36
There are lots of foreigners from around the world living in one place.
37
Guys one of the secrets to getting a high mark is not to just shorten your sentences
38
and also and and also and also try to develop them into long, complex sentences as I will show you in my answers now.
39
Let's have a look at a question together.
40
The question is where is your hometown?
41
Well I'm originally from London a bustling city with a dramatic and captivating skyline located in the south of England.
42

57
which means I have the ability to try food from all over the world.
58

59
That's a beautiful way to speak in IELTS part one.
60
Let's move on now to talk about the next hot topic all about your accommodation, the place where you live.
61
Now this topic is often overlooked and seen as a relatively simple topic.
62
However, never take things for granted.
63
Let's practice together.
64
First let's think about how to describe the place that you live.
65
We might describe an apartment as a luxury high-rise apartment with breathtaking views over the majestic city of Saigon.
66
If we're talking about a house we might talk about a modest or luxury detached house,
67
a dream for anybody looking to buy their first home.
68
The phrase there, detached house, terraced house, beautiful.
69
Moving on let's talk about the kitchen, the interior.
70
People will say oh I have a beautiful kitchen.
71
No, no. We can say oh in my house I have a modern state-of-the-art kitchen
72
which is vital because I can cook delicious meals for my stunning family.
73
We're putting things into a full sentence.

79

81
Remember in part one, you can do this.
82
It's really good to talk about yourself and your family.

86
to take advantage of the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
87
Perhaps the majestic mountains of Dalat would be perfect for me.
88
Right now, though, convenience is my top priority.
89
But long term, a cozy, open plan, detached house with breathtaking views would be a great choice for me.
90
Let's move on now to talk about work and studies.
91
A really hot topic.
92
Guys, if they ask you what do you do, please be confident to be able to describe and talk about your job.

95
You might say that your job gives you a sense of purpose.
96

107

115
Teaching felt like a natural fit and I also wanted a career
116
that would allow me to express my creativity and long-term growth opportunities were both available when teaching English.
117
For me I love nothing more than to help students to achieve their dreams, which is something you simply can't put a price on.
118
Although it may be very demanding at times, I find it incredibly rewarding.
119
And finally, let's talk about your daily routine.
120

À propos de cette leçon
Vous vous entraînez en anglais avec "IELTS Speaking Part 1: Hometown, House, Work & Study, Daily Routine | Sample Answers + Tips" en utilisant la technique du Shadowing.
Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
