Describe a house or apartment you would like to live in
You should say:
where this house or apartment would be
what it would look like
when you would like to live there
and explain why you would like to live in such a place
ANSWERS
Today I am going to share with you a description of my ideal apartment that I would like to live in. Since I live in a big city, it is probably more convenient to buy a condo in a building complex.
I prefer a cozy place, so, I would expect it to be not too big, about 90 to 100 square meters, with 2 bedrooms and 2 balconies. In my opinion, this size is perfect for a small family of parents and one child. When it comes to cleaning the house, you would not feel discouragedby all the chores you have to do.It would be great if my apartment overlooked [1] a river or bridge, and it should be located
on a high floor like the 10th or above. As a person who loves color and nature, I would decorate my house with a lot of paintings and plants. I would make a hanging garden in one of my balconies [2] and put small chairs and tables out, so that I could sit there and enjoy my small garden. I would use yellow -tinted bulbs and lamps all over the apartment to make it cozier.
If I got the chance [1], I would love to make my dream apartment become a reality as soon as possible, because I have always wanted to move out of my parents’ Owning an apartment would allow me to do whatever I want, whenever I want.
