I live in a two storey detached house. It contains 4 bedrooms, a store room, a large hall attached with dinning room and a kitchen. It is surrounded by a lovely garden. My house is quite convenient and cosy to stay but during summer season, rooms become very warm which I consider as a drawback. I live with my immediate family. Our house is located in a residential area within city. There are so many things to do like swimming, sight seeing, jungle safari near our community.

Thanks for sharing this answer about your home, Ree. Here are some suggestions: 1) '...large hall attached to a dining room, and a...' not, '...large hall attached with dinning room and a...'. 2) '...residential area within the city,' not, 'within city'. 3) '...sightseeing and jungle safaris...' not, '...sight seeing, jungle safari...'. Hope this helps!

I'd like to watch movie in English and to go travel abroad after pandemic. My mother's language is portuguese therefore is difficult to practice speaking. Thanks.

I live with my husband and daughter in a spacious,well-ventilated 2bhk apartment on 7th floor of a high-rise building, located in the west of the city-center. This flat is full of wide windows that make it more airy and full of natural light! I also love my cosy bedroom, where I spend most of my time after work.the area has lots of grocery shops, restaurants, gardens and school near by, because of which I shifted here 5 months back.there is nothing in here which I would ever like to change! The house is so perfect for me making my nights peaceful and days productive.

Thanks for sharing another nice answer, Shalini. Here are some tips: 1) '...on the 7th floor,' not, '...on 7th floor'. 2) '...gardens and schools nearby,' not, '...gardens and school near by'. 3) 'There is nothing here that I would ever change!' not, 'there is nothing in here which I would ever like to change!' Hope this helps you!

I live in a small home with my family. My house has two bed rooms, a kitchen with a dining table and a cupboard which is my grandmother's gift to my parents at their wedding, a living room with two-window and a rock chair where I can consume coffee and read books. Our home is in the coffee plantation, it's cosy and in a quiet neighbourhood. There are some small shops, no pubs, no restaurants. it's not convenient for my work because I have been working in HCM city that is significant distance, around 350km from my hometown. I couldn't find a good job near there but I still really love my home.

I live in a three-storey semi-detached house. It has two large bedrooms with a separate bathroom, a living room with a big window, a modern kitchen with a dining table, and a small balcony. It's light, spacious and airy but it gets drafty in the winters. I live with my parents and brother in Narela . Our house is near the railway station, in a lively neighbourhood and it is convenient for going anywhere by train but it is noisy as the railway is at the back of the house. There isn't much too do because there aren't many restaurants, clothing shops or malls only some small shops, cafe and restaurant

I live in an apartment s on the 2nd floor of a terraced house which has a balcony. I live with my friend from school. She is also a student at the University. My house has two bedrooms and a living room with study area which also has big windows and a door which opens to the balcony. The kitchen is not big but I like to spend time there, cook something delicious, and make my neighbors jealous. House is very light and cozy but the bedroom is very dark which makes me feel sleepy every time when I walking into. It also makes hard to wake up in the mornings in winter or in rainy autumn days. The house is convenient for the distance to the University where I am studying. The neighborhood is very quiet. There is a park next to the house. We like to spend a time in the park when the weather is good.

@Oxfordonlineenglish1 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing a good answer about your home, Ulduz. Here are a few corrections for you: 1) Don't capitalize 'university' unless it's part of the full proper name. 2) '...and a living room with a study area,' not, '...with study area'. 3) 'The house is very light and cozy...every time I walk into it,' not, 'House is very light and cozy...every time when I walking into'. Hope this is useful for you!

I live with my immediate family in a 4 bedroom detached apartment. It contains a big sitting room, a dining room, a study room and a not so large kitchen, we also have a terrace in front and another at the kitchen area where we sit out during the summer. My neighborhood is quiet, in the outskirts secluded from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are flowers and shrubs planted all round the area that helps to keep the atmosphere breezy at all times. Even though my house is not comfortable for work and shopping, I still love it so much because it is cozy, warm during the winter, light and airy during summer. You can always retire to a quiet cozy house after the day's stress.

@Oxfordonlineenglish1 5 жыл бұрын

Nice answer! Here are three corrections for you: 1. 'Study' not 'study room'. 2. Even though my house is not *convenient* for work or shopping... 3. Don't use a comma by itself to join two full sentences. Put a full stop and start a new sentence, use a comma plus a conjunction, or use a semicolon. Thanks for sharing your answer with us!

I'm a kid( of 10 yrs) and i live with my family of 5 (including me). I live in an big society which is near the big industrial part of the city . There are many shops near my house . It's a cosy house fit enough to fit for 7 people. It is convenient to the nearest metro and it's a bit far from my school . It's a bit cold at the night but it's good in the morning.

Hi Pawan, thanks for watching and sharing your response. Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) 'I live on the 14th storey...' not, 'I live on the 14- storey...'. 2) Is it a flat or a house? It sounds like you live in a flat, so I would say, '...spacious flat.' 3) '...a big society,' not, 'an'. Hope this helps you!
