Manuel: House with Yard. - Like big yard 8 - Like working in the yard 2 - Growing vegies 3 - Fruit trees 6 - Like flowers 5 - Enjoy harvesting the vegies 7 - Biggest reason: share with friends 9 - Prepare the land 1 - Watering plants 4 I like to have a big yard. First, I can work on it. For instance, when the winter has finished, I enjoy preparing the land for growing some vegetables. Also I like growing tomatoes, okra and colorful bell peppers. I like removing the soil and using natural fertilizer. Doing that the plants grow stronger and give good fruit. The winter season being over, it is time to prune the roses and fruit trees -- a favorite task. I like to see a robust trees and beautiful, wonderful, nice, colorful flowers. When is harvest time, I enjoy doing that. My biggest pleasure is to share my yard with friends and family. ====================================== He: Big Family. - Interesting to celibrate festivals 1 - Get help from family members 5 - Good dishes at home 4 - Easy to find a job 7 - New knowledge 6 - More gifts at holidays 2 - More friends to play with 3 I would like a big family with tens of family members. It is very interesting to celebrate festivals with a big family. On some holidays, people send gifts to each other as a blessing. You can get many gifts from a big family. For kids, they have many friends to play with, too. Good dishes with multiple flavors can be tasted if you have several cooks at home. It is also very easy to get help from family members. The more people at home, the more resources can be shared. Moreover, family members in a big family can share more new knowledge. In addition, it is easy to find a job in a big family. People at home are willing to introduce good job opportunities to their relatives. Therefore, I would prefer to have a big family. ====================================== Bruce: Small Town vs Big city. - Big city: a - many thing to do 2 - Interesting cultures 1 - Many jobs available 3 - Small towns b - Quiet 2 - Less traffic 1 - More living space 3 - Less expensive 4 - My preference Living in a small town or a big city each have their own advantages. For instance, a big city often has people from many different places and of various backgrounds. It is both interesting and enlightening to know other cultures. And more notably, a large city can support a lot of activities such as performing arts, museums or professional sports. But perhaps most important is the variety of employment opportunities. In contrast, a small town offers other benefits. A small town has less traffic making it easier and less stressful get to places. also, smallness affords less noise and hubbub and a sense of tranquillity. A small population permits individuals to have more space; many families own a house with a large yard. On top of all that, living in a small town is normally less expensive, especially for housing. My own preference is a place like Lafayette which I consider a small city or a large town. Lafayette shares all of the above advantages.
