What are the advantages and disadvantages of town life?

Disadvantages: Expensive – Living in the city comes at a premium for some people that means living in congested places.
MY TINY MOBILE HOUSE
LEVEL 1: Describe the type of house and WHERE it is located.
LEVEL 2: Talk about the amenities of the house.
LEVEL 3: Describe the advantages and disadvantages of living in this house.
Have you ever thought of living in 200 ft2?
My house is a very special place. It is not just a tiny house, but a mobile one, that can travel all around and be parked in the wild nature.
Although this house might seem like a doll’s house, it has all the amenities you can imagine: a beautiful library, a cozy living room, two bedroom areas, a convenient kitchen and a full bathroom, shower included.
Some of the advantages of living in this amazing house are that you have the freedom to travel and live wherever you want. You also do not spend as much as you would in a bigger house in bills or even decoration.
On the other hand, although it is an affordable option, some of the disadvantages are that cannot invite many people in and you do not have a big storage area to keep your things.
However, it is a very funny and creative way to live. Would you like to try?
