Do you live in a house or an apartment?
I live in an apartment on the third floor of a quiet building. It has three rooms and a small balcony where I like to drink tea in the evening.
What is your favourite room at home?
My bedroom, because it is my private space. I have a desk by the window where I study, and the view of the trees helps me concentrate.
How long have you lived there?
For about eight years. We moved when I was in primary school, so most of my memories are connected with this place.
Would you like to move to a different home in the future?
Maybe. I would like a bigger place with a garden, preferably in a quieter area, but I would still want to be close to my family.
What do you like about your neighbourhood?
It is peaceful and green, and there are shops, a park and a bus stop within five minutes. Everything I need is nearby.
Is there anything you would change about your home?
I would add more storage space, because it fills up quickly. A larger kitchen would also be useful when the whole family cooks together.
