The heat of the summer is not a problem for a good house. The ideal dwelling definitely must have a dependable central air conditioner[[Very arguable in many regions of the world! Certainly not too much use in Siberia]. When the place [a country/a region] is abundant with tornadoes and hurricanes, a house must be a safe place to stay.

Nothing can be replaced by [replace] a home, and cannot be destroyed or neither repaired [what cannot be destroyed or repaired?]. As Anna Quindlen points out in Homeless, “Some seem to want something that is not available in shelters, and they will not compromise, not for a coat, or oatmeal, or a shower with special soap that kills the bugs”(131).

The atmospheres of love created by the family are such a treasure. Home also creates an individual’s identity, all learning from home, even before one’s start to go to school. A home is filling [tense??}with emotions and become attach [wrong word - find one that makes sense]. Because of this attachment, losing a home is one of the greatest tragedies in life. | You need to break this into smaller paragraphs, each with a single point in it.
