Read the paragraph and answer the questions that follow.
I really like the architecture of Puerto Rico, although it is very different from the typical architecture of the United States. First, because this island has a tropical climate, with frequent hurricanes and floods, the houses are all built of concrete, with no basements. Sometimes, in flood zones, houses are built on two levels: they build the carport on the first floor and the house is built on top to prevent flood damage. It fascinates me how things are so different here in the Caribbean!
Another difference that is seen is the influence of Spain in the style of the buildings, the terracotta roofs, the gardens and the bright colors. They are super-beautiful! The house where I live is very large and modern compared to the houses here. Typically, families have the same furniture for many years, sometimes decades, because everything sold on the island is imported, which is expensive. It is not common to have furniture in a contemporary style as in the United States; They are always pretty but they are different for me.
Another thing that strikes me is that the houses are painted in bright colors not only on the outside but also on the inside. I am living in a house with walls of all colors. Red, yellow, purple, orange and three shades of green ... and they are not light colors!
We don't have carpet here in Puerto Rico either. The houses are always open and the tropical climate is very much enjoyed. If rain or water got into the house, it would be difficult to dry the carpet. The rooms, instead of having carpeted floors, have them tiled. Outside, the houses have all the windows protected with bars, also the doors, the patios and the canopy have bars. I feel super safe in the houses of Puerto Rico!
The only difference, which I don't like, is that it's so humid and it's always hot, but Puerto Ricans don't usually use the air conditioning because they're used to the heat. Oh that's hot! I think that even if I lived here for ten years I wouldn't get used to it, but how easy I got used to the beaches from the first day! I'm going to miss them a lot!
