10.9. Which part of your home do you like the most?
It’s the dining room where my family spends our time together. Not only lunch
or dinner but all our
family reunions take place in the dining room where we
can
enjoy a harmonious atmosphere. We always try to keep the family dinner
as something we
cannot go a day without, since for us it’s the family bonding
that lies behind.

10.10. Why do you think some people invest a huge amount of money in
buying houses?
People certainly have different reasons to buy a
property. I believe the most
important one is privacy. You will gain much more independence and freedom
to
refurbish the place
as you please since you are the owner. Besides, it would
create
a pride of ownership. No matter how small or big your house is, it is
yours to
renovate or brag about.
Property (n): a building or buildings
and the surrounding land
