         <description><![CDATA[<div>Dan<br>Terka<br>Living in a flat in the centre of the city has as many advantages as disadvantages. Firstly, we can talk about advantages. Buying a flat is usually much cheaper than buying a house. We can rent the flat if we don’t have much money or if we are not planning to stay here for the rest of our lives. The flat is also a good option for students, who are studying at the university and don’t want to live in a dorm, where everything is very loud, and they want to have some personal space. In a summer season we don’t have to cut the grass in front of your door and in a winter season we don’t have to throw away the snow. Big shops, theatres and cinemas are close to us if we are into spending our time with our friends or family. Secondly, I would like to mention some disadvantages. Flat is not usually as big as a house. Living in a flat is not that calm because of the traffic and sometimes because of noisy neighbours. The neighbours are living next to us, and this point can make us feel not comfortable. It is also almost impossible to organise a party at home because we can’t play the music very loud. Flat doesn’t have any garden so we must be pleased with balcony. Especially at the evenings is hard to find a parking place outside.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Kája<br>David<br>Comparing living in the center of a city and the outskirts of city<br>When you are supposed to compare outskirts and center of town, from point of living in one, you aren't looking only on house or flat, at least in most of cases its house and flat. But there is naturaly more to it. There are suroundings, such as beauty of both nature and city. In house you have more privacy, space but it comes with more work around it. And there is usualy one more major dawnback, availabity of sources. When you live in flat, you have all things around you, whitch also goes with eventful vicinity. In averege Its easier to live in flat then in house, incouding all sorts of problems. I would say its in the end only on preferecion and budget of invidual.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Eliška</strong></div><div><br>Home safety is really important, like - imagine living in your home in fear. Some things are helping us to live safe, careless lifes in our homes, for exaple - locks. This is a “must have” option, you can lock your doors and feel safe, because you know that nobody’s gonna break in. However, some people know how to effortlessly break in without you knowing, so you better set up your cameras or alarms around your house/apartment. There are some “improved” locks, like some are scanning your fingerprint or some are with codes and built-in cameras.&nbsp;</div><div>If you have a house, it should be fenced. You don’t want any strangers walking on your property without your knowing or some run-away dog that could be potentially aggressive to attack your family or ruin your property. There are concrete fences that are safer than usual ones, they are taller and non see thru. If you have one of the basic fences, you should get some bushes or trees to cover your garden.<br>Safety is also about your location, apartments/houses in cities are tend to be more in bigger danger that houses in villages or outskirts. People in cities usually live as “head on head”, so these cases are happening more often.</div>]]></description>
