I’ve been living in this house since we moved to the USA. It happened two years ago. I used to live in Brazil, where I came from. We decided to move in here because my husband was transferred. I found this city pretty and safer than my former city. Also, my house is beautiful and comfortable.

I’ve been living in my apartment for the better part of one year. I used to live in the countryside, but to be honest, I found it a bit inconvenient and disorganised. I’m much happier being close to the centre of city where it is much easier to get around and the city management seems more efficient.

I’ve been living in this city for the better part of two years, I used to live here with my mother, I decided to move to another place because I found it very noisy. My new house is much better than the last one, I much prefer it because it’s quieter.
I can’t see any mistakes in your answer. Well done!
