雅思口语素材库-雅思口语part1范文：Hometown

Question 1:

Where are you from?

Sample answer:

My hometown is Jinan, the capital of Shandong, a coastal province. It sits almost in the middle of the province, with the Yellow River flowing through. It is well known for the spring parks, so we also call it the Spring City.

Question 2:

How long have you been living there?

Sample answer:

Our family moved there when I was 5, and since then I've been living there. Jinan witnessed my growth from a child to a student and then to a young man. I have deep feelings for it, so even though my university has student apartments, I still go home frequently, usually every other week.

Question 3:

Is your hometown a big city or a small city?

Sample answer:

It is a rather big city, not as big as Shanghai or Beijing, but easy enough to distinguish on a provincial map or a night view from the sky. I haven't searched for the exact figures yet, but I guess it has a similar size as Chicago, and approximately the population of New York.

Question 4:

Do you like your hometown?

Sample answer:

I love my hometown a lot. I like its natural views, such as the gorgeous lakes and mountains. I also like its food, its scrumptious fried-fish and crab cakes. But on top of all that, I think the hospitable people are the most appealing characteristic. The local citizens are willing to offer a helping hand to their neighbours as well as immigrants, regardless of your social status. I love them, and the land beneath their feet.

Question 5:

Are there anything you dislike about your hometown?

Sample answer:

Yeah, every city has its problems. First of all, Jinan has a notorious traffic system. Because of a failure in urban design, traffic jams do not just happen in rush hours, but also in off-peak time, such as 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Besides, I think the summer there is too hot, with many days reaching almost 38 Celsius degrees.

Question 6:

Has your hometown changed over the years? What are the changes?

Sample answer:

I think it has changed a lot, especially on education and work opportunities. There used to be more farmers when agriculture was the only solution for a student with lower scores at school. But in recent years, the development of internet and relevant educational policies have allowed many people to set up

a business on Taobao. By providing technical services, such as selling PDF converters, they are making more profits than before.

Question 7:

Do you think you will continue living there for a long time?

Sample answer:

I would love to, but it is not the better option anymore. Even though my hometown has provided more jobs than ever, it is still no compare with metropolitans, like Shanghai. Especially for me, a finance worker, Shanghai has more international banks than any other city in mainland China. So I may have to move for my career.
