Describe a house or an apartment where you live.
You should say:
- what type of house/apartment it is
- who you live with there
- how large it is
and explain how you feel about living in this house/apartment.
[Instruction: You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you are going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish.]
Model Answer:
I wish that I could say, I am very excited to describe the place where I live, apparently because I don’t really like it here that much. But, still, I will try my best to describe this place – an apartment that is – as per the requirements of this topic.
Now, you are probably wondering why I am being so negative about the apartment where I live with my parents and a couple of my siblings. Before I answer that question, please allow me to describe this apartment a little.
First of all, this apartment is quite large – probably as large as almost 4,000 square feet – without 6 balconies. Now, imagine, how large it can really become if you add those balconies to that 4000 square feet area. Sometimes, it looks like a mini football stadium to me, except that it has 5 small “partitions” in it, which we call rooms, 4 bathrooms, and a vast dining area with a huge kitchen. And as far as the color of the painting inside this apartment is concerned, it looks so obsolete. Then, of course, the lesser I talk about its widows, the better it is since they (the windows) look like some round mirror attached to the walls in a rather peculiar way. However, the only good thing about this apartment, located in a rather busy area, is its fireplace which isn’t only nicely designed but can also radiate heat all around the place rather quickly and efficiently.
By now, I guess you already know why I am so pessimistic about the apartment in which I live. I don’t particularly appreciate living here, mainly because it looks too big. In fact, it would be better if it was being used as some “office”. I don’t like living here, also because this apartment is always noisy all around it.
