chủ đề Hometown – Bài Mẫu IELTS Speaking Part 1 & 2

Let’s talk about your hometown. Where is your hometown?

Well, my hometown is Da Nang city, which is on the central coast of Vietnam. In my opinion, it is an ideal city to live in thanks to its unique culinary culture with beautiful natural landscapes.

Quê hương tôi là thành phố Đà Nẵng, một thành phố ở khu vực duyên hải miền Trung Việt Nam. Theo quan điểm của tôi nó là một thành phố đáng sống nhờ nền văn hóa ẩm thực độc đáo với cảnh quan thiên nhiên tươi đẹp.

What do you like most about your hometown?

To be honest, I would say I like everything. But what I like the most maybe its privilege in natural landscapes. I mean my city is well-known for having incredible sceneries everywhere from the fine sandy beaches to the east to green chilling forests to the west.

Thành thật mà nói, tôi thích tất cả mọi thứ ở đây. Nhưng điều tôi thích nhất có lẽ là cảnh quan thiên nhiên. Ý tôi là thành phố của tôi nổi tiếng vì có những cảnh đẹp tuyệt vời ở khắp mọi nơi, từ những bãi biển cát mịn ở phía đông đến những khu rừng xanh mướt ở phía tây.

What do you not like about it?

Frankly speaking, I dislike the slow pace of life in my city. For a young, dynamic, active person like me, my hometown is not an ideal place for me to expand my horizons or find a better job opportunity. That’s why I moved to Ho Chi Minh city for work. However, I still think Da Nang is a perfect place for vacationers who would only stay for a few days.

Thẳng thắn mà nói, tôi không thích nhịp sống chậm rãi ở thành phố của mình. Với một người trẻ năng động, giàu năng lượng như tôi, đây không phải là nơi lý tưởng để tôi mở rộng tầm nhìn hay tìm kiếm một cơ hội việc làm tốt hơn. Đó là lý do tôi chuyển đến thành phố Hồ Chí Minh để làm việc. Tuy nhiên, tôi vẫn nghĩ Đà Nẵng là một nơi hoàn hảo cho những du khách chỉ ở lại vài ngày.

Would you prefer to live somewhere else? (Why)?

I would say no if I was about to retire from work as my city is a pretty peaceful and quiet place. It is suitable for those who seek an easy and carefree lifestyle.

Tôi sẽ nói không nếu tôi sắp nghỉ hưu vì thành phố của tôi là một nơi khá yên bình và yên tĩnh. Nó phù hợp cho những người tìm kiếm một lối sống dễ dàng và vô tư.

2. Bài mẫu chủ đề Talk about your hometown – IELTS Speaking Part 2

Thẻ bài mẫu:

Talk about your hometown. You should say:

• Where it is?
• What is special about it?
• What tourists should do there?
• And explain whether it is an ideal place to live in or not?

Bài mẫu:

Ok so let me tell you about the city where I was born and raised.

It is Da Nang city which is on the central coast and is one of the three biggest cities of Vietnam. 

When you come here, you will be amazed by the beautiful natural landscapes and the friendliness of our people. My city is well-known for being favored by nature. We have the green mountains surrounding the city in the west and a long fine-sand beach in the east, which offer tourists plenty of choices to see and to enjoy here. Besides, I believe that the cuisine will never let them down. There are plenty of delicacies that tourists can try like Hue noodle soup, Quang style noodles, fresh spring rolls with pork and salad, etc. 

Tourists who come to visit my city can hop on public buses for a city tour or even hire a motorbike and drive to some further destinations like the Hai Van pass, one of the greatest natural wonders according to Da Nang people.

My city is actually a perfect option for those who would like to settle down because real estate is kind of affordable at the moment. Moreover, the cost of living is relatively lower compared to Ho Chi Minh city or Hanoi city. Last but not least, the locals are friendly and helpful who will never hesitate to support the newcomers.

So that’s all I would like to say about my hometown. Thank you for your attention.
