PART 2 
Sample Answer
(where it is) ( what it looks like) (what features it would have)
Currently, I live in an 
apartment. But in future, I would like to live in a Villa. There's one coming up near Krater 
Ram Railway junction, and I'm eyeing on it. From the exterior, it looks like a Spanish 
bungalow. In the interior, it looks perfectly Indian. Everyone knows that a Villa would have 
facilities like the swimming pool, mini gym, private spa area, home theatre, games room, 
mini-garden, tennis court, yoga area and outdoor lounging area. Additionally, I will create 
space for a reading room.
( explain why it would be ideal for you)
I would enjoy the serenity that is inherent in the 
Villas. I would decorate my garden with rare species from the plant kingdom. In the 
mornings, I would meditate in the yoga area. In the afternoons, I would relax in the lounge or 
watch movies in the home theatre. In the evenings, I would play virtual games with the Xbox 
gaming console. On weekends, I would enjoy a relaxing head massage in the spa. I would be 
able to live in a world of my own. I would be able to sense and appreciate the tranquility of 
the space. In the apartment, you would have to approach the association for every silly thing. 
But I would reign my space in the Villa. As I think of it, I get a feel of an Empress. I guess 
that's my ideal living space.
