Speaking exercise

When you buy a house, what do you look for? 

I want to buy house near GuBei, but I check their house price, maybe 100,000 per square meter. I saw a house, but it has 70 square meter. If I want to buy a new house, I must remove my name from my old house. I don’t want to pay lots of money for the house. I care about the environment and location. Of course, I really like big house with environment and location, with 3 bedrooms and big living room. But it’s very expensive. 

Next week, I will go to WuXi for skiing. I plan 2 days but other people just 1 day. Wuxi has a nice place, there is a Lingshan Budda. I have been there 3 times.
