Home & Accommodation

11. Do you prefer living in a house or an apartment?

答案:

I prefer living in an apartment because of its convenience and low maintenance. Apartments are usually located in vibrant neighborhoods with easy access to shops and public transport. I enjoy the sense of community in apartment living, as I often get to know my neighbors. Plus, I appreciate the security that comes with living in a building.
