The two texts below [or: these two texts] explore the role home plays in people’s lives.

For many home serves as a ‘safe haven’, a place where they can forget their worries, relax and indulge in whatever activities they enjoy. Furthermore, they can contemplate the events of the day either alone or discuss them with their loved ones.
Moreover, one’s home can often be a way to express one's personality. People choose their flats, furniture, decorations, books and many other things in accordance with their tastes and tendencies. Thus, seeing someone’s flat and the way they organize and fill their living space can often tell you a lot / [or: often reveal a lot] about their nature as well as their habits.

But at the same time not all people regard their homes with such attention and adoration. There are individuals who place little importance on the choice of sofas and the colour of carpets. In general, they view home as a place to store their stuff, as well as carry out [exercise sounds slightly odd] basic activities such as sleeping and eating. They tend to find other ways to express their personalities – through their public image, outfits or activities they engage in. More than that, some people consider home the most drab and dull place where nothing is going on, and do their best to spend there as little time as possible.

All in all, although for some home may be a safe and sacred place, as well as an effective way of expressing themself, you should not judge everyone by their home – it may always turn out that it means to them nothing at all.

Good, and an interesting essay, keep it up.
