Sample Answer

My maternal uncle lives in a large house in Noida, in India. The house is considered as one of the splendid edifices of the modern architecture in his locality.

Mr. Gautam Sudhir is my maternal uncle and works as a senior naval officer in the Indian Navy. He is a bit luxurious in nature and loves to live in a beautiful space. So, he has made the house with great care. The house is a one-storied building covering a large space. There is a large garden in front of the house with different attractive flower and fruit plants. Some of the plants are unavailable in the country. The small swimming pool has raised the beauty of the house. It also has a spacious roof and my uncle has separated the roof into two parts. He has his study in one part and the other part is gardened with flower plants he brought from different countries during his travel. The house has a grand look and my uncle is also proud of it.   

My Uncle lives New Okhla Industrial Development Authority in India which is better known as Noida. It is located in Uttar Pradesh. This is an industrial city but now this is known most for the expensive and luxurious housing. Most of the houses in the city are extremely beautiful and contain all the modern elements. The city has been formed as the people related to the industrial activities, mostly the people of IT-related service, started living here. Besides, the city is decorated with plants while the roads are smoother than any other roads in the country. There are different sections of the city and the house is located in one corner of Noida. The connecting road to the house has been linked with the main road of the city and thus communication is easier despite the house been located at a corner of the city.

The inside of the house is beautifully decorated. The house has many rooms including three large bedrooms with some other smaller rooms to be used for several other purposes. The living space is extra large. Most of the furniture is made with the finest woods and proudly shows the choice of the house owner. There is an unusually large mirror in the living room and portrays the shadow of the visitors which is amazing, while the ceiling is decorated with a chandelier. The master bedroom is stunningly decorated with precious furniture and amenities. There is a king-size bed in the master bedroom with some essential furniture. The most important thing about the house is that it is centrally air-conditioned which has made living inside the house comfortable.

This is an adorable house indeed, and I like the swimming pool inside the boundary. The house is special in many senses and the most important thing is the design. The house is shaped simply with the modern architectural designs. The house also owns a gorgeous look and in night times, the house looks more beautiful when all the lights are on. Sometimes, the family members gossip on the side of the swimming pool during the moonlit nights. I also like to play cricket in the lawn but often we need to be careful about the cricket balls so that they do not cause any damage to the small flower plants. Sometimes, I read books and watch television on the rooftop study. Moreover, the electronic entrance is another important feature of the house. Whenever any vehicle tries to enter through the gate, the guard opens the gate electronically. Besides, the modern security system has made the entire house safe.
