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. 
Model Answer 2:
The library is the best place to me to read and write. In fact, I use the library 
facility of the University of Science, Malaysia. This is the perfect venue for me 
to complete my academic activities. Thank you for this great question. I am 
really feeling proud to have the chance of answering the question.

The library is inside the university campus. This is one of the enriched libraries 
in the country and contains a huge number of books of diversified issues. Only 
the students are allowed to use the library facility. Besides, the environment 
inside is also outstanding. Everyone is busy with their respective activities. 
Either they are reading or they are writing but in silent mode.
I was unaware about the library facility of the university. So, after I was 
admitted to the university, I was seeking a suitable place for me to focus on my 
study. I could have done it in my own room but it there were some technical 
troubles. I had to share the room with two other mates and it was not possible 
for me to provide the right amount of attention to my studies. Thereby, I was 
looking for a suitable place. One day, while I was reading in the classroom after 
the class, one of my classmates told me about the library. He took me there 
and I came to know about the place.
Usually, I pass the day inside the library. I am in love with the place. There are 
lots of books and other reading materials. A notable number of students are 
always there to study and complete their other academic activities. In line with 
the other students, I have become a regular one to move for the library after 
the class. If I do not have anything to do, I pass my times by reading books 
inside the library. Besides, this is the place where I can find the peace of mind. 
Passing times with books helps me to understand myself. I can focus on my 
studies. I also use some reference books to get support for my assignments 
and much more. All the things are highly beneficial for me.
This is a very good place for reading and writing. First of all, this is a library 
where you can have the required silence. In some other places, the favourable 
condition to study is not available. Besides, you also can have the chances to 
explore books of various writers and interest. You do not need to buy books 
for each of your subject or course. Moreover, you can take the books home as 
well in case of necessity. Considering all the matters, I think a library is a 
perfect place for reading, writing or performing other academic activities.
