[Q] Where did you live when you were a child? Did you live in a house or an apartment? Describe your home in detail.

[Model Answer]

When I was a child, I lived in a small house located in the country. I remember that we had a small garden with a tall tree and colorful flowers and a swing. The garden was my favorite place in my old home and I loved to swing on a sunny day. There were two bedrooms and a living room in my old home. My parents used the master bedroom and I shared a small room with my sister. My old home was close to a big park where my family spent free time quite a lot and I remember it was a small but pretty house. I lived in my old home until we moved to a big city and I hope I can make time to visit my old house someday because I made happy memories in my childhood there.
