35:理想之家1.What are the most popular types of homes where you live?I live in a large city that has a relatively dense population compared to a lot of smaller towns and villages in the countryside, therefore, the most popular types of home where I live are apartments.Most people in the city cannot afford to purchase their own homes, and even if they could there is not enough space in the city for everyone to build a large grand house. Therefore, it is more efficient and sensical to supply high-rise buildings with lots of apartments that go high into the sky. Most of the time, these apartments are quite nice and the views they have of the city are incredible. So, the most popular types of home where l live are apartments.2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of owning a home?There are quite a few advantages and disadvantages of owning a home. On the one hand, the advantages are that you do not have to pay rent on the home and the property belongs to you and your family. This means there will always be a place for you and your family to live which you can pass down through the generations which is a significant advantage to owning a home. On the other hand, owning a home comes with many responsibilities. When you are renting a property, if there are any major issues such as problems with the boiler or the electricity, then these problems are the responsibility of the landlord to fix and to pay for. When you own the property yourself, it becomes your responsibility to fix these things which can result in a lot of stress and pressure.3. Do young and old people like the same types of houses?I do not think young and old people like the same types of houses and apartments. I think this is because young and old people grew up with very different expectations of what sorts of places they wanted to live in when they were adults. For example, older people are less interested in apartments in high rise buildings, but they are also more content with simpler types of accommodation. In contrast to this, most young people are very accepting of apartments in high rise buildings, but they also want high tech advanced accommodation with a lot of features and gadgets. So, I believe old people and young people like different types of houses and apartments.4. Do people in China generally rent or buy their home?Nowadays it is becoming the norm for people to rent their home, especially in urban areas which is where the majority of the population lives. For quite some time, it was very conventional for Chinese families to have a family home that was owned by the family. However, with the recent boom of housing development that has occurred in China things are starting to change. It is much more common nowadays for people to rent accommodation long term, however, in many cases the rent prices are so reasonable that it is much cheaper to rent than to buy a house!5. Should governments be responsible for ensuring there is enough housing for the population to buy?It is my opinion that it is the responsibility of the government to ensure that there is enough housing for the population to buy. The government has a duty of care to its citizens, and it is important to make sure the citizens of your country have enough housing. Every citizen pays a lot of money to the government in tax, this tax is meant to be used for the development of infrastructure in the country, among other things. One of the most important forms of infrastructure is housing.If the government does not take responsibility for suppling housing for the population, then there will be a significant rise in homelessness which will be a huge drain on the country and cause a lot of problems.编辑：Moon▼IDE英创教育
