Some people believe that living in a landed house is more convenient while others prefer to live in an apartment and they believe there are advantages in it. In my opinion, I strongly believe that living in a house has more advantages than disadvantages.

Firstly, living in a house will give more privacy. In an apartment there will be more apartments very closely and that will restrict a persons privacy. For example, is very nosey when doors and windows are very closer. In addition to that, flat mates share the same lift and entrances, while in a private house, it will be very convenient and it can have a wall that hides everything inside and provides greater extend of privacy.

While a private house brings many more advantages, some more examples would be, it is very relax without apartment rules and restrictions. Some apartments would have rules on late arrival and noise controls. Another inconvenient situation would be, unexpected maintenance expenses. When we live in a house, if any damages occurred, we would plan to fix in a later time where, that we will have money, but when in an apartment maintenance expenses are requested then and there, this would not be suitable for whom those are carrying out an economical lifestyle.

Another advantages of owning and living in a house is, it can be customizable according to our custom requirements where it is not possible with apartments.

In summary, there are plenty of positive options in living in a house, many people go for the apartments due to lack of enough financial power.

Hello!

There is one problem with this essay - and unfortunately it's a massive one! You have compared living in a house that you own with living in a rented apartment. You have completely igonred the common situations of living in a rented house and living in an apartment that you own.

Your first main paragraph stands, but the second and third are totally irrelevant.

Grammar is good, with relatively few mistakes and a good range of structures.

All the best,
David
