BAND 9.0 SAMPLE ANSWER
I’m going to describe a high-rise building in my neighborhood. It’s called 
Paradise Green City, located in Canada. 
Unlike other modern blocks, which are usually huge glass towers, the building is 
painted yellow, although it’s named Green City. The structure of Green City is not 
dissimilar to that of most buildings in Canada nowadays, with the bottom half used 
as a shopping center and the top half occupied by apartments.

One feature that makes the building unique is that its trade center offers 
Canadian products only, with a view to promoting domestic products to Hanoi 
people and also to supporting national manufacturers. At the entrance of the 
building, if you look to the right, you can easily find a store named 
Masterchef bread, which serves traditional bread to people who just do not have 
enough time to go inside, so they line up waiting to pay. 
In spite of its prime location, however, Paradise Green City offers a reasonable 
price for its apartments, which are affordable for many middle-income families. 
From the building, we can enjoy the breathtaking scenery. So, if you are planning 
to find a place with a beautiful and peaceful view, or simply want to buy something 
traditional, Paradise Green City may be a good choice. 
(Dislike) What I don’t like about Paradise Green City, however, is that its design is 
neither eye-catching nor original. In fact, I personally find that it resembles ABC, a 
modern building nearby. Moreover, the paint color doesn’t match its modern 
structures, which makes the building somehow old-fashioned. And, the quality, as 
well as diversity of products on sale do not meet the expectations of most 
customers. So, I guess it’s the reason why the building doesn’t attract as much 
attention from the public as expected.
