Do you like spending time at home? When you were a child, what kind of a home did you live in? What did you like or dislike about it? What's your best or worst memory from that home? What's your ideal home: flat, studio, cottage, or castle? Why? What part of your country would you ideally like to live in?

Different people spend their time in different ways. Some people like camping and hiking. Other people like shopping and bowling. But most people like spending their time at home. This way of spending time has one important advantage – it doesn’t need a lot of money. I like spending time in this way. There are many activities at home, such as reading books, watching TV, browsing the Internet, self-education, etc.

I like to be at home when I'm not at work. Before I came to America, I lived in Ukraine. I lived in a big restaurant. My workday lasted sixteen hours, but I was off the next day. That schedule was good for me because I had a lot of things to do at home. I liked to clean the house, wash and iron clothes, cook and bake for my family. I worked in my vegetable garden with pleasure also. I grew fruits and vegetables. Now I live in Sacramento, I'm a little old but I haven't changed. I live with my son's family. In the morning when they go to work, I like to be alone at home. My day begins with prayer and I read the Bible. This Book gives me advice, gives me rules and teaches me how to live in this world. I like to study and do my homework when no one disturbs me. In my front yard, there are rose bushes. I grow different flowers and care for them. I prepare food with love for my family, I also invite my friends and relatives over for dinner. I like to spend time at home.

My family mostly likes to spend free time outside. We like to relax near lakes and forest that are around Sacramento aria. We like nature but not always can we be spending time outside. Sometimes because of bad weather other times studying and working then we have to stay at home. Spending time with family is important. It helps build the relationships. We like to watch good movies and have nice supper together .I enjoy reading a book and cooking.

I can’t say exactly I like spending time at home or not. Sometimes I like it, sometimes not. It can depend from my mood or from my wife. I don’t like to see her at home when she has bad mood. I have already studied to get along with her when she stands not on that foot, but sometime it bothers. Maybe I like to spend time at home alone. I like to use the internet or study English. But is something that I like to do with my family very much. This is time that we spend watching some interesting movie. We sit together in front of TV, I hug my children, and all our family enjoys. Recently we watched the very interesting movie:” Chronicles of Narnie”. It was a really grade time. We become closer when spend some time together. So, my liking of spending time at home depends on what I will do there. When I was a child I lived at the duplex. I liked my home because it was located on the center of my village and it was convenient. There were not many neighbors near it . Even though my home was a little small, I spent my best child’s and married years there. My memory is that- how I spent the time in my home. I’d like to live at the cottage in the forest. I don’t know what my country is because I live in the USA and I still like and remember my homeland. I like Sacramento, but I would like to; live on Florida, maybe. In my country I would like to live in Karpaty. I like fresh air and forests.

I love spending time at home. Mostly I like to read books in silence. I grew up in a beautiful house in Bucharest. It was a house with five bedrooms and a large living room. But it was also a beautiful backyard. I really liked that house. The most beautiful memories there are related to Christmas. Refers to two things: the smell of bread prepared by my mother and the heat in the house when I saw snow on the window. These two memories will never erase from my mind. Ideal home for me, is a two-store house. Downstairs have a living area, kitchen and dining room and upstairs bedrooms. I like the bedrooms, to be separated from other rooms. A very important thing is that to have a large yard. I can’t choose any part of my country where I would like to live. Here in the U.S., I’d like to live in southern California. I love the ocean and the beach and very important, I like palm trees.

I like to spend time at home because when I'm getting tired i like to sleep on my bed. I like to be at home and sometimes my kids are telling me that I'm homesitter. When i were a child i was living not a really good house but a good one. My parents wasn't rich and we didn't have a lot of money to buy a new house. I like about my house that we had not that much kids and everyone had his or her own room. I dont like big houses because you always have to clean it and its hard to clean it because its big. My country has a lot of new houses and not that much old houses because our government gave houses to people who had a lot of kids.

Yes, I like to spend time at home. I work every day and also study all day on weekends so I'd rather be at home. I take two weekend days Saturday and Sunday to clean my house, cook something delicious for my family, wash my clothes, do my homework and also rest. On the day when I'm doing homework I like to listen to music and at night when I'm already in my bed I like to watch TV, I love watching action movies. I always see three movies in a row and sleep too late but I'll get up at 9:30 in the morning.

