Describe an item you would buy if you receive a lot of money.

You should say:

what you will buy
how much money it would cost you
how you would use it
and explain why you would buy it if you receive a large amount of money.

Sample Answer

(what you will buy) I bring home the bacon. But I’ve been pining to buy a house in the prestigious ABC club. I commute by the bus, and whenever it passes through ABC club, I lose myself in the quietude and picturesque beauty of the place.

(how much money it would cost you)(how you would use it) It would cost an arm and leg to buy a bungalow in ABC club. But, I sincerely wish that I get possession of one of those houses. We’re a family of five. So I would buy a big bungalow where my parents and siblings can have separate spaces for themselves. I will also ensure that it has a beautiful lawn. I would also decorate the house with best-in-class furniture. Being an art lover, I would also make certain that every room has a painting.

(explain why you would buy it if you receive a large amount of money) Many of the ministers and film stars reside there. The place has beautiful trees on both sides of the road. Every house is unique in style. It would be so calm that one would really doubt if people live there. It is a matter of pride to own a house in such a place. So if by some luck I get a lot of money, I would use it to buy my dream bungalow.

From then on, she has been mentoring IELTS aspirants. She joined IELTSMaterial about a year ago, and her contributions have been exceptional. Her essay ideas and vocabulary have taken many students to a band 9.
