My Reason

I would like to choose Jin Mao building in Shanghai because this building are very beautiful and there is has a theme of Chinese Pagoda although there are the third tallest in the world. They still used pattern of traditional building and that building symbol architecture of Shanghai marching to 21st century and it is a wonderful place with their symbol of country. From this building, I can see whole view of Shanghai when I was the on there. Because of that, I can see view of Shanghai even I can’t travel all the town of Shanghai. One of advantage at the building that is has an earthquake safety and if I could travel there, and not worried when I in the Jin Mao building. That building has a many facilities I can get it without go to any place and I can spend time at the building for a lot of time.

My dream house.

My dream house is a pattern of house village because it’s a unic pattern but I would like to combine with modern house in the middle of house. My dream house will located at village but not far from town. I love to make house from great plank and there is two floor. Outside the house still used the pattern of village but inside will make the modern house. Landscape of my house I would like to make a garden with full flower at many type and at the back I garden full of plantation such as mango, rambutan, grape, cucumber, tomatoes, banana, chilies and other. So, I do not to buy it because I can pick up at my garden. At the front my house, I will make court to make sure every evening I can play with my family and go exercise everyday. My house has an eight room because I have a big family. At the second floor has a six room, and another room at the first floor. My living room at the first floor. At my living, have a television, radio and magazine. The other room, I can make a library to make sure my family love to read. I hope my dream will come true.
