雅思口語part2：house

雅思口語Part 2里，總是要準備一個house素材的，之前考過Describe a house or an apartment you want to live in或者Describe an ideal house，所以當大家看到interesting house you have visited的時候，應該不會感到陌生吧!我們搬出來一幢土豪的房子，絕對足夠interesting啊!你所有幻想著擁有的東西都往這裡搬，所有的裝備都為我們扣題而服務的：

I』d like to talk about my friend』s home I visited several months ago, which really blew my mind.

His family is loaded, I mean, his parents have a drug company and make millions of dollars every year. They bought a house along the riverside that has the highest housing price because of the view.

Several months ago, he invited a bunch of friends over to his home on his birthday. He threw a huge party and hired band and magicians, just like the ones we saw in movies.

The minute I stepped into his home, I was just amazed. It』s not just a normal 4-floor house with front and back yard, he has his own outdoor swimming pool, which to be honest, I think is not that necessary and practical, 『cause in a place like my hometown, half of a year is winter, it』s impossible to swim outside. But for this family, money is no object, I mean, they could do whatever they like with the house.

For example, my friend is a complete movie buff, so his father built him a small-sized movie theater on the second floor, with all the advanced equipment like screen, projector, stereos and stuff. He also has a game room where he could play pool, video games and board games. So you see, he has everything that a boy could dream of.

The most interesting thing about his home is that they have a room specially designed for their cats. It』s just like a small playground filled with toys and recreational facilities for cats.

I feel that I could spend a whole day in his house without feeling bored.
