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.
