IELTS Speaking Practice: Your Accommodation
Speaking Part 1
Q1: Can you describe your accommodation?
I live in a spacious 3-bedroom apartment on the second floor of a high-rise building. The interior is minimalistic and modern, with an open-plan kitchen and living room. My favorite place in the apartment is the balcony, as it offers a breathtaking view of the city’s skyline.
• Spacious → Rộng rãi
• Minimalistic and modern → Đơn giản và hiện đại
• Breathtaking view → Khung cảnh ngoạn mục
Q2: What do you like about your accommodation?
What I like most about my accommodation is its location. It is situated in a peaceful residential area, yet it is just a stone’s throw away from the city center. This makes it extremely convenient for me to commute to work and to access various amenities such as supermarkets and restaurants.
• Peaceful residential area → Khu dân cư yên tĩnh
• A stone’s throw away → Rất gần
• Commute → Di chuyển đến nơi làm việc
Q3: Is there anything you want to change about your accommodation?
If I could change one thing about my accommodation, it would be to have more natural light. Since the building is surrounded by taller structures, it can sometimes feel a bit dark and gloomy inside.
• Natural light → Ánh sáng tự nhiên
• Surrounded → Được bao quanh
• Dark and gloomy → Tối tăm và ảm đạm
