Topic number 4: Housing....

Living in towns and villages has both advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages: job opportunities, better schooling possibilities, a rich social life, sport facilities, cultural events, shopping centres.
Disadvantages: pollution, noise, crowded and hectic place, fumes from factories, chimneys and cars, dirt, pickpockets, shoplifters, burglars, murders.....

One advantage of living in a village is that people have more privacy. People in villages usually live in houses with a garden. Some of them also have a garage. Living in a house has many advantages: there is more privacy. there is more space - more rooms – houses usually have a ground floor and the first floor. houses usually have a garden and a garage. you can listen to loud music. you can keep bigger pets: dogs, cats, horses. But it can also have some disadvantages: It is more expensive. You have to work in the garden – you must cut the grass, look after the trees. You have to tidy up more rooms and clean more windows.....

The countryside is usually quiet and comfortable. In summer you can go out for a walk to the forest or you can just sit in the garden, read a book or relax. People in the village usually know each other and they can help you if you need help. But living in the countryside has also some disadvantages. Some people think that it is boring because there is no cinema, swimming pool or fitness centre and you sometimes have to travel by train or by bus if you work or go to school in the town.
Living in a town also has some advantages and disadvantages. People in towns usually live in a block of flats. The advantages of living in the block of flats are: It is cheaper. It is comfortable. You don’t have to clean a lot because you don’t have many rooms and windows.
But it has disadvantates, too. For example: There is less privacy. There is less space. Flat usually doesn’t have a garden. You can’t listen to loud music. If the lift doesn’t work, you have to go up by foot. If anything brakes in your flat, you can cause damage to other people – for example, if the watertap breaks in your flat, the water will damage your neighbour’s flat below.
Living in the town or a city is exciting. If you live in a town, you can enjoy the cultural life – you can go to the cinema, to the theatre, for a concert, to the fitness centre or a swimming pool. You can go out and have a dinner in a restaurant, if you want to. There are usually supermarkets which are opened for longer than the shops in villages. The disadvantages of living in the city are: city is usually dirty, noisy, it is more dangerous than the countryside......

During the communist period a lot huge housing estates were built in our country. These days, a lot of them are being reconstructed and new ones are being built but not as many as before. A flat may be large with nearly as much space as a house, or it may be just one room with kitchen and bathroom. Most of the flats in Slovakia are two-, three- or four - room flats.
