hi there it's asiya do you know that there are  just a few topics that each ielts speaking exam begins with in this video i'm gonna talk about one  of them your hometown i'll show you sample answers
2
and give you some useful vocabulary to help you  improve your answers there is also a pdf guide where you can find questions and sample answers  for the other topics okay let's get started
3
first of all what is a hometown that's a place  where you were born or lived as a child i've been living in london for 10 years but this is not my  hometown actually i have two i was born in almaty
4
and grew up mainly in bishkek so i can talk about  either if you're in a similar situation just choose one to keep it simple the first question  is are you from a town or a village listen to this
5
answer and think if it's a good one i was born  in almaty the largest city in kazakhstan with a population of about 2 million people almaty served  as the capital of kazakhstan in the past and it's
6
still its main commercial and cultural center  benefiting from its location along the ancient silk road can you feel that something is wrong  that it didn't sound natural well that's because
7
this answer sounds like a wikipedia article  because it is the wikipedia article i just copied it that won't do you'll be penalized for  using memorized answers because they don't show
8
your english they show your memory so give an  answer you would normally give in real life
9
i could say i'm from a city called almaty it's the  former capital of kazakhstan or here is another option i'm from a small village called take in  south kazakhstan and that's enough in these two
10
examples i directly answered the question and then  gave a bit more information to explain where it is
11
there will be questions where you can say  more so don't feel the pressure to just talk a lot all the time the next question is what is  your hometown like okay so here i can say more
12
it's quite a large and modern city of over 2  million people it's growing fast because many people move there to work or study i like  its hustle and bustle the city is located
13
in the foothills of the alatau mountains  which means that the views are beautiful
14
and we can easily go hiking in summer and skiing  in winter here are a few useful phrases hustle and bustle that's all the noise and activity we  associate with a busy city you may love the hustle
15
and bustle of living in this city center but then  require a break from all this hustle and bustle
16
you can also talk about a bustling city or  neighborhood that's the one that is full of people moving around okay what kinds of  public transport are there in your hometown
17
there are buses electrical trolley buses and  trams and one metro line which took about 20 years to build that's definitely not enough  for such a large city and as a result most
18
people use cars and traffic congestion is a  major problem so public transport is british and public transportation is american and it  includes buses trains taxes and so on if you
19
live in a small village there may be no public  transport you can travel by public transport
20
traffic congestion that's when there are so many  cars on the roads that they move very slowly and a traffic jam is when cars stop in one particular  place as a result of congestion or a car accident
21
next what are people like in your hometown i find  that people are generally friendly and quite open
22
i mean they share personal information with you  freely so it's easy to make friends but i must admit that not everyone respects the queue so cue  jumping is quite common which stresses me out to
23
respect the queue means to wait in line for your  turn and that's what people in the uk do very well
24
there is even a joke that if you've been waiting  for 20 minutes to discover that there is no queue
25
you're british cue jumping is quite rare  here before we move on to the other questions i just want to say that you should practice your  answers to these questions but don't learn them by
26
heart to keep them natural and if you want to work  on your speaking skills with the teacher a great place to do that is cambly the sponsor of today's  video it's an online learning platform where you
27
can practice your english with the native speaking  teachers at any time that suits you you can choose a teacher you like or book lessons with different  teachers to get used to a variety of accents you
28
can suggest a topic for your lesson or take ielts  speaking lessons or even a mock speaking test
29

