Model Answer 1:
In my rooftop, I usually perform my reading and writing tasks. The place is just 
above my room in which house I live in Port Elizabeth. 
My grandfather established the house and hence the house is old fashioned. 
But that has become a blessing for me. Due to the fact that it is an old-
fashioned house, there are lots of empty spaces there. The house owns a large 
garden and a spacious roof located on the third floor. With the permission of 
my parents and other family members, I have made a room of my own at the 
roof and use that only for study. The surrounding environment is beautiful and 
the windows allow me to look at the bright sky whenever I come to the room 
for reading or writing purposes. The room is located in a corner of the roof so 
that the other people could use the roof for their respective purposes. 
Thereby, now I am grateful to my grandfather for making the house in an

antique style.
When I was a kid, I was sent to a boarding school. During the vacations, I used 
to visit home for two or three weeks. It was a daily routine for me to play with 
my cousins in the garden. Often we played hide and seek whereas the roof was 
the perfect place to hide. Gradually, when I grew up and left my school, I 
thought that the roof would be a nice place for me to set a reading room 
where I can pass my days and nights. Accordingly, I took initiatives. The roof 
was large in size and it was empty entirely. So, I planned to make a small 
garden and a room for me. But I also applied conditions that the room would 
be opened for all and at any time of the day. Thus, everyone agreed with my 
proposal. 
When I come to the small room on the roof, I feel better. It helps me to feel 
myself. The room has a small desk with a chair, a rocker, a bed, a personal 
computer, and a bookshelf. Sometimes I read books sitting on the rocking chair 
and often I lie on the bed if I feel sleepy during the book reading hours. Often I 
write on the desk using pens and papers. The bookshelf has a vast collection. 
Most of the books belong to my father and grandfather. I read books on 
different subjects as there are books on history, novel, adventure and more 
others. Often my cousins come here to enjoy movies and I also accompany 
them.
This is like a small heaven for me. I can see the entire sky when I come here. 
The bustles of a city are absent here. The entire environment is peaceful here. 
When the flower plants spread a wild smell, it makes me amazed. Besides, 
during the moonlit night, the environment turns wonderful and reading 
becomes easier. I can pay attention in such nights and the surrounding 
environment also enables me to write several literary pieces. I try reading 
books at the day times and during the midday it appears that I am alone in this 
universe for the unimaginable silence. Usually, I write at night and my writing 
table becomes flooded with the light of the moon. In a word reading and 
writing in this room is a heavenly experience for me.