Some people prefer to spend their free time out door. Other people on the other hand, would rather spend their leisure time indoor. I always like to use of my time for improving my level of education, but sometimes I can’t because I have two children and must take care of them .I like spending time at home ,because I have lots of fun and hobby. At home, I can make foods, cookies, clean my home and watch the T.V, do my homework and read story. But my children like to go hiking and shopping. When I was a child, I used to see American movies .I liked to live in cottage in farm, but we lived in a house .We used to change our house a lot, because my father’s job was to build houses and sale them for making money. I liked to move in to new house, but I tired of rearranging the furniture. After that I was teenager. At that time,I liked to live in a castle like a princess, because I believed that we are the best and should live in castle .I grew up and understood in my dream. We can’t live it. We must thinking really .Today I want to live simple .because I find happiness in another things, like helping all the people and I want to become helpful for family and society. Thanks God who showed me the right way.

I am more out gouging type off person but I sure do like to spend time at my house .We have remodeled this house about two years ago and now we have everything that we need in it for our own comfort . My favorite place in it is the craft/office room. Here I am spending most of my time doing crafts, scrap booking, painting, and drawing and much more …. I often have my friends coming over to do some fun craft projects together. Beside that I love the rest of the house because we have rebuilt it, decorated and furnished is as we like. And it turned out great. For now we don’t spend a lot of time outdoors because it rainy, but I am sure do look forward to sunny days and worm weather. I can’t wait to start entertaining in our back yard. Just because you love your house so much dose not mean that you have to stay in it all the time .Bu I am sure do can say that I live in ideal house right now than I had when I was I child

Yes, I like to spend my time at home with all my family. When I was a child, I and my family lived in the house. It was very good time for me. My family is very friendly; probably that is why I wanted to be at home. I had many friends and they visited my home and I visited their home. We spent time very good. Many years ago in my country it was not very difficult to build a house. As soon as people married, they usually bought some land and built a house. In my home we usually had a lot of work in the house and in the yard; but I liked this because it kept me busy. I really liked to live in the house I had. Now I am living in the apartment and it is completely different life compare to the house. I do not have many rooms, just one bedroom. However, I still like, it less cleaning work. I have 2 kids and this is different life from that when I was a child. All my marriage life I am in the USA so it is hard for me to say in what part of my country I would like to live.

I like to spend my time at home , when I have that time so I could spend it at home , because I spend most of my time at work back there in my country Iraq , I work as a civil engineer which its take too much of my time , I leave my house at 6 in the morning and I dont get back home until 8 at night and sometimes more than that . So I dont that much of a time to spend at home , but at weekends I spend it at home , finish what its required at home , what ever is broken or need some repairs , I do it by my self , its like one of my hobbies to finish whatever is going on at home by myself .

Sometimes I like spending time at home, but I like to work on something when I’m home. Actually last week I spent my whole time at home because I quitted my last job and I’m going to star my new Job on March 28th. When I was thirteen years old I liked staying home and to watch movies and sometimes even cartoons, two year later I started liking to stay at home to do my homework and to play games at home with my family. Four years later I no longer enjoyed staying at home I just wanted to go around the neighborhood. Right now I like to spend time at my job and mostly I like to spend time with my wife. It doesn’t matter if we’re home or out shopping. I like to live in normal house, not too big and not too small. I like to have my own house with back a yard and I also like to have a dog. I currently live in a small one-bedroom apartment and I still enjoy living in it.

To answer this question I think I frist must answer another question which I think is related; to happeness. I must rewind to twelte to thirteen years ago. Since I have merried my wife and I have gotten to know eachother well. We share every minutes, and enjoy it as well with our kids. Even when we go to work my wife and I keeping communication. We talk about who will pick up the kids and what we will do after they are picked up sametimes we meet in a place, and time to drive home together. Other times we go to eat or the park with the kids ,Other times we come home and my wife makes us dinner. We sit at the dinner table and talk about our days; after dinner we work on homework. I also will help do dishes and clean the kitchen. After helping the kids and my wife I like to wash a soccer game or the news. This is my relaxing time when my wife and I coddle. On weekend will most likely bby she loves to cook mexican food. She is a great cook. Also on the weekends we will stay home and enjoy the day. Sametimes we play candyland with the kids. They love boargames I love spending time at my home and enjoy it very much so. Ifeel it is very rich spending time at my home.

