I live in a flat. It has three bedrooms, one kitchen, and one bathroom. It doesn't have a garage or a washing machine and the backyard is a mess, but in my flat we have a beautiful balcony. I like my neighborhood. Sometimes it is so dirty, but it is good. In my country I lived in an apartment. I loved it. It was beautiful, and had three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a good balcony.--Juan

I live in a house. There are eight bedrooms and two living rooms. There are ten people living in it. It has a garage but there aren't any cars in it because parking is convenient in front of the house. It has a backyard. My parents always plant vegetables in the yard. They make compost themselves so the vegetables are good. We like to eat these vegetables more often than the ones you buy in a store.--Vera

I live in an apartment. It's an old one. My apartment has a kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedroom. The kitchen has an oven. I use the oven to make different kinds of food. In my country the kitchen doesn't have an oven. I like the oven because I can try different kinds of cooking, for example, making cakes, bread, and beef steak.--Michelle

I live in a house with my daughter's family. It has 5 rooms: a kitchen, living room, dining room, and two bedrooms. Four people and a big dog live in it. It has a garage, a very big and beautiful backyard, and a washing machine and dryer. This is very perfect. In my native country I had a similar house. I know my neighbors are good, very quiet and hard-working.--Luba

I think the cost of living is much higher here than in my country, but San Francisco is more comfortable and convenient than my native country. I live in the Richmond District. I have one living room, two bedrooms, one dining room, and one kitchen. The neighborhood is safe and convenient. There are many schools, markets, malls, churches, restaurants, and good transportation. I believe the U.S.A. is the best.--Julia

I live in a house. My house has 5 rooms and a garage. It has a front and back yard. It also has a washing machine and dryer.

My home is an apartment. It has three rooms in it. My family of four people lives together here. We have one garage and a small yard. In the garage there are two washing machines. In my native country apartments sometimes have two or three floors. My neighbors are very kindly.--Sio Wan.

I live in a flat that has two floors. I live on the first floor. There are two bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom, yard and garage. I live with my husband and my husband's brothers. I don't have a washing machine because the electricity and gas aren't very cheap. The houses in my country are different because they are bigger and no one shares a house with another family. The weather is hotter and the yard has many mango trees.--Laura
