Part 2

Describe a house / Apartment that someone you know lives in   You should say Whose house / apartment this is Where the house / apartment is What it looks like inside And explain what you like and dislike about this person’s house / apartment

 

Model Answer:-

Well, I have visited many traditional and modern houses in my town , I have also been to apartments also. I also live in a house owned by my father it is a traditional house with all basic amenities. If I talk about the house that I think is unique. It is Karan Villa owned by my uncle in the pose area of my hometown. It is a three storey house with all modern facilities.

My uncle visited other areas of my country to have the best ideas to build a house that does not go out of fashion for years. And finally he selected separate 3 storey. Each floor has 2 bedrooms, including kitchen and modern sanitation.

The imported wallpapers and marbles enhance the look of the house. It mesmerizes the people who see it first time. 3D floor is amazing and latest concept in India though this costs a lot. I often visit and think in my mind about the structure of the house. It is almost perfect. But I don’t like the staircase. It is too narrow only one person can move to second and third floor. The way it is built it tires sometimes. Apart from this the house is amazing.

 

 

Part 3

Different types of home

Example Questions

 

What kinds of home are most popular in your country? Why is this

Buying a good house has become expensive nowadays because of inflation and rising population in my country. Mostly people live in villages and they prefer single story traditional houses. If I talk about city dwellers they like to have modern houses. Due to lack of space in cities they build multiple storey houses.

One thing that I must mention here is that people are now shifting to modern houses because it has become a fashion in my country. Those who can afford they buy or build modern houses. Young generation is keen on possessing up-to-date housing style.

What do you think are the advantages of living in a house rather than an apartment?

Apartments are quite popular in my country and people have opted to live in. Mostly people prefer to live in houses than apartment because they have choice to build their houses in the way they want while apartments are designed according to the projects that fit plan of builders and investors. Houses can be built separately and could be designed in any way. People who live in apartments , have to follow some protocols but those who live in houses they don’t have to.

Do you think that everyone would like to live in a large home? Why is that?

The demand of big housing is growing everywhere in the world. We often see people building huge houses with many rooms though some rooms are not used. Possessing large houses have become a trend and symbol to show off. Young generation is crazy after the trends and they want to follow it anyhow. To boast among relatives and friends people are working to have big houses. I think these are some of the reasons I mentioned.

Finding a place

How easy is it to find a place to live in your country?

It is easy if you can afford, residential property is touching sky these days. Renting an accommodation is bit easier. Many builders offer houses on rent there people can live. Finding an apartment is easy in cities and mostly folks like to buy a flat in any apartment where they have all basic facilities. If I talk about rural area, prices of property is normal and people have started developing farmhouses and even they offer piece of land to make a livable.

Do you think it’s better to rent or buy a place in? Why?

Frankly speaking, people live to buy houses than living in a rented accommodation. Renting a house is thought to be against their attitude. People think that they at least own their houses than cars or any other expensive stuff. It is one of dreams people work on. Possessing a house is considered a security of future. If anybody does not own a house, he sometimes feels low among people.

Do you agree that there is a right age for young adults to stop living with their parents? Why is that?

I think, the age never comes when young people should live separately. In my culture living with parents shows character that everyone should adapt. We Indian are known as family people. it is the moral duty of every young boy and girl to live with and care of his or her parents. Some boys and girls who study or work away from their parents, have to live separately. Living with parents make us responsible and careful for the rest of the things happen in our life.
