TALK ABOUT A HOUSE YOU VISITED AND LIKED
Whose house it was?
Where it was?
What was so special about it?
Well, people these days invest heavily to build their dream homes and to give them captivating looks. I have seen few amazingly beautiful houses and here I would like to talk about my uncle's house that I liked the most. Actually, my uncle is a business man and lately he moved to his dream house that he built in Chandigarh. Last week, I went to Chandigarh for some work and during this time I visited my uncle's house also. I was enthralled to see this massive house that looks like a castle. As you enter the house there is a huge garden with lush green grass and thousands of flowers of exotic species. My uncle and his family greeted me warmly Ielts with Youtuber Ramandeep Singh and gave me walk- through of their mansion. It is a duplex building with 8 bedrooms and each and every room is well furnished and adorned with imported furniture. The entire building was climate controlled. My cousin who is a fitness freak showed me his fitness room where he has kept many machines for workout. They also have a small theatre room with big screen and Dolby surround sound to enjoy watching movies. The best thing that I like in this house is the terrace garden and swimming pool as we enjoyed the time together in the pool playing games and having fun. In fact, this house is facing a Lake, so you can enjoy breath-taking view of the Lake from the terrace. Overall, this house has anything one could dream of and I fancy building such house one day to live in with my family.

Similarly, by efficient ventilation we can reduce the need of air conditioning or room heating. So, I think it is very important to think about such structures.
