House Hunting - ESL worksheet by talay - Free Printable

Let’s look at the task:

You’re asked to compare a small, older house and a spacious, modern apartment using the given words:
noisy, big, bedrooms, expensive, bathrooms, modern, space, convenient, private, parking spaces.

We need to write 10 comparison sentences — one for each word — showing how the two places are similar or different.

Let’s go step by step:

1. noisy → The apartment is downtown, so it’s probably noisy. The house is in a quiet suburb, so it’s not noisy.
→ *The apartment is noisier than the house.*

2. big → The apartment is described as “spacious,” and has more rooms. The house is “small.”
→ *The apartment is bigger than the house.*

3. bedrooms → House has 2, apartment has 3.
→ *The apartment has more bedrooms than the house.*

4. expensive → House is $950/month, apartment is $1500/month. So apartment costs more.
→ *The apartment is more expensive than the house.*

5. bathrooms → Both have 1 bathroom.
→ *They have the same number of bathrooms.*

6. modern → Apartment is called “modern.” House is “older.”
→ *The apartment is more modern than the house.*

7. space → Apartment is “spacious,” house is “small.” Also, apartment has city views and open layout.
→ *The apartment has more space than the house.*

8. convenient → Apartment is near subway (downtown). House is in quiet suburb — less convenient for transit.
→ *The apartment is more convenient than the house.*

9. private → House says “very private.” Apartment is in a building downtown — likely less private.
→ *The house is more private than the apartment.*

10. parking spaces → House has 2-car garage. Apartment has only 1 parking space.
→ *The house has more parking spaces than the apartment.*

Now let’s check if we used all 10 words correctly and made clear comparisons.
