29. Describe an interesting house or apartment that you visited
Last week I had chance to visit my close friend who live in an apartment belonging to a
twenty-storey building, in a close proximity to X Road.
I must say that that apartment is the most magnificient one I have ever seen. On top of
that, the neighborhood there is really
pleasant with many amenities, such as
convenience store, the gym and the park.
His apartment is on the 8th floor. It is about 150 square meters with three bedrooms,
two bathrooms, and one living room. It has also a comfy and cozy dining room beside
the kitchen. Opposite the living room is a spacious and well-ventilated
area and the
rolling chair on the balcony.
Among all the rooms in his apartment, the bedroom is my favorite. It is about 20 square
meters. The window faces the south, so It can have rich sunlight. The most noticeable
and interesting object in this bedroom is a traditional mask hanging on the wall. It is a
souvenir he bought during a trip to Yunnan. It is said that it can bring good luck and
happiness, which those who pay a flying visit to his house often give it lots of
compliment. The bookshelves are packed with books of various genres which are his cup
of tea.
He told me that he has lived in the apartment for nearly 5 years, which made me feel
really jealous of his life with such a spectacular house. If I can put aside enough money
down the road, I will definitely buy an apartment next to his.
