PART 3 
1.
What are the most common kinds of housing in your country? 
I think it comes down to where you live. If you live in the countryside, it’s normally a one storey home, 
whereas if you live in a metropolitan city, it’s typically a three or four story terrace home because space is at 
a premium.

3.
What are the differences between living in an apartment and a house? 
While there are many, probably the key one is noise since in the house you have less worries about making 
any noise, whereas in an apartment the neighbours are right next to you, so you are more concerned about 
not disturbing them.

5. 
What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in an old house? 
I guess, what’s charming with some is the historic architectural style, which can be very ornate and 
attractive when they are made of wood, but the downside is that they can often have many issues with things 
like the plumbing or electrical wiring, which can expensive to fix.
