I live in flat in the city near the old town. I'm glad that I live like this because I have everything nearby and I don't
have to go anywhere. We have a that isbig flat spacious but cozy at the same time. But I don't like our neighbors
because they often quarrel. My favorite part of flat is my room because I can be alone there, I have things there that
I like and I designed it myself, so I like it, It's my peaceful place.
Advantages of living in the village / in a house:
 A large, spacious house with a large garden where we can have swimming poll and we can relax in
the summer and sunbathe
 We have no neighbors and they don't disturb us, so we have more privacy than in flat
 We can have a big dog and he won't be confined anywhere, he also has a garden so we don't have to
walk him and I think he is better in the house than in the apartment
 We have our own garage in the house and we don't have to worry about the car

Disadvantages of living in the village / in a house:

 It is more difficult to clean in it because it is big and spacious, and I don't like cleaning
 We have to take care of the garden and flowers all year round and it can cost us a lot of money
 Houses tend to be larger than apartments, so they are probably more expensive and less affordable

Advantages of living in the flat

 It is smaller than a house, so it is less difficult to clean
 Most of the flat are close to the center, so everything is close to us, for example shops, kindergartens,
schools, shopping centers
 for example, we don't have to take care of the garden yet or it's cheaper than a big house
