The growth in urban populations means more and more people tend to live in apartments, but there are many who still prefer to live in houses. I think when compared with apartments, there are more benefits than drawbacks to living in houses.

Houses usually have yards where children can play and small gardens can be maintained. This makes them very suitable for larger families. In addition, people living in houses often enjoy better privacy and less noise because there are far fewer neighbours. Nevertheless, the costs of maintaining a house, from utility bills to air conditioning to security, almost always exceed those of living in an apartment. This is why even fans of living in houses tend to have second thoughts when deciding on where to live.

Apartments, on the other hand, are usually safer as most apartment buildings have guards and CCTV security systems, besides the fact that the many neighbours keep an eye 
on each other’s residences. Nevertheless, most apartments have few or no south-facing windows, resulting in less light penetrating the interior and rendering their residents prone to depression and vitamin D deficiencies. It is also difficult to customise an apartment to the needs of a family since any structural changes can potentially affect the whole building.

I personally value privacy and silence above all other factors when choosing accommodation. Therefore, I believe a house is a much better place to live, especially for families with children and the elderly who need more peace and quiet. I also believe most citizens nowadays, especially the middle class, earn enough to be able to afford the costs of life in houses.

The diagram given illustrates how gold sales in Dubai fluctuated over a period of 12 months. Overall,
gold sales in Dubai remained relatively unchanged in 2002.

It is observed that in the first month of 2002, gold sales stood at 200 million dirhams and rose slightly
to reach about 225 million in February. This was followed by another increase, although much steeper,
in March when sales were almost 125 million dirhams higher than February. However, this upward
trend was suddenly broken and sales plummeted dramatically over the next 4 months to reach a little
over 100 million dirhams in July. August sales showed a significant rise back to January levels as figures
nearly doubled, but this was not to last as they dropped again in September to the same level as they
were in July. October came with a small increase of about 100 million dirhams in sales, after which sales
figures levelled off and remained relatively static over the last two months of 2002.

To Sum up, sales were at their highest in March while the weakest sales figures could be observed in
July and September.
