Which of the following is most important factor to you when you are making decisions on choosing a place for living?
  1. living in a place that is not expensive
  2. living close to relatives
  3. living in an area with many shops and restaurants

Nowadays, some may hold the opinion that it’s most important that we should live close to relatives, but others have a different attitude that we should live in an area with many shops and restaurants. As far as I am concerned, I have my own opinion.
Living close to relatives is not an important factor for me to choose a place for living, because we can keep in touch with our family members by cell phones and the Internet. As we know, the purpose of choosing to live close to relatives is to promote the relationship between family members, which can be well achieved by diverse and convenient devices of communication.
　　Likewise, living in an area with many shops and restaurants is also not a crucial element in the process of choosing an apartment, since the well developed public transportation makes us have easy access to any shopping malls in a short time. What’s more, shops and restaurants are usually located in bustling downtown and the noise does harm to our rest.
Actually, the most important factor for choosing a living place is the price of the apartment, in that living in an inexpensive area can tremendously cut down the living cost and thus relieve our daily pressure. Meanwhile, the budget saved from accommodation can be put into the cultivation of personal interest.
In conclusion, I agree with the opinion that living in a place that is not expensive is the most important factor to me when I am making decisions on choosing a place for living.
