IELTS Speaking Topics: Let’s talk about your hometown.

Where do you come from?
I come from a small village in the middle of the English countryside. It’s so small that we do not even have a village shop. There are quite a few houses in the village- it is mostly families, farmer and retired people.

What is it like where you live?
It’s a very peaceful village, with lots of flat farmland. There are always tractors on the road and cows in the fields. A lot of my neighbors have horses, so there is often the clip-clop of horses’ hooves on the road. Everyone is very friendly in the village. It’s a real community.

Do you like live there?
Most of the time I love it- I enjoy the peace and quiet of village life and I have really lovely view from my bedroom. The only downside to village life is the lack of facilities- we have to cycle or drive to the nearest shop which can be a bit annoying. I hate having to rely on my dad to drive me places, but I am learning to drive at the moment. So I should have more freedom soon.

Have you always lived in the same place?
We moved to this house when I was three years old, so it is only place I have ever known as home. We lived much closer to the city when I was born, but I am glad that we moved when I was so young. I really enjoyed growing up in the countryside. I spent a lot more time outdoors than I would have done if we had stayed living in the city.

What is there to do near where you live?
We might not have any facilities like shops where I live, but there is still plenty to do. The beautiful surroundings are perfect for going on long walks or cycle rides- I like to take a picnic and make a day of it. There is also a riding school nearby where I go horse riding- I have lessons and sometimes go on hacks in the countryside.
