Describe your ideal home or place to live. v. 1
Describe your ideal home or place to live. You should say: where it would be how big it would be what it would contain And explain why this kind of accommodation would attract you so much. Sample Answer 1: I must say that this is a very interesting topic to talk about. I really thank you for this nice cue card topic and the time you gave me to talk about it. Well, I like the house I currently live in but it is not the ideal home I have in my mind. My perfect home would be far away from the city crowd and pollutions. It would be quite large; to be more specific, not less than 2 acres. I would like it to be located near a small river where sweet southern breeze would flow all the time and would keep the house and its gardens fresh and airy. My imagination would go further and would want to have hills on the North and West side of this area. I will often go hiking in the hills and during the summer season, I will enjoy camping. My dream house to live in would not be merely a house with bricks, but also the view and the things surrounded this house. Getting back to the house, it would be a Cottage with large rooms. The guest house would be just beside the main house. Different plants and trees would make a vista at the entrance of the house. The Spring would fill the house with a dazzling and sweet aroma of different flowers while the gardens would be a safe harbour for different birds. The ground, garden, rooms, and the whole premises would be meticulously maintained. Personally, I would love to live with my family and I would often invite my friends and relatives to have parties at our house. The open space for the barbeque party would be reserved for family parties. I would have a large library in my house and would like to have the modern technology that I find useful for myself. Modern facilities like the internet connection, satellite  phone, TV, modern household appliance, and security system would be present at my house. My living room would be large enough and the window must have a lovely view. Currently, I live with my family in an apartment in a large city. This city is quite crowded and has got large buildings, factories, buses, trains, busy people and offer almost no natural scene. I do not have any complaints about the apartment we live in but if you ask, this is not the ideal house I dream about. In my mind, the idea of an ideal house emerged when I visited a bungalow in Switzerland as a tourist many years ago. This was a remote area and the surrounding could  not have been better with the river, hills, fountain, hilly roads, natural beauty and moreover the tranquillity of nature. The location as well as the house we stayed it impressed me a lot. I thoroughly enjoyed staying there, even though this lasted only for few days, and I would like to own such a house at such a gorgeous place.   Samle Answer 2: Living under a shade is one of the basic needs for the human being. In fact, this a precondition to living on this planet that everyone should have their own home. Though I have a place to live in, I have a dream of an ideal home for me. I am lucky to describe the dream here and thank you for asking to explain the issue. Firstly, I am a nature lover. So, I want my place to be close to nature. In fact, I love to breathe in a natural environment. Fresh air revives me and provides the necessary to complete my daily tasks. But the current place I am living in is unable to provide such a calm and serene environment at all. It is filled with hustle and bustle of city life. Moreover, the entire locality is excessively crowded with people and vehicle round the day. So, there are fewer chances to spend some leisure hours peacefully. I am single and not planning to get married for next five years. So, I do not need a large home to live in. Rather, I am in a dream of a moderate place where I could accommodate my necessary belongings. I want that the place should have at least two spacious rooms with other necessary modern facilities. I have a plan that I will make a living room and a bedroom in the place. The living room will be decorated with a large bookshelf, three of four chairs or sofas, a reading table, a television set and other things. In opposite, I will set the personal computer in my bedroom. I have a single bed and the room should be spacious enough to hold my other furniture. An approximate measure would be 10 by 12 for each of the rooms. The place would contain all the necessary stuff I use in my everyday life. But the most important thing is that the location should be calm and quiet. I would prefer trees around the place. Besides, I also have a plan for pot planting inside the rooms I will live in. My current place is unsuitable for pot planting as it is devoid of sunlight. Hence, I want that place to be illuminated naturally so that I could use the daylight perfectly. Further, the place should also come with security measures. It should be able to prevent intruders. It is better if the place comes with a boundary and the house will be in the centre of the boundary. I have a dream of planting trees in each corner of the boundary wall while I will insert some plants as well on the walls of the house. This is really a dream for me to materialise. I am a writer by profession. So, I need a suitable environment to expand my imagination. This is nearly impossible to create some notable tasks in a busy and noisy environment. Hence, the necessity of a serene atmosphere is required. Besides, I am attracted to such kind of accommodation for many reasons. Firstly, living in such a calm and quiet place helps to bring a satisfaction of mind. It also expands the mental faculty and as a result, the imaginations become free to move. The fiction plots are found. Besides, being an introvert in nature, I love to lead an isolated life. Such a place will ensure the isolation. Considering the issues, such accommodation system attracts me much.

Answer
2: Living
under a shade is one of the basic needs for the human being. In fact, this a precondition to
living
on this planet that everyone should have their
own
home. Though I have a
place
to
live
in, I have a
dream
of an
ideal
home for me. I am lucky to
describe
the
dream
here and thank you for asking to
explain
the issue.

Firstly
, I am a
nature
lover.
So
, I
want
my
place
to be close to
nature
. In fact, I
love
to breathe in a natural
environment
. Fresh air revives me and provides the
necessary
to complete my daily tasks.
But
the
current
place
I am
living
in is unable to provide such a calm and serene
environment
at all. It
is filled
with hustle and bustle of city life.
Moreover
, the entire locality is
excessively
crowded with
people
and vehicle round the day.
So
, there are fewer chances to spend
some
leisure hours
peacefully
.

I am single and not planning to
get
married for
next
five years.
So
, I do not need a
large
home to
live
in.
Rather
, I am in a
dream
of a moderate
place
where I could accommodate my
necessary
belongings. I
want
that the
place
should have at least two spacious
rooms
with other
necessary
modern
facilities. I have a plan that I will
make
a
living
room
and a bedroom in the
place
. The
living
room
will
be decorated
with a
large
bookshelf, three of four chairs or sofas, a reading table, a television set and other things. In opposite, I will set the personal computer in my bedroom. I have a single bed and the
room
should be spacious
enough
to hold my other furniture. An approximate measure would be 10 by 12 for each of the rooms.

The
place
would contain all the
necessary
stuff I
use
in my everyday life.
But
the most
important
thing is that the location should be calm and quiet. I would prefer trees around the
place
.
Besides
, I
also
have a plan for pot planting inside the
rooms
I will
live
in. My
current
place
is unsuitable for pot planting as it is devoid of sunlight.
Hence
, I
want
that
place
to
be illuminated
naturally
so
that I could
use
the daylight
perfectly
.
Further
, the
place
should
also
come
with security measures. It should be able to
prevent
intruders. It is better if the
place
comes
with a boundary and the
house
will be in the
centre
of the boundary. I have a
dream
of planting trees in each corner of the boundary wall while I will insert
some
plants as
well
on the walls of the
house
. This is
really
a
dream
for me to
materialise
.

I am a writer by profession.
So
, I need a suitable
environment
to expand my imagination. This is
nearly
impossible to create
some
notable tasks in a busy and noisy
environment
.
Hence
, the necessity of a serene atmosphere
is required
.
Besides
, I
am attracted
to such kind of accommodation for
many
reasons.
Firstly
,
living
in such a calm and quiet
place
helps
to bring a satisfaction of mind. It
also
expands the mental faculty and
as a result
, the imaginations become free to
move
. The fiction plots
are found
.
Besides
, being an introvert in
nature
, I
love
to lead an isolated life. Such a
place
will ensure the isolation. Considering the issues, such accommodation system attracts me much.
