Describe a street that you know - Where is it located - What buildings are there on the street - How often do you go on that street

·         There are many streets in my home town

·         Here I would like to talk about a street which is in the city centre

·         It is called Bansan Wala Bazaar Street

·         It is a very busy street

·         This is basically a commercial street

·         There are huge showrooms on both sides of the street

·         Because of this street my hometown is known as a shopper’s paradise

·         This street is very popular with NRIs

·         There are many readymade garment stores such as Frontier cloth house and Kultham garments

·         Kultham shoes is also very popular store of my home town

·         In these stores you can get all the branded clothes and shoes

·         I like this street because I love to see the latest fashion displays which these stores show through their mannequins

·         Most of these stores are very costly but I get ideas about the latest trends from these stores

·         I generally do window shopping there but when my relatives come from Canada, they buy a lot of things from there.

·         There is also a cosmetic shop by the name of Ozzie which has all the popular cosmetic brands like Lakme, Revlon, Loreal and so on.

·         There is a fast food restaurant on this street called Mohan Fast Foods which is very popular among the people.

·         I go to that fast food restaurant once or twice with my friends.

·         We enjoy a lot there.

·         At the end of the street there is a Gurudwara, or Sikh temple where I go very often to pay obeisance to the almighty

·         This street is always brimming with people and full of hustle and bustle.

·         The only drawback of the street is that there is not enough parking space over there.

Talk about a house or an apartment you would like to live in. - describe that house or apartment, - say why you like it, and - explain where it should be located.

( For students who come from villages)

·         Presently, I live in a village

·         My house is very big and it has lot of open space.

·         However, I face a lot of problems there

·         For every small requirement, I have to travel to the city

·         Facilities are not very good in my village

·         I would like my house to be in the suburbs of the city

·         That way I would have the best of both worlds

·         I would have the pollution free environment and I would also be near to the facilities that the cities provide

·         My house would be a single storey house

·         The constructed area would be just enough for a family of four

·         There would be two bedrooms, a lobby, a kitchen, a living room, two bathrooms, a lawn in the front and a kitchen garden in the backyard.

·         I would like to grow vegetables for my personal use.

·         I would not spray any harmful insecticides and pesticides and I would use only organic fertilizers.

·         I would prepare my own compost for fertilizing my plants

·         I would grow okra, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, coriander, mint, fenugreek, spinach, radish, aubergine, cauliflower and carrot

·         I would like such a house because it would provide me the facilities of the city as well as the good life of the villages.

·         It would be small, so I would be able to maintain it well.

·         I would make it a very welcome place for my friends and family.

·         I would host many get-togethers for my kith and kin in that house.

·         It would have a very warm and loving atmosphere.
