LIVING THE HIGH LIFE

Have you ever dreamed of living in a top-floor flat? There are several pros and cons to think before moving to a sky-high residence.

One scientifically proven advantage is that the top floor is warmer in winter. Heat rises, so if you're in a cold climate you'll probably pay less for the heating bills. Just turn down the thermostat and let the downstairs neighbours keep you warm.Also the higher up you live, the brighter it is, so apart from 1________, letting in the sunlight will help warm your flat and keep the heating bills even lower. Of course, an advantage in winter can become a disadvantage in summertime. Your place may feel like an oven, while those living on lower floors are feeling cool.

But there is another advantage. If you're looking for peace and quiet, a top-floor flat may be the best choice. At least 2_______ stomping around over your head, or early risers falling out of bed at 5 a.m. The downside of this is that you have to be careful not to make much noise youself. You'd be suprised what your downstairs neighbours can hear, 3_______ or hoovering the floors at a time when your neighbours may still be sound asleep.

One more plus of living high up is the fact that you are safer from break-ins. Most burglars are looking for a quick way in and out and 4_______ . Living higher up can protect you from other dangers as well. For example, floods- which can definitely affect lower floors and sometimes cause extensive damage- will never reach your place. On the other hand, 5_______ , it will probably be more difficult for you to escape, and rescuers may have a harder time getting to you.

There is more thing to consider before deciding to live in a top-floor apartment. People who suffer from a fear of heights might not want to live too high up. You may think you'll get used to it, but there is some evidence that people who live in places 6______ tend to suffer more from anxiety than those on the lower floors. And what's the point of having a great view if you're unable to look out of your windows because of your nervousness?
