Well, I live with my parents in a beautiful house in a residential neighbourhood.
It’s a relatively large house. There are three bedrooms, two livingrooms, and spacious kitchen.
There are also an open-plan ceramic studio, it’s for my own business where I spend most of my time.
Your answer is pretty good! I see only a couple of minor mistakes:
“Well, I live with my parents in a beautiful house in a residential neighbourhood.
It’s a relatively large house. There are three bedrooms, two living rooms, and a spacious kitchen.
There is also an open-plan ceramic studio for my own business where I spend most of my time.”
“Livingrooms” should be two words: “living rooms”. Also, we should use “a” before “spacious kitchen”, not just “spacious kitchen”. And be careful with singular and plural. “There are also an open-plan ceramic studio” should be “There is also an open-plan ceramic studio”.
Keep up the good work!
I live in a relatively large house. It is located on the outskirts of my town.
There are 3 floors in the house. I live in the first floor with my husband. We still don’t have kids. There are 2 bed rooms, a living room, a dining room, and a spacious kitchen where i spend most of the time.
Your answer is great and I can’t see any mistakes in it. Your structuring is good, and your grammar is spot-on. Keep practicing just like this!
I live in a new dormitory building in the center of Petropavlovsk, Kazakhstan. It is modern and well-equipped and 300 students live there. I share a triple room with my groupmate on the fifth floor. Each floor has two kitchen and two study rooms which makes it very convenient. I spend most of my time in my room for studying or relaxing.
Your answer is quite good! There is only one small language usage issue.
Your corrected sentence is: “Each floor has two kitchens and two study rooms which makes it very convenient.”
Here, “kitchen” should be in its plural form “kitchens” to maintain parallel structure in the sentence. Also, it shows that there is more than one kitchen on each floor.
Keep practicing your IELTS preparation. Great job!
Well, I live in a small and cozy house with my family in a residential neighborhood. We have three bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen. I also have a comfortable bedroom, which is where I spend time alone. Outside my house, there is a yard where my cats really love running.
Your answer is already quite good, I couldn’t spot any mistakes. Keep practicing like this. You’re doing well!
Well, I live in a luxury apartment which places in the center of the city, near the international airport. My apartment is quite spacious with 2 bedrooms, a living room and a open-plan kitchen. It also have a balcony where I can see directly to the main street and it is my all -time favorite place to relax too because I can see the crowded and the hectic life of the city.
Your answer is quite good, but there are a few errors:
“Well, I live in a luxury apartment which is located in the center of the city, near the international airport. My apartment is quite spacious with 2 bedrooms, a living room, and an open-plan kitchen. It also has a balcony where I can see directly onto the main street and it’s my all-time favorite place to relax because I can see the hustle and bustle of city life.”
Here are your mistakes:
1. “which places” should be “which is located”.
2. “a open-plan” should be “an open-plan”
3. The proper use would be “It also has a” in place of “It also have a”.
Keep practicing, you’re doing well!
