PART I
Yes, definitely
Well, I’m living in a hall of residence in my college I share the room with another person so we do not have much private space However, we can save a lot of money because the rent is very reasonable and the room is fully furnished In addition, I also find living on campus convenient and safe
Currently, I share a rented apartment with a friend of mine Although we really get
on well with each other, I still need more privacy Also, I long/yearn for a little
garden where I can plant some flowers Therefore, I’m considering taking out a
mortgage and looking for a detached house with a back garden It doesn’t need
to have a lot of rooms but the rooms must be spacious I would choose home
comforts by myself and make it a dream house with my own signature
Vocab:
detached house: a house that is not physically connected to another property
>< terraced house: a house connected on both sides by other properties
dream home: a home you regard as perfect
= ideal home: a perfect home
to take out a mortgage: to borrow a large amount of money, paid back over
several years, in order to buy a house
>< to apply for a mortgage
Trang 23 What kind of accommodation do most people live in in your city?
Ho Chi Minh City is small but extremely crowded The city was designed at first
for only 1 million residents However, the population in the city has reached nearly
10 million As a result, it is very difficult, or even out of the question, for most people
to buy a detached house, especially in the downtown districts Therefore, they usually choose to live in apartment blocks
PART II
Describe a house or an apartment you would like to live in
You should say:
• what kind of accommodation it would be
• where it would be
• who would live there with you
and say why you would enjoy living in this place
Currently, I’m living in a terraced house Although it offers more privacy compared with
an apartment, the house is still connected with others Thus, I always long for/ yearn
for a detached house I love planting flowers, so it would be perfect if there is a back garden The house should be spacious to accommodate all the mod cons Because
the price of such property in the downtown districts is incredibly high, I think I’ll find my
house in the uptown area I haven’t been married so I think I just live with my beloved family There will be a double room for my parents, and two single rooms for my brother and me Every evening, we will have dinner together in the kitchen/ dining room while
watching television and sharing things The reason I want to live in this house is that we will have more privacy, as I said before, and a little garden where I can relax and pursue
my passion with flowers When we move there, we definitely will have a big
house-warming party
PART III
accommodation?
Well, people can easily find a place to live on the property market nowadays However, there are some things that they need to pay attention to before putting
down a deposit The first thing is about security We don’t want to live in an area
Trang 3with a lot of crimes and criminals Then, we need to consider whether the housing
is conveniently located or not, are there any subways, buses, trains,
supermarkets, hospitals, and schools in the neighborhood And finally, whether the
housing is fully-furnished or not If the answer is not, then we have to pay a lot
more to purchase necessary furniture
I believe that most people will prefer to own their own homes rather than to live
in rented accommodation This is because human’s nature is to possess Having
a home makes people feel safer, and they will really love a house or an apartment
if it is their home A rented apartment is considered just as a place to live, not a place to love
country?
I believe that most young couples want a place with much privacy and space, a
detached house, for example However, they usually have to apply for a mortgage to purchase a house, but receiving approval for a mortgage application is not very simple And if they are able to take out a mortgage, they
still have to face a huge debt Therefore, others also hunting for houses choose
to live in rented accommodation to save money They can rent an apartment and then do up the property with some home comforts to make it feel like their home
Or young couples can simply live with their parents
detached house: a house that is not physically connected to another property
>< terraced house: a house connected on both sides by other properties
