Explanation

There are unusual houses in the world: the Stone House in Portugal is built between huge boulders, and the Shoe House in the USA looks like a giant shoe. To say a wish politely we use would like, short form ’d like: “I’d like to live in a boat house.” Give the reason with because: “… because I love water.” Question: “Would you like to live on a boat?” — “Yes, I would.” / “No, I wouldn’t.” Would is the same for every person: “She would like”, not “She woulds like”. About another person: “Farhod would like to live in a tree house because he likes forests.”

Worked examples
“Strange homes”. Some people live in very unusual houses. In Portugal there is a house between huge boulders. In the USA there is a house like a giant shoe. In many cities people live on boats. I would like to live on a boat because I love water, but my sister wouldn’t. She would like to live in a tree house because she loves birds.
— Would you like to live in the Shoe House? — No, I wouldn’t. It’s too small for my family.
