Một số bài miêu tả mẫu (Cambridge Vocabulary for IELTS)
1. Tả nhà truyền thống ở quê
I live in a cottage. It’s a single-storey building so the rooms are all on the same level. It’s about a hundred years old and it’s a very traditional design, so there’s no concrete or steel to be found. Just about all the buildings in this area were built from timber and stone from the local quarry. It’s got a lot of character. What I like best about it are the ceilings. They’re quite ornate as they have lots of pretty details on them. Although some people think it’s small, I prefer to think of it as cosy.
2. Tả nhà cao tầng hiện đại
My flat is in a new high-rise building in the city centre. The design is ultra-modern, so there’s a lot of glass and concrete and steel – and not a lot of wood to be seen. Everything is controlled through a state-of-the-art computer system. It’s a very functional apartment and there’s a space to suit every purpose, but I do find the bedrooms a bit cramped. My favorite spot is the balcony – my towers over everything else, so I can see for miles.
