IELTS Speaking Part 1: Home & accommodation – bài mẫu và câu trả lời hay

Do you live in a house or an apartment?

Well, neither, actually.

I rent a small room near my university, on the second floor of a building full of students.

It's nothing fancy, but it does the job.

The downside is that there's no proper kitchen, so I have to make do with a rice cooker.

Can you describe the place where you live?

Honestly, it's pretty small, but it gets plenty of sunlight.

There's just enough space for two beds, two desks, a wardrobe and a tiny fridge.

The walls were kind of bare, so I've brightened them up with photos I took on my phone.

Now it really feels like home, you know.

How long have you lived there?

For a bit over two years now.

I moved in just before my first term, and I've stayed ever since.

I mean, the rent is reasonable, and it's only ten minutes to class on my electric bike.

That said, I might look for a bigger place soon, because my books keep piling up.

Who do you live with?

Just one of my classmates, Trang.

We met in first year, and a few months later she moved in so we could split the rent.

We get on like a house on fire, actually.

Mind you, she's much messier than I am, so I'm always picking her clothes up off the floor.

What part of your home do you like the most?

Oh, my desk by the window, without a doubt.

It's where I study and plan my week.

In the evening I turn on a little lamp, and it feels really cosy.

I guess it's the one spot where I can lose myself in a book and forget about exams for a while.

What kind of house or flat do you want to live in in the future?

Something small but modern, I suppose.

Ideally, it'd look out over a lake, because I love walking around the water in the evening.

Above all, it needs an oven.

I've been dying to bake again ever since I moved to Hanoi.

Come to think of it, a little balcony for a few plants would be nice too.
