Questions & Sample Answers
I live in a small apartment near my college in Canada. It's pretty cozy and a stone's throw from campus, which saves me a ton on commuting. Since I'm a student, I can't really afford anything bigger, but honestly, I don't mind it for now.
I can see a parking lot and some trees. Nothing too exciting, honestly. But in winter, when everything is covered in snow, it actually looks really pretty and kind of magical. Canada gets a lot of snow, so for a few months, it's like looking out at a winter postcard.
In the long run, I'd love to settle down in a modern condo that overlooks the Rideau Canal or the Canada River. Something with big windows and an open-plan kitchen where I can call a place home. I dream of a space where I can really relax and cook Vietnamese food when I'm homesick.
In the long run, maybe not permanently. I'd like to explore other cities in Canada and beyond. But Canada has become a place I can call home for now. I'd love to settle down somewhere eventually with a nice cozy place of my own.
