@ Wanted a roommate (homework for ESOL class)

I am 45 years old and a journalist.  I usually get up early at 6 A.M to go to work and come back home around 11 or 12 P.M. I enjoy drinking a little with others but dislike having a noisy party especially at my home. I like watching all kinds of movies - especially human dramas, and listening to every genres of music except heavy metal sounds. During weekends, I used to go playing golf in Korea, but now in USA I often go to museums in D.C or historical sites near VA with my family. I like touring but I was too busy in Korea to enjoy it before. Now in VA, I had a lot of great pleasure to look around many places in USA and Canada. Lastly, I cannot but say that my worst habit is smoking. Actually I tried to quit smoking a number of times but failed. I must not be self-control in that part.

I like a roommate who is tidy and clean, because I dislike living in a messy house. I like friends enjoying wines and music but not loud parties in a house. I like a person who is humorous and enjoys jokes but not too much talkative one. I try to be considerate to others and vice versa. A person enjoying sports like golf, tennis and ski will be welcomed. Smokers are OK if they smoke outside of the house.

Generation Y, also known as the Millennial Generation (or Millennials),[1][2] Generation Next,[3] Net Generation,[4] Echo Boomers,[5] describes the demographic cohort following Generation X. As there are no precise dates for when the Millennial generation starts and ends, commentators have used birth dates ranging somewhere from the mid-1970s[6] to the early 2000s.[7] Members of this generation are called Echo Boomers, due to the significant increase in birth rates through the 1980s and into 1990s, and because many of them are children of baby boomers.[8][9][10][11] The 20th century trend toward smaller families in developed countries continued,[12][13] however, so the relative impact of the "baby boom echo" was generally less pronounced than the original boom.
Characteristics of the generation vary by region, depending on social and economic conditions. However, it is generally marked by an increased use and familiarity with communications, media, and digital technologies. In most parts of the world its upbringing was marked by an increase in a neoliberal approach to politics and economics.[14] The effects of this environment are disputed.[15][16]
