Speaking Test Part 2:

Model Answer:

I’d love to tell you about my brother’s house. My older brother, Chris, bought the house a year ago in the southwest of England, very near the coast, and I really like it for several reasons.

Firsty, it’s spacious, as there are 3 bedrooms upstairs, and a living room, kitchen, dining room, and TV room downstairs. The bedrooms are cosy, the living room is well-lit, the kitchen is modern and well-equipped, and the TV room is luxurious, with a huge and very comfy L-shaped sofa.

Secondly, I love the location, which is within walking distance of the sea. It’s surrounded by beautiful countryside, and there are various walking trails that start near the house. You can just put on your walking boots, open the front door, and immediately head out on a hike. The neighbourhood is nice, and what’s more, it doesn’t take too long to drive to a big town nearby where you can go shopping.

Finally he’s done up the house in a stylish and personalised way. He redecorated it last year, painting the walls in a variety of vibrant colours, and he also bought an eclectic mix of furniture including some really cool vintage armchairs. I hadn't really realised it, but he has a great eye for design.