30

31
you should definitely consider taking the free  lesson while it's available all the links are in the video description box below and now let's  continue you may be asked one of these questions
32
what is your town known for or what is  the most interesting part of your town or
33
what would you recommend a  visitor to see or do in your town
34
think what you could say in advance to  avoid being caught off guard here is my idea
35
on the outskirts of almaty there is an  outdoor skating rink called medellin
36
it's famous because of its high altitude and  it's even hosted some international competitions
37
i think it's definitely worth seeing even for  people who don't skate because the views from there are simply breathtaking on the outskirts  of the city that's near the edge of the city far
38
from the city center to be worth seeing that's a  good phrase breathtaking that's something that is so beautiful that it takes your breath away  a breathtaking view is a common collocation
39
what kinds of jobs do people in your town  or village do that's a common question but quite a tough one even people who speak english  very well may find it difficult to answer it
40
you can actually see a mock speaking exam  with this question linked in the description
41
so here is what i would say i suppose that  most people work in manufacturing i know that there are some big factories in elma  team others work in small businesses such as
42
shops and restaurants also almaty is known as  the financial center of kazakhstan which means that some of the country's largest banks and this  stock exchange are based in the city when you're
43
talking about your city or village you can start  by saying that most people work in manufacturing agriculture fishing hospitality the services  industry just choose the ones that suit you
44
usually a lot of people work in small and  medium-sized businesses such as shops and restaurants and you can say if there are  banks or if there are no banks where you live
45
and that will basically be enough next has your  hometown changed much since you were a child
46
a lot when i see old photographs of almaty  i can hardly recognize it it used to be a quiet medium-sized town but in recent years  big developments have sprung up like mushrooms
47
the city center is now dominated by glass and  concrete offices and big shopping malls i think the city has almost doubled in size in the last  20 years and has completely changed its appearance
48
okay it used to be that's something you can say  when something was true in the past but it's not true anymore it used to be a quiet town to spring  up like mushrooms that means to grow very quickly
49
and that's a common idiom to talk about  buildings glass and concrete offices
50
shopping malls to double in size that means to  become twice larger and basically this question is a great opportunity to use the perfect tense it  has doubled in size or it hasn't changed much next
51
would you say it's a good place to live and  why you know there are a lot of great things about living in almaty i like its climate the hot  sunny summers and snowy winters i also think that
52
almaty's universities are the best in the country  and the city offers good work opportunities
53
however traffic congestion and the related air  pollution are big problems for those living there
54

Perché esercitarsi a parlare con questo video?

Il video sulla parte 1 del Speaking IELTS dedicata alla città natale è un ottimo strumento per chi vuole migliorare la fluidità e la naturalità nel parlare inglese. Le domande e le risposte reali offrono un contesto pratico, ideale per esercitarsi con il shadowing in inglese (tecnica di ripetizione immediata delle frasi). Attraverso l'analisi di esempi corretti e sbagliati, si impara a evitare risposte memorizzate e a comunicare in modo autentico, fondamentale per superare l'esame IELTS. Inoltre, le parole chiave e le espressioni utili fornite aiutano a arricchire il proprio vocabolario in contesti concreti.

Grammatica e espressioni nel contesto

Nel video, ci sono diverse strutture linguistiche da notare:
1. "It used to be...": Per descrivere situazioni passate che non sono più valide (es. "It used to be a quiet medium-sized town").
2. "Spring up like mushrooms": Idioma per indicare una rapida crescita (es. "Big developments have sprung up like mushrooms").
3. "To double in size": Espressione per dire che qualcosa è diventato due volte più grande (es. "The city has almost doubled in size").
Queste strutture rendono le risposte più ricche e naturali, evitando frasi semplici e ripetitive.

Trappole di pronuncia comuni

Alcune parole e espressioni nel video possono creare difficoltà nella pronuncia:
- "Hustle and bustle": La pronuncia di "hustle" (/'hʌsl/) e "bustle" (/'bʌsl/) richiede attenzione all'accento e alla combinazione di consonanti.
- "Congestion": La parola (kən'dʒestʃən) ha una sillaba accentata sulla seconda parte, spesso sbagliata dagli studenti.
- "Breathtaking": La pronuncia di "breathe" (briːð) e "taking" (teɪkɪŋ) insieme può creare confusione; è importante non confondere "breathtaking" con "breathless".
Per superare queste trappole, l'esercizio di shadow speak (ripetizione immediata) è efficace: ascoltare la frase, pausare e ripetere con la stessa intonazione e velocità.

Per chi vuole approfondire, usare un shadowing site può aiutare a esercitarsi costantemente, migliorando non solo la pronuncia ma anche la comprensione auditiva. La chiave è la pratica regolare, evitando di memorizzare le risposte e cercando di parlare come in una conversazione reale.

La grammatica di questo video

Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:

StrutturaNel video
Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — un’azione iniziata prima e ancora in corsoi've been living · you've been waiting
“Used to” used to + verbo — un’abitudine o uno stato passato che non è più veroused to be
Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fawere born · was born · be penalized
Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosamountains which means · people who don · people who speak

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
