:Model Answer
Thanks a lot for this great cue card topic. I am going to talk about a house that one of my cousins have recently purchased. I will tell where it is located, who bought this house, how it looks like and about my impression of this house
My cousin Andrew who has bought the house is a doctor and he had been planning to own a house ever since he got married. Finally, he bought a new house in (… say an area name…) and a few months ago I visited this residence. This is an emerging area in the city and a number of housing projects are still ongoing. It takes around an hour to reach there from the National Art Gallery – which is located at the zero-point of the city. So in terms of its location, it’s situated in a convenient area as it is adjacent to the city centre and yet free from busy city life. As I have noticed during my last visit, many government agencies, two private universities and a few private organisations have been relocated to this area
Andrew’s house is a two storey modern house and it occupies around 5000 square feet area in total. It has a small garden in front of it which makes it even more beautiful. On the ground floor, it has three bedrooms, a guest room, a dining room, a large kitchen and a small playground while the first floor has four large bedrooms – each with an attached bathroom, and a hall room. The spacious living and dining rooms have gorgeous marble floors and the Andrew took professional advice of an interior designer
My first impression of the house was quite excellent. As soon as I reached there, I felt that an individual house is way better than an apartment in a large building. I wish we have had such a house instead of our apartment in a busy street in the city! The house is very beautiful and it looks quite attractive. I am sure my cousin and his family enjoy living there
