4.What do you notice about the building? Does it look lived in or abandoned? I think this house was once inhabited, but nobody lives here now. There are piles of wood beside the building, and I believe only humans are deliberate enough to gather firewood to keep warm during winter. In front of the house, there’s a small field with a fence, which suggests that someone once lived here and probably grew flowers or vegetables. However, the fence is broken and hasn’t been repaired, and there is snow everywhere—there are no paths or footprints at all. This makes me feel that no one has passed by for quite a long time. You can imagine that if someone were still living in the house, they would shovel the snow regularly and take care of the field. Since there are no fresh signs of daily activity, I believe the house was once lived in but has been abandoned for some time.
