Home/House/Apartment
Do you currently live in a house or a flat/apartment?
I live in a flat not far from the town center.
I currently live in a 300-square-meter house in the southern suburb of the town.
考生要理解flat/apartment與house概念上的差異。前者指的是公寓房，也就是大多數(shù)中國家庭所居住的樓房，單元房等。后者指的是中國人印象中的獨立的有前庭后院的別墅房。
Can you describe your house/flat?
Sure. The flat has 6 rooms—one living room, one kitchen, one bathroom and three bedrooms for my parents, my brother and myself. The extra one is for the guest who would come to stay with us.
考生可以簡單描述自己的flat或者apartment所有的房間以及房間的功用和布置?；卮饹]有必要很詳細，做出簡單的概括就可以了。
What main items of furniture or appliances do you have in each room?
There aren’t many things in my home. To begin with, there is plasma TV with two surrounding speakers on each side in the living room. In front of it are a coffee table and a set of couches arranged in a half circle. There are also, of course, a few pieces of decorations in the corners and on the walls of the living room. In the bedrooms there is really nothing special, but only beds. However, in my parents’ room there is another TV and in mine, a desktop computer, because, you see, I have to work on my computer everyday.
考生可以舉例描述一兩個房間的電器或者家具。
Is it a typical house/flat in your city?
Yes, it is. You’ll find tons of flats/houses like this in my city.
Not really. I don’t think most people can afford a big house/flat like this one.
與所有其他題目一樣，考生除了直接回答問題還要進行簡單的延伸，例如解釋原因或者進一步描述，以充分展示自己的英文表達能力。
What kind of house or flat do you want to live in in the future?
Well, I would prefer a new flat in the town center. It doesn’t have to be very big, but definitely has to be nice and cozy.
I’d like to have a big house with a beautiful garden in front for myself. You see, I always wanted to live in a house, to enjoy the big space and privacy it provides. But, of course, I also have to think in terms of my affordability before I make my final decision.
兩種選擇，考生應(yīng)根據(jù)兩種不同住房的特點來回答自己的喜好并解釋原因。
Do you like the decoration in your home? Why or why not?
Are you kidding? From the wallpaper selection to paintings I drew by myself, from the flowers on the table to other decorations in the corner, I made all these all by myself. I love them.
No. I am not very satisfied with the decoration in my home, because I always feel there is something missing. Maybe I need something to put in the corners.
一些常見的房屋裝飾的詞匯可以供考生參考：
Will you move to another house or flat in the near future?
Yes, definitely. The one I’m currently living in is too old. The paint is peeling off; the wall is not soundproof enough; and worst of all, the sewage system in the building is just annoying—it always gets stuck, letting wastes drift everywhere in the corridor. Just imagine how terrible the scene looks. So I must move out of there as soon as I find a suitable one.
No. I’m comfortable with the house I’m living in now. It is big enough for my whole family and still close enough to the town center, making it all convenient for commutation to schools, offices and shops. So I’m not going to move.
搬家的主要原因在于對現(xiàn)有居住環(huán)境的不滿足，期望搬到更好的地方?？忌梢栽诨卮饡r突出自己現(xiàn)在居住環(huán)境的特點，通過對比來答題。
What kind of house/flat are you going to move into?
Well, I would definitely like to move into a bigger flat, one that has a separate study room and a bigger living room for my new home theater system.
I am going to moving into a small house. Though it is not my ideal house and has only 4 rooms, it is definitely cheaper than the flat I’m currently living in, because it is located in the community in the suburb. And it is safer.
簡單給出新家的描述，考生也可以適當(dāng)補充一兩句原因。
What do you think of the area in which you live?
It is a great neighborhood with great environment and facilities. People are friendly; small parks are everywhere; and there are also sports facilities free to use. I like the place where I live.
I am not very satisfied with the area in which I live. The major reason is it is too densely populated. There are not enough parking lots. It is always hard to get one. When it comes to the public facilities, you won’t have a chance to lay your hands on it, for they are always being used by others.
居住環(huán)境的好壞通常有以下的原因：居民的友好程度，社區(qū)設(shè)施，當(dāng)然自然環(huán)境也是不可以忽略的。
How long have you lived there?
I’ve lived there for 4 years. It’s been a great living experience: great neighborhood, great people, and great facilities.
I haven’t lived there for long. But I don’t really like the neighborhood, because people are too aloof. For a person like me who enjoys close friendship with neighbors, it is just nightmare.
本題目的回答可以在答案的基礎(chǔ)上談一下自己對所居住地方的感受。
What are your neighbors like?
Since I live in a house in a less populated suburban area, there are only a few neighbors in the area where I live. But they are all great people, people who are always ready to help.
There are a lot of people living in my neighborhood. Some are really great people, while some others are just strange.
考生可以強調(diào)不同的人有不同的特點，鄰居也是如此，或者談?wù)撪従娱g的共性。
