1. Do you live in a house or a flat?
[观点] I currently live in a flat with my parents. [细节-描述特点] It' s a two-bedroom flat located in a quite mature community. I enjoy my life there, because all the facilities and services are available within walking distance, which means I can easily grab anything I need in just a few minutes.
其他表达:
a detached house 独立住宅
a cosy/spacious/cramped flat 一套舒适的/宽敞的/拥挤的公寓
a three-storey building 有三层楼的建筑
2. How long have you lived there?
It' s been 2 years since my family moved there. It' s a relatively new community, and we' ve spent a great time living there. I have to compliment my father on his wise choice to buy the new property.
注意完成时态的使用!
3. What do you like to do at home?
I enjoy spending some me-time(私人时间) there. Either huddling on the couch(蜷缩在沙发上) and reading by the French window or having a cup of nice coffee while playing some romantic music could be so curing(治愈的). Sometimes I also invite one or two friends to spend time with. We' ll watch some movies together and tell each other endless stories.
4. What part of your home do you like the most?
It' s definitely my bedroom, where I spend most of my time. It has all my favorite stuff in it, like comic books(漫画书), family photos and my guitar. For me, it is a private place where I can blow off steam(释放压力) and just relax.
5. Where do you want to live in the future?
Though my current accommodation is perfectly fine, I would love to experience living in a villa(别墅) once. Since it was my childhood dream to have a swimming pool and a garden of my own, a villa seems like an ideal(理想的) house for me.
