ĐỀ IELTS SPEAKING QUÝ 3 (Sep - Dec) PART 1 1. Home/ accommodation
What kind of housing/accommodation do you live in?
Well actually, at the moment, I’m living in an apartment with my family. I enjoy my life
there because all facilities and services are available within walking distance, which
means I can easily use anything I need just a few minute.
What’s the difference between where you are living now and where you have lived in the past?
Honestly, The most remarkable difference between my old house and the one I’m
currently living in is definitely the space. My new house is more spacious, with more
rooms, whereas my previous accommodation is a bit small and not always comfy.
Do you plan to live there for a long time?
No, I don't think so. I still want to live independently and have my own space. I think I
will move to other city to study university. Then, I’m going to rent an apartment.
Which room does your family spend most of the time in?
I’m not sure. But I guess the living room is usually the
place where we often spend time watching TV with my
parents and discussing some story happened in a day after
a dinner and a long day at school.
Do you prefer living in a house or a flat?
