2021年5-8月 雅思口语 Part 1 Topic 4 Home 家庭、住所

1. Do you live in a house or an apartment?
I’m living in an apartment now. And I’m sharing it with my best friend at college. I really enjoy living there,because the location is pretty convenient for me. But of course, owning a house is also a dream of mine. (I hope to have my own backyard where I can relax.)括号里的内容根据考场实际来看是否继续扩展。

2. Where are you living now? / Why do you live there? / Do you like your living place?
不住宿舍：
I’m living in an apartment in downtown Shanghai. I have two roommates. They share the same apartment with me. It’s a nice place to live because the rent is very cheap for a young guy like me.
Plus, it’s close to my workplace. That’s the main reason why I’ve been living there for a long time.

住宿舍（学生）：
I’m living in a dorm at my university now. I have 3 roommates. We share the same room together.It’s a nice place to live because the rent for students is very cheap.

3. How is the area surrounding your home like? / Are there any good facilities nearby you home?
Well, you know, I’m living in a university dorm, so the building I live in is part of the campus. There’s a cafeteria building near our dorm, and it also has a supermarket inside. So it’s really convenient for me to live there.

4. What are the changes of surroundings around your living place?
Well…over the past few years, there have been lots of high-rise buildings built in my neighborhood.Besides, an outdoor gym was built about two years ago near my home. I always work out there.

5. What changes do you think your neighborhood/living area need?
Um…I think my neighborhood is good, but it would be better if there was a subway station near my home. Now the closest subway station is about 3 kilometers away, so it’s a little far from me. I heard the city plans to extend a subway line to the street next to my home. I hope it’s true.

6. Do you have friends living nearby? /What do people living nearby do? Do you know some of them?
Yes, I do. Actually, I have a coworker, also a close friend of mine, living in the same apartment building as me. It’s a high rise apartment so I guess there are tons of people living in it. Honestly,even though I’ve been living there for a long time, I’ve only gotten to know the neighbor girl living across the hallway. She is a teacher at a primary school nearby.

7. What are your roommates like?
Well, now I have two roommates sharing the same apartment with me. They are pretty cool. And I’d say I’m glad to live with them. All three of us love playing video games, so we have a lot to talk about and do together. For example, we have a game night together every Saturday.

8. How long have you lived there?
I’ve been living there for over three years. Even though I have to share a room with three roommates,luckily they’re all easy-going and nice, so we get along well with each other.

9. Will you move home in the near future?
Well, I don’t know if I will be moving anytime soon. But I hope not. I’ve been living in an apartment for several years. It’s a comfortable place and the rent is also very low. But sometimes it’s not up to me, I might need to work at a far place later. Who knows, right?

10. What is your favorite room?
My favorite room in my home is definitely my bedroom. I spend most of my time in my bedroom. It has all my favorite stuff in it, like my books, and I decorated it by myself. That really makes me feel at home – literally! It’s important to have somewhere you can just relax.

11. How do you think your room could be improved?
I hope to have a large bookshelf. I love reading, but I have no bookcase now… if you go into my bedroom, you can see tons of books are on the floor. So having a bookshelf may help me keep my
room clean and organized.
