Describe your Ideal House- IELTS Cue Cards

Sample Answer

People generally have lots of dreams and mind maps about their home and it is one of the most common ambitions people have. Now, being a thalassophile that I am, I want my house to be near a sea, where I can catch a glimpse of the sea every day. Hence, any coastal area would do the requite for me. I am pretty innovative when it comes to planning my house and therefore, I’m not too fond of a banal and ordinary house to live in as far as having a dream house is concerned.

I would want my house to be digitally facilitated with beautiful graphic wall design that could be customized as per my desire and need. Moreover, I am not into very gigantic or magnificent kinds of houses and would like to have a medium-sized house. Structurally, I always wanted to live in a dome-shaped house that is not something one gets to see often and I am okay to have it even at the expense of people considering it as recherche or weird. 

Talking about the number of people it could accommodate, I am okay with it being commodious for 11-12 people. However, I would prefer my drawing room and hall to be quite palatial as I always like it to be that way. At times, in case I would hold a party, the hall shouldn’t at least be small or discomforting for a good number of people.
