I live in a extravagant spacious house in a residential area of the Philippines. It is modern and stylish place to live in, I live with my husband and son. It has 4 Bedrooms, a functional kitchen, a comfortable living room and a cozy balcony overlooking the garden.
Your response sounds really good! However, there’s a small mistake. The correction should be:
“I live in an extravagant, spacious house in a residential area of the Philippines. It’s a modern and stylish place to live in. I live with my husband and son. It has 4 bedrooms, a functional kitchen, a comfortable living room, and a cozy balcony overlooking the garden.”
Remember, ‘an’ should be used before words beginning with vowels. Also, be sure to use contractions where possible to make it sound more natural in spoken English. Good job overall!
I live in a beautiful and relatively large home which is in the outskirts of Calgary near NE, Whitehorn. It’s a spacious home, which I share with my family. It have 3 bedrooms, one living room and a open-plan kitchen with a serene backyard, where I spent most of my time.
Great job on your response. There’s one small mistake in your answer. Instead of “It have 3 bedrooms,” the correct phrase should be “It has 3 bedrooms.” So, your corrected sentences would be:
“I live in a beautiful and relatively large home which is in the outskirts of Calgary near NE, Whitehorn. It’s a spacious home, which I share with my family. It has 3 bedrooms, one living room, and an open-plan kitchen with a serene backyard, where I spend most of my time.”
Aside from this, your answer was quite good and well-structured. Keep practicing!
well, I live in a beautiful house in Islamabad. I share my house with my parents. It has two bedrooms. I usually spend my time in my bedroom. It’s a peaceful place for me to live in.
Your answer is good overall, but there are a couple of minor improvements I’d suggest:
“Well, I live in a beautiful house in Islamabad. I share this house with my parents. We have two bedrooms and I typically spend most of my time in my room. It’s a peaceful place for me.”
Those are minor suggestions, but your answer was already quite clear and descriptive. Good job!
I live in spacious house. I share the house with my parents, wife, and sbilings. there are two bedrooms, living room and kitchen downstair and four bedrooms upstair. I spend most of my time in my bedroom.
Your answer is very clear, but there are some spelling and grammar mistakes. Here’s a corrected version:
“I live in a spacious house. I share the house with my parents, wife, and siblings. There are two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen downstairs, and four bedrooms upstairs. I spend most of my time in my bedroom.”
Mistakes:
– Remember to use ‘a’ or ‘an’ before singular nouns. So it should be “a spacious house,” not “spacious house”.
– Be careful with your spelling. It’s “siblings,” not “sbilings.”
– Use the appropriate prepositions. You had written “downstair and upstair”, it should be “downstairs and upstairs”.
Keep practicing, you’re making good progress!
I live in an old model bungalow in a residential area in Namugongo. I share this 3-bedroom house with my mum and my 2 sisters. It has a cosy sitting room and dinning area. Outside, the house has a boys quarters extension, a feature common in many Ugandan homes. The quarters house our two lovely house helps. In the front just near the gate, there is a small structure for the security guard. I spend most of my time in my bedroom watching lots of series
I can’t see any mistakes in your answer. You’ve addressed the question asked very well and added great details that give an image of the house you live in. Keep this up!

I share it with my family, my husband and my 3 girls.
It has 2 bedrooms and an open-plan kitchen and the living room.
There is also a balcony overlooking the garden
I can’t see any mistakes in your answer. You’ve responded to the question properly, using correct grammar and fully describing your apartment. Good job! Keep practicing this way.
I live in a three bedroom and one bath apartment located in Armstrong Avenue, the house looks tiny outside but it is spacious inside. I’m sharing the house with my relatives.
Thank you for your response. Your answer is almost perfect, but there’s one small error. Instead of saying “I’m sharing the house with my relatives”, you should say, “I’m sharing the apartment with my relatives”. Remember, a house and an apartment are not the same thing. Here is the corrected sentence:
“I live in a three-bedroom, one-bath apartment located on Armstrong Avenue. The apartment looks tiny from the outside, but it’s spacious inside. I’m sharing the apartment with my relatives.” Keep practicing!
