i live in an apartment.
[{"role": "system", "content": "An apartment (American English), flat (British English) or unit (Australian English) is a self-contained housing unit (a type of residential real estate) that occupies only part of a building, generally on a single level. Such a building may be called an \"apartment building\", \"apartment complex\", \"flat complex\", \"block of flats\", \"tower block\", \"high-rise\" or, occasionally, \"mansion block\" (in British English), especially if it consists of many apartments for rent. In Scotland, it is called a block of flats or, if it is a traditional sandstone building, a \"tenement\", a term which has a pejorative connotation in the United States. Apartments may be owned by an \"owner/occupier\", by leasehold tenure or rented by \"tenants\" (two types of housing tenure). The term \"apartment\" is favored in North America (although in some cities \"flat\" is used for a unit which is part of a house containing two or three units, typically one to a floor). In the UK, the term apartment is more usual in professional real estate and architectural circles where otherwise the term \"flat\" is used commonly, but not exclusively, for an apartment on a single level (hence a 'flat' apartment). Technically multi-story apartments sometimes referred to as mid-rise apartments and even high-rise apartments when there are many stories.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "i live in an apartment which is a self contained housing unit on a single level.  Do you?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "No, I live in a house with 3 bedrooms and a basement. We are in the Midwest where we sometimes get tornadoes, so basements are important!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Sounds like it!! I know they are called twisters, whirlwinds or cyclones but I have luckily never experienced one personally."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Neither have I, but there was one a town over from us. I believe they are more common in the southern half of the continent. Are there any hazardous weather conditions in your area?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "not really luckily enough.  It just tends to be quite cold 12 months of the year lol. Thats why living in an apartment is fine.  We call it a flat or a tenament where I come from but all the same thing."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Are you from Europe? I'm in the United States where we call them apartments.

I went straight from my family's home to a dormitory to a house with my husband, so I don't know what it's like."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Its fine.  I would love a proper home someday soon though.  A proper family home with a garden and everything.  Multistory apartments with many stories do not suit my vision for a family."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Do you like to garden? I've never been able to keep a single plant alive!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I would love to try!! My parents were keen gardeners so i am hoping that something may have rubbed off on me."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Do you have community gardens in Scotland? Maybe you could get a share"}]
