1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in a five-storey house? Would you like to live in a house like that?
I don’t find the advantages of living there with so small spaces. I wouldn’t like it.

2. How would you describe your house?
My house has a lot of space and there are two floors, and two gardens one on the frontend and another on the backend.

3. Is it better to have a spacious house or a tiny house? Why?
I prefer a spacious house because I feel I have more freedom and independency between different rooms. However, a tiny house can be better for cleaning tasks.

4. What is your ideal house?
It’s a spacious house, with a big kitchen and living room. I like the bedroom on an independent place, without noise.

5. How are the prices of properties in your city? Are they low, average, or too high? Why do you think this is the case?
I believe the prices are suitable nowadays, no expensive, no cheap. In this way, I believe we’re in a more normalized situation today, after the crazy of the prices before the 2008 crisis.

Note the slightly better way to write this sentence:

I don’t find the advantages of living there with so small spaces.

I don’t find any advantages to living in such small space.
