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

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
so you can talk about great and limited job opportunities traffic congestion and of course air pollution right now you can download the pdf guide with the sample answers from this video and

Objetivos de fala para este vídeo
Este vídeo é perfeito para quem quer dominar a parte 1 do IELTS Speaking, especialmente perguntas sobre a cidade natal. O objetivo é ajudar você a responder de forma natural, evitando respostas memorizadas, e a usar vocabulário específico para impressionar os examinadores. É ideal para quem quer melhorar a fluência e a capacidade de se expressar de forma clara, um marco crucial para o sucesso no IELTS.
Banco de frases reutilizáveis
- Hustle and bustle: O ruído e a atividade de uma cidade movimentada ("Adoro o hustle and bustle do centro, mas às vezes preciso de um descanso").
- On the outskirts of: Nas periferias de ("Minha cidade tem uma linda praia on the outskirts of").
- Breathtaking: Tão bonito que tira o fôlego ("A vista da montanha é breathtaking").
- To spring up like mushrooms: Crescer muito rápido ("Novos edifícios spring up like mushrooms na minha cidade").
- Traffic congestion: Congestionamento de trânsito ("A traffic congestion é um problema grave aqui").
Corrija seus pontos fracos
Um dos maiores erros nos exames é usar respostas memorizadas, que soam artificiais. O vídeo ensina a falar de forma natural, como em uma conversa real. Além disso, ele ajuda a melhorar a shadowing em inglês – uma técnica onde você repete frases imediatamente após ouvi-las, treinando pronúncia, ritmo e intonação. Praticar com os exemplos do vídeo usando o shadow speech ajuda a internalizar a fluência e a evitar pausas desnecessárias. Se você quer aprender inglês com YouTube, essa é uma oportunidade perfeita: use os diálogos como material para o shadow speak, repetindo cada frase até que fique natural. Com isso, você não só aprende vocabulário, mas também a falar como um nativo.
Lembre: o segredo é praticar diariamente, mesmo por 15 minutos. Use o shadowing com os exemplos do vídeo e veja como sua fala melhora rapidamente. Você vai se surpreender com os resultados!
Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — uma ação que começou antes e continua | i've been living · you've been waiting |
| “Used to” used to + verbo — um hábito ou estado do passado que não é mais verdade | used to be |
| Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem faz | were born · was born · be penalized |
| Orações relativas who / which + oração — informação extra sobre uma pessoa ou coisa | mountains which means · people who don · people who speak |
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
