In some countries, more and more people are becoming interested in finding out about the history of the house or building they live in. What are the reasons for this? How can people research this?

In certain countries, an increasing number of people are becoming enthusiastic about researching the history of the building they live in or the house they own. Reasons for this increased interest range from identifying the worth of the house to finding out the hidden mysteries related to it. To access such information, people need to use libraries, government records, and online forums.

There is a number of reasons that can explain people’s obsession with investigating the history of the particular house. The most obvious reason can be the financial one. Those who sell houses can benefit from information related to previous owners. If they find out that a celebrity or an important family lived in this facility, the price can automatically go up. The other reason worth mentioning is the tension related to one’s household. There are stories in which people admit hearing noises and experiencing paranormal activity, an event that can encourage them to study the building’s history.

Regardless of the reason for the interest behind a desire to know more about the house, there are similar ways to access such information. The easiest platform to use would be an online forum where a person who knows the answer can help with the investigation. Another method to gain information about the house is asking government workers for access to certain records. Census data, for example, could reveal information about the previous tenants of the building. In addition to government sources, libraries could be visited to read books that can potentially reveal information about the local area and the building of interest.

In conclusion, there are specific financial and psychological reasons why one would be interested in the history of the house they live in. As the examples above suggest, there are multiple ways to find needed information about such buildings.

The table and the pie chart present information on the attendance and profitability of four sports on an annual basis. There is also a breakdown of how ice hockey generates money. In general, among four sports, baseball is the most attended, whereas football is the most lucrative. Basketball and ice hockey have the same attendance figures, but the latter has a smaller revenue.

In terms of attendance, baseball is by far the most visited with 73 million spectators per year. Football, on the other hand, is the least attended (17 million) but is the most profitable with 13 billion dollars. In comparison, basketball and ice hockey games are both attended by 22 million people but generate less money, with 5 and 4 billion dollars, respectively.

As for the financial breakdown, ice hockey makes 46% of all money through tickets. The second largest source is concessions (22%), while TV and sponsorships account for respective 19% and 13%.

Many people believe that it is easier to have a healthy lifestyle in the countryside. Others believe that there are health benefits of living in cities. Discuss both views and give your opinions.

There is a popular view that leading a healthy lifestyle is more possible in the countryside, while others claim that residing in cities is a healthier choice. Although I believe cities do have a better infrastructure related to healthcare, living in the countryside is a far healthier decision.

Villages are often believed to offer their residents a much healthier environment to live in. The countryside is not as populated as cities and usually has a closer connection to nature. People living in villages also live in houses, often working in their own gardens, meaning they are more physically active than those living in cities. Therefore, this combination of a greener, less crowded environment and more physical activity helps people in the countryside live a healthier life.

However, there are also individuals that believe an urban life offers more health benefits. They usually cite infrastructure as the main reason why people have more opportunities to be healthier. Hospitals, private clinics, gyms, parks, and public gardens can all be mentioned as facilities that any major city has. Residential areas in cities also have playgrounds and open spaces for the locals. In comparison, villages may not have these facilities, which is why there are people who support the idea that living in the city is better in terms of health.

In my view, cities often offer infrastructure that helps cure, not prevent. In a sense, cities are good for those who are sick and need to get advanced treatment. Yet, life in the countryside helps people avoid diseases and have an overall better fitness level. Even in the case of COVID-19, the world witnessed how easy it is for a virus to spread in urban areas. However, the same cannot be said of villages that are normally sparsely populated.

In conclusion, cities boast better infrastructure, especially in terms of healthcare, but it does not mean that it helps people live healthier lives. Countryside, on the other hand, offers its residents an active and remote lifestyle that is much healthier.
