Model Essay(范文):
Even though I have lived in the same house, in the same neighborhood, in the same citymy entire life. I know I would be happy living in a variety of place. Moving would expose meto new people, new weather, and new housing.
Even if I were to move to another part of my city, I would encounter new people. Eachneighborhood has a distinct personality. When I move to that neighborhood, I would meet theshopkeepers and residents that shape that personality. I may even adopt part of there manneras my own so I could be recognized as part of that community.
If I want to encounter different weather patterns, I would have to move beyond my city. Where I live now, it is the same temperature all year, I would like to go to a place wherethere are four seasons so I can experience really cold temperatures. I would like to walk in thesnow and perhaps go skiing. I could learn winter sports if I lived in the north.
Now of course, I live with my parents in their home. It is a one story house built around acourtyard where our family spends a lot of time. If I were to move, I would like to live in anapartment on a very high floor so I could see all around me. I could also meet my neighbors inthe elevator and we could get together for coffee in my apartment.
The more I move the more I would experience change. I would meet new people in everyplace I lived; I could move to sample countries with four seasons or even a continent likeAntarctica which only has two. Wherever I lived, I would experience living in housingparticular to that area. I would then be a citizen of the world, wouldn’t I? Could you call me aforeigner if I called everyplace my home?
