain corners.
7- Where would your dream home be? What would it be like inside and out?
My dream home would be a cozy house near the mountains or sea. It would have big windows, lots of natural light, and wooden floors. Inside, it would be warm and welcoming with plants and art. Outside, a small garden or patio to relax would be perfect.
8- Who are your neighbors? Do you get along well with your neighbors?
My neighbors are mostly families and a few retirees. We get along just fine, everyone is polite and keeps to themselves. Occasionally, we greet each other or share festive treats during holidays, which is nice.
9- Would you prefer to live in a house or an apartment? Why?
I’d prefer to live in a house because I like having more space and privacy. Apartments can be convenient, but I love the idea of a little yard or space to decorate freely without too many rules.
10- Have you ever been homesick? Have you changed anything in your house recently? If so, what was that?
Yes, I’ve been homesick before, especially when I moved away for studies. Recently, I changed the curtains and added a few wall shelves for extra storage. Small changes like that can really freshen up the place and make it feel more personal.
