Talk about someone you know who has moved to a new accommodation. You should say:
-who this person is
-when they moved
-where they moved
and explain whether or not the move has had a positive impact on them
I’d like to talk about a colleague of mine named Emily, who recently made a significant move to a new accommodation. Emily is a person I work with, and we’ve developed a friendship over the past few years.
She decided to make this move about three months ago – I think it was about August of this year. This decision to move was primarily for career advancement and to be closer to our workplace, which is in the heart of the city. Before, she had been commuting for almost two hours daily!
Emily’s new accommodation is an apartment in a modern complex. The area is known for its vibrant community, diverse cultural amenities and convenient access to public transportation. The apartment itself is spacious, well-furnished and provides a stunning view of the city skyline.
From what Emily has shared with me, the move has had an overwhelmingly positive impact on her life. Firstly, the reduction in commute time has allowed her to reclaim several hours each day, which she can now allocate to personal pursuits and relaxation. Moreover, the new neighbourhood has exposed her to a range of social activities and events, providing opportunities to meet new people and expand her social circle.
So overall I would say Emily’s recent move to a new accommodation has undeniably had a positive impact on her overall quality of life.
