Model Answer:
Well, I don’t really have many things at this point of my life, but that, of course, doesn’t prevent me from dreaming about the things which I would like to have or own in the future. Having a beautiful house near a sea beach is one such thing, and today I would like to talk about that dream of mine.
Now, I am pretty sure that many people like me fancy about their dream house near a sea beach, especially, after visiting a beautiful sea beach. But, as for me, the idea of owning my dream home near a sea beach came to me only after getting an opportunity to live at one of my friend’s houses, which was only about 5/6 blocks away from a gorgeous looking sea beach in Catalonia, Spain, about a few years ago.
Not to mention, of course, my friend’s parents were very rich, so quite naturally, the house was built with a state of the art design by incorporating some “out of this world” type of imagination, as well as by using custom-made materials which made the place look like a piece of heaven on earth. Anyway, as soon as I saw this house of my friend, I fell in love with it and started to ask different kinds of funny questions about it to my friend. My friend, of course, chuckled all those times when I was asking him those questions, but later on, he told me in a very serious tone that I would need to work many years to build such a house.
Anyway, I would like to own such a house near a sea beach, primarily because I always want to get the glorious water views and access to the beautiful beach right through my back door without even trying for it! I want to own such a dream home also because it would offer me the grand prestige and an enviable status of living right on the beach.
