Sample 1
Thank you for the cue card. I am going to talk about the topic of the city or town I would like to live in. Well, choosing the city or town for education and work purposes is somewhat difficult in my opinion because we have to look after a lot of comfortable things and facilities. Here I would like to talk about the city Hyderabad which is located in Telangana in India.
Mostly the information industry working employees choose this city as there is a number of resources available like apartments and individual houses are very nearer to the offices. So, in this way, we can reach offices in time by avoiding traffic congestion. For children, there are plenty of international education institutions available where they can get quality education along with other curricular activities.
For entertainment purposes there are many historic buildings such as Charminar, shopping malls, street markets like Begum Bazar and large theatres are present in that city, where people can visit in the weekends after stressful working hours for relaxation of their minds. In my scenario, Hyderabad city is very close to my hometown, which takes only 5 hours to reach,
So that I can travel and look after my parents whenever I have a holiday or free time, which is much beneficial for me. Hyderabad is also famous for the food items where people enjoy by having mouthwatering recipes and moreover they can order whenever they are busy in work.
Sample 2
Everyone has got a city or town where he/ she wishes to stay in some years to come for inner satisfaction. In the past, I never had any idea about a city I would like to live in in the coming future, but at present, I have this town in mind where I love to stay for some time to come. The name of this town is called Elmina which is located in the Central region of Ghana. I came across this town when I was enrolling in high school in 2010. It is well known for fishing and also the first town the Europeans( Portuguese) traded within Ghana during the slave trade era. It is also popular for it beautiful historical monuments like the castle, fort and ancient buildings and statues. Every year a countless number of tourists visit there to enjoy the nice scenery. It also has a rich culture and the people of Elmina celebrate the Bakatue festival. During this time overseas citizens return back home to reunite with their families and friends. I like the place because of the high sense of humour by the residents and also their rich culture.
Follow-ups of Describe a Town or City Where You Would Like to Live in the Future
Question 1:- Why do more and more people live in the city?
Answer 1:- Most of the population in the country are willing to live in a city because of facilities like water power. There will be less power cut and no scarcity of water, and at the same time, everyone needs luxurious life to buy some products related to fashion like clothes, accessories and enjoying in the weekends by watching a movie in the theatre and going for one day trip to water parks with their family. So, all these facilities are not available in the countryside. For that reason, they like to move to the city.

Question 2:- What are the factors that attract people to settle down in certain places?
Answer 1:- There are a number of factors that attract people, like people who want a peaceful life by doing farming and other local business. They like to choose the urban areas and villages. People who are addicted to luxurious life and depending on the facilities and the things they are willing to live in the city. In my view, the old age people who are retired are mostly living the villages by constructing the independent houses, and most youngsters like me love to live in the city to enjoy the culture.
Answer 2:- Basically, I believe security and peace of mind are the main priorities people look out for. However, other factors like easy access to jobs and better working conditions are also important facets.
Question 3:- What are the differences between the young and old when choosing where to live?
Answer 1:- In my view, Young people want all the things by clicking a button, so they were in the mindset that in very little time they need more outputs and put less effort. These all things are made very easier by the technology whereas old people want everything in a conventional way and believe in their own efforts and hardworking. So, considering all these qualities, they are choosing to live according to their own choices. Peaceful life can be seen only in villages with fewer facilities and more away from technology. To answer your questions, the main differences are old choose to stay away from technology whereas youngsters rely on technology.
Answer 2:- I believe young people prefer places with a lot of the hustle and bustle where they easily fit in, whereas elderly people would love to stay in a cool and calm environment where nobody will disturb their peace of mind.
Answer 1:- Actually, I am an extrovert person. I like to talk with others more and believe that the exchange of information takes place between two individuals when they are more open and can learn some qualities from others. So when I’m alone, I used to feel very lonely and get some unwanted thoughts, so if I would get the chance, then I like to share the room with others. When I was working in the city where I used to stay away from my hometown at that time, I shared one room with my friend, and she was very kind. She used to help me in a hard time too.
Answer 2:- When I was young, I loved to live with others like my brothers and sisters, but when I grew up, I preferred to be independent. I feel I should do most things by myself without depending on anyone else.
Question 5:- What are the advantages and disadvantages of living alone?
Answer 1:- In my view, there are more disadvantages than advantages because if people want to live alone, they are more likely to get some bad thoughts and try to attempt suicide also when they are in depression. They cannot share their views and opinion with others, then definitely the other side of the coin will be different. For example, if some got struck to choose one thing with a comparison of other things, they may end up taking wrong decisions so, it might affect their future. On the other side, there are a few advantages like people can freely live as they want because no one can judge them and also there will be no misunderstandings too.
Answer 2:- When living alone, you have the liberty to take your own decisions and practically do everything on your own; however, there are pros associated with this. Sometimes we need someone to comfort us when we are down or even to direct us on certain decision making. If you’re living alone, it is likely to make certain mistakes that can result in great consequences.
Question 6:- What are the advantages of working abroad?
Answer 1:- In my view there are a lot of advantages to working abroad like they can get to know the traditions and cultures of other countries. They can develop some qualities like how to set and be flexible with other people. They can learn a new language livelily and can communicate easily with others. Apart from these, there is a scope of learning new technologies if they are working in the Information industry because more people from this industry get the chance to work abroad.
Answer 2:- There are myriad advantages to working overseas. First, you get the opportunity to experience other cultures and learn new languages. Second, you get to meet new people with different experiences and even earn higher incomes compared to your home country.
Question 7:- What are the disadvantages of living in a foreign country?
Answer 1:- There are a few disadvantages living in a foreign country based upon some live examples and experiences I have faced, like people have to stay away from their family and personal life because they got stuck into the busy work schedule. If they are living so many years away from the family, then probably the husband and wife relationship will be cut in the middle and end up in taking the divorce, which will impact their whole life. Also, if both the parents are working abroad and their children are living with grandparents. As a result, the children are not much connected with parents, and there is a lack of affection as well as the bond will be very weak.
Answer 2:- There are countless drawbacks associated with working abroad. Sometimes, the language barrier becomes a problem, and you find it difficult to communicate with people. Also, you can face racism in a foreign country which might even lead to irreparable consequences.
Question 8:Would you like to live in a developed city with a high salary, but with polluted air?
Answer 1:- I feel that if I am striving for high pay salary and senior position, then I have to sacrifice little things and have to move on. I know that living in a polluted city will have an effect on my health conditions but more than that, I need to be independent and have to continue working for growth. So to enjoy little things in my life, I have to pay more attention to them, choose the high pay and take necessary interventions to overcome other factors.
Answer 2:- Life is the most important thing, and if you have life, you have everything. Getting everything I need in terms of money and putting my health in danger can be very devastating to me. So I don’t think I will go for wealth and put my life at risk.
