Thank you very much. I just made some change. Please review.
144 Would you prefer to live in a traditional house or in a modern apartment building? Use specific reasons and details to support your choice.
I was born and grow up in a traditional house and now live in a modern apartment building in a city. I have a strong feeling that I love to live in a modern apartment. The reasons are quite clear. Living in a modern apartment is very convenient. Its convenience can be expressed on several aspects as follows:
First, modern apartment has a lot of modern facilities. In my apartment, I use refrigerator to store food, gas stove to cook, washing machine to wash clothes and dishwasher to wash dishes. Air condition makes the room temperature even. There are other facilities around my apartment, such as swimming pool, fitness center and table tennis court. Modern living way saves a lot of time and makes life easier. While I was in my traditional house, most of my spare time was on housework. The scorching summer is especially unbearable. Food turned bad very fast. I sweated all the day and had no appetite to try anything. Flies and mosquitoes visited me often. I could not concentrate myself on reading or studying. It’s difficult to get use to live in the traditional house again after I have enjoyed the convenience the modern apartment building brought me.
On the other hand, traffic is always the best reason for me to live in an apartment. My apartment is close to downtown. With only one RMB, I can take a bus to shopping centers, schools, parks, bookstores, public library etc. When I lived in a traditional house, I had to ride a bike to bus terminal and transfer several buses to get downtown. It often took longer time and made me very tied
Last but the most important, I do not need to do maintenance to live in a modern apartment. Suppose the heater doesn’t work. I just need to make a call and the management office will send people to have it repaired. But if I live in a traditional house, I have to figure out what the problem is then I call someone to repair it. What’s more, I have to pay for the materials and handling.
Admittedly, living in a traditional house has some advantages such as one may enjoy the fresh vegetables and fruits. But, it takes too much time to care a garden. I would like to save the time to learn more new knowledge and high technology to keep pace with the modern society. Considering living in a modern building has more advantages, I prefer to live in a modern apartment rather than a traditional house. |
