Model Answer:
I wish that I could say, I am very excited to describe the place in which I am currently living, 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 as to why I am being so negative about the apartment in which I happen to live with my parents and a couple of my siblings. Now, before I go to answer that question, please allow me to describe this apartment a little.
First of all, this apartment is quite a large one – probably as large as almost 4,000 square feet – and that too without 6 balconies all around it. Now, imagine, how large it can really become if you add those balconies to that 4000 square feet area. Sometime, 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 huge dining area with a very large kitchen. And as far as the colour 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 kinds of round shape mirror that are 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 the heat all around the place rather quickly and efficiently.
I guess that, by now, you already got some idea as to why I am being so negative about the apartment in which I live. Yes, I don’t really like living here, mainly because it looks too big for my liking. In fact, it would be better if it was being used as some kind of “office”. I don’t like living here, also because this apartment is always noisy all around it.