I enjoying spending time at home because it is the time that I get to spend with my wife. When I was a child, my home was full of people and it was never boring. Besides having 4 brothers and 3 sisters, friends always came over to our house. It was fun and it is the best memory from my childhood home. We played outside a lot and had a lot of games. We were a very close and always supported each other. My ideal home is a cottage somewhere in the forest where I will have my own river and will be able to relax. This is my ideal home because I like the quietness of nature. It is stressful in the city where you are always on the run. I would like a home somewhere in the country. A cottage in the country sounds just about right.

I like to spend my time at home. When I was a child I lived in a house. What I liked about my old house is that my aunt’s house was next our house and every day I was playing with my cousins. And my school was just accrues the street so I don’t need a bus or someone walking me from school to home or home to school .what I didn’t like about my old home is was very close to the light rail and was very noisy. I was there sense I was born so all my friend and my neighbors in there I was known them and all knew. me I was there for 18 years, so every think was a good memory. The bad memory there was that some people was trying to kidnap me many times and many of my friend was killed there and my father got killed too at the same time the people who killed my father wanted to kill me too for what reason no body know until now. I like to live in normal house like no sharing things with neighbors or noisy neighbors, I wild like to have a back yard and front garden, I love gardens, I wild like to have a big garage

Yes,I like spending time at home I Think theres no place like home you can do whatever you want in your home,in my case when I am not at work or school I prefer to be at home rather than out that way I can take advantage of time at home like studying,cleaning,fixing,etc.When I was a child I shared the room with my brother I mean that was ok but I am a more independent person I need a place just for me,the problem was sharing the room,but now its totally different I have my own house and my own space I feel so much better now than when I was

I like spending time at home. First of all I'd like to say that all of us have our own ideas and dreams about a perfect home, because "home" can't mean the same to everybody. But I'm sure that for all people home is not just a place to live in. Home is your little world where you live according to your own rules and interests. It's a place where you feel comfort, warmth and reliability. In my opinion home always awakens the best feelings and high emotions in people's souls. But what an ideal home is everybody decides for himself. I imagine the house of my dream in such a way: it's a two-storied but not a large brick house with a red gable roof, fenced by a hedge. A narrow path leads to front steps by the both sides of which there are small nice flowerbeds. When you come in through the front door you find yourself in a spacious hall with a wide staircase, on one side of which there are potted plants. I'd like to have five or six rooms. In the sitting-room I want to have a fireplace near which I can spend long winter evenings sitting in a rocker and listening to pleasant music or sipping coffee. I would like, that around of my house grew a fur-trees and a pines, and near from house flows a small fine, but very fast river. In general I would like to live somewhere in mountains.

I like spending some time at time. My ideal home is castle because it is beautiful , big , and I feel happy in there. I like to live in Hawaii. This is very beautiful place. The weather is very warm and sometimes is hot. There are people can sleep even in the bushes because there are not dangerous. There are not poisonous insects and animals. That is why I would like to live there.

I love spending time at home and outside. If the weather is beautiful, not too cold outside, I like to go shopping, take a walk in the park. I like to go to watch a good movie with my family. Also I like to read interesting books, and I like to listen to music. I have two kids and I like to spend my free time together. When I was a child, I spent my free time with my sisters. We were very friendly. It was very good time for me.

There is staying in the Russia "My home is my fortress".That is mining that only at your own home you could feel relax and protect from out-siding stressful life.And only at home you can keep you privacy.I love to spend my free time with my family at home.I get from home every day of the week because i work and study.I work in the big department store where always crowd and noisy and that is the reason to spending time at home.I like relax and get rest on my couch,read the book or watch TV,or just chat with my husband and daughter.When i was a little girl i us to live with my parents and my sister in the house.My sister and i had an own room in it.There were our own furnisher staff and toys.We played together and there where very good times on our life.I loved to spending time at home in my childhood!Also we had our own backyard were we could play.All my life i lived in the houses,before i came to the U.S. Right now i live in the apartment but anyway i like it because i can have my privacy.It is most better to be at home when is rainy outside you can drink tea and watch TV.And it is better when is fireplace in the house.And whatever you go on the vacation it is always good to return back to your home!

I love spending time at home with my family or my friends. When I was a child I was living in a village in a house. I like everything about it. I like how we were playing with my neighbors outside every day long. I like that that time we didn’t spent much time inside of the house we were staying outside mostly of the time. We were helping our parents with the garden also with the animals. We were having tasks to do, here I think now children don’t have anything to do. They just watch TV or to play games on computer. My ideal home is somewhere where is quiet and peaceful near a lake and close to my relatives and friends.
