To be honest, I have encountered several houses throughout my life. However, one of the most unappealing ones was the contravention of a distant relative. In fact, at that time, our relatives invited us to their house in order to celebrate a national festival. They had been living in this residential area for 16 years. During our trip, I was quite dissatisfied with its location and public facilities. For instance, it was located in a remote and isolated area which didn’t have access to facilities such as educational institutions, training centers. As a result, the majority of residents experienced challenges in their daily lives. Furthermore, the interior design of this house was not contemporary. For instance, it offered three rooms, which were not spacious, and all the pieces of furniture were old date. In addition, they did not have any household appliances or internet connection, moreover the rooms were anti-day and messy, as all the pieces of clothing were scattered around the room, therefore this gloomy atmosphere had a negative impact on my mood. Consequently, I am unwilling to have such a house for my extended family, as I would not be able to ensure my privacy, this contravention would not sweet my lifestyle and preferences as it is inconvenient. All in all, I believe that this house is inappropriate for me due to limited space and low maintenance, so I will not be able to lead a well-balanced lifestyle.

As a result, the majority of residents experienced challenges in their daily lives. Furthermore, the interior design of this house was not contemporary. For instance, it offered three rooms, which were not spacious, and all the pieces of furniture were old-fashioned. In addition, they did not have any household appliances or internet connection. Moreover, the rooms were untidy and messy, as all the pieces of clothing were scattered around the room. Therefore, this gloomy atmosphere had a negative impact on my mood. Consequently, I am unwilling to have such a house for my extended family, as I would not be able to ensure my privacy.
