Our favorite places are my relaxing places for us. It's common for all our favorite places. We think we people need some places to be able to be calm down. But for them, we would not continue to live in Japan, because so fast time ran in Japan, especially, Tokyo. We think Japanese people work too hard. They have no time to be free. We think they need more relaxing time.

One of the best places for us is our home. TV advertising told that people spent three fourth times in their life inside, so their homes' condition ought to be so comfortable. Some people don't like to be at their home, some ones like to be at home.

We have met someone who dislikes being at home. He said it is because inside of his house is so noisy with his family talking a lot. He wanted to go out. We can't say that His home's condition is so good.

Our home should be so silent. trains should not run by our home. The trains may run near our home, but the noise should not be noisy for us. The line should be far away. We don't worry about the sound which was emitted far away, or we may be used to listen to the noisy sound. However, when our friends came to our home, they said our home was comfortable, so it is difficult for us to think it is the factor of our home condition. The good points which We are at my home are to be able to watch TV, play games, concentrate on studying...

Anyway, We can do no matter what we want to do at home. We are glad being at home. We think there is everything at home. We have never been at a loss being there. We can watch TV, play TV games, eat meals, study there. We cannot make difficulty at home. So, We think our home is the best place for us in the world.
