Part 1 questions: Home & Decoration

1. Can you describe the place where you live?/ What kind of housing
accommodation do you live in?

I live in a two-bedroom flat in the city center. It is a multi-storey house and I live on
the fifth floor. My flat is neither large nor small, and I would say it is medium. It consists
of a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and a small balcony.

Types of houses: flat/apartment, house (one-storey house/two-storey house, etc.),

cottage, etc.

2. What do you like about your flat/house?

What I like about my flat is its location. As it is situated in the heart of the city,
everything can be found within a walking distance. I can easily walk to run my
errands around my flat. Besides that, it overlooks a beautiful garden. I enjoy
watching the trees and listening to birds singing in the early morning.

3. What color would you choose to paint the walls of your room?

I would rather choose subtle colors like light blue or gray. Because the colors give a
minimalistic look and it can easily be decorated with different colors and shapes of
decor and furniture.

4. What color would you never use in your house?

I would avoid using dark or glossy colors because colors like black makes a person
feel depressed and the room also looks cramped in such colors. Very bright colors like
glossy yellow make your eyes tired. I want my house to be a place of peace and
tranquility, so I would avoid using too dark or too bright colors.

5. Do you prefer living in a house or a flat?

I think living in a house is much more comfortable than living in a flat. Flats are usually
small and if you make noise, you start disturbing your neighbors. However, this is not
the case with a house. In a house, you can enjoy a much bigger space, do whatever
you want without bothering others or even build a swimming pool in your yard. So, as
for me, a house can give more facilities for living compared to a flat.

6. What would you like to change in your flat?/What do you dislike about your flat?

The biggest disadvantage of my current flat is its size. I would love to live in a bigger
house with a yard in the future. Besides that, I don’t have any flowers or plants in my
flat, so I would like to have some green space so that it would give a touch of nature
in my place.
