Q.
Do many families own private cars in your country?
A.
Yes, many of the families have their own private cars in our country. But the
uses of those cars are limited. They mainly use the cars for the purposes of
travelling long distances such as visiting relatives living in the other cities or
when going on vacations together etc. And they prefer using public transports
for their daily purposes and inside the city commuting. As a result, the traffic
congestion has been reduced to many extents.

Model Answer 1:
Humans have always been dreaming of living in a luxurious house and
accordingly my dream is also similar with the other human beings. I want to
live in a large and luxurious house as I do not want experience any challenge
with my living at home.
The house should be a duplex building with spacious rooms and corridors.
There should be ample space for movement after placing the furniture.
Besides, the rooms need to be well ventilated and south facing is preferable.
Generally, the south-faced houses have natural light and air supply. So, one
does not need to spend more bucks after electricity or arrangement for
artificial air coolers. Besides, the houses should also contain several bedrooms.
The living room needs to be spacious as I have to place a wide range of
furniture than the regular living rooms in the tiny apartments. Besides, the
house should have sufficient numbers of bathrooms with modern fittings and
facilities. I would like to have a balcony with my bedroom facing the south side
from where I could smell the fragrance from the garden. At the night times, I
will place a chair on the balcony to enjoy the night views, especially the
moonlit nights.
Though I love rural regions than the urban areas for a tranquil environment, I
wish to have the house at the corner of an urban street. I chose to live in a
corner of the city for several reasons. First, such corner areas are usually free
of the bustle of the cities. Since there are few crowds the noise level remains
at a minimum level that is pleasant. Secondly, the cities are blessed with
modern facilities which are unavailable in the rural areas. The connections of
the internet or large shopping malls or standard groceries are not available.
But I need those to lead my life. Generally, the rural areas are quiet and I will
create such an environment around my house. But if the house is in the centre
or middle of any street, it is impossible to bring the rural flavour inside the
house. If I surround the house with foliage and gardens, it will look like a large
house in the rural areas. Moreover, I will have access to the necessary places
and public transportation facilities which are also rare in the rural areas.
The house should have all the modern amenities and facilities. It should have a
telephone connection to connect with the rest of the world in line with my
cellular phone. Besides, internet connection with satellite television network is
a must. I usually do not watch television but my parents do. For them, I need
to satellite television network. The house should also have a fine garage to
keep my Porsche 911 (though older, the car is of great use) with me. A small
driveway is a plus with the garage. The doors should be made with the finest
woods while the windows would be made of Thai glass window without any
grills or restrictions. The roof of the house should also be large and I intend to
plant some small plants on the rooftop garden. Besides, the entire building
should have the opportunity to cover with small plants that go attached to the
walls. The other issues like the fittings, tiles and necessary elements in the
kitchen and bathrooms should be of the top class.
I generally prefer to live in a large house for its benefits. I have been born and
brought up into a large house and being a nuclear family we did not have many
family members except the three of us (my parents and me). So, I had ample
spaces to move on inside the house and play around the day. So, the habit of
living in a large house has been formed since my early childhood. I cannot live
in small apartments and those appear like a cage to me. Breathing becomes
difficult (literally). Besides, I also need a quiet place to live in. So, I need a large
house with all the available facilities of the modern days and at the same time,
it should be peaceful. Neither my parents nor I prefer noise and do not make
so as well. A silent environment in a large house is the most desired thing for
me and my family.
