Describe a city you would recommend as a nice place to live (not your hometown)
You should say:
-
What is it?
-
Where is it?
-
What do you know about this place?
-
And explain why you recommend it as a nice place.
Sample Answer:
- Well, from all the cities which I have visited in my country, I have found that Chandigarh is the nicest place to live which is also called ‘the city beautiful’.
- It is located in the foothills of the Shivalik Range of the Himalayas in northwest India.
- It is also the Union territory and capital of two states of India, Punjab and Haryana.
- This city was designed by Le Corbusier, a Swiss-French architect.
- It is divided into 50 sectors and each sector has separate residential and commercial zones.
- Chandigarh comes in the top green and clean cities of India.
- There are many famous attractions in the city such as Rock Garden, Rose Garden, Sukhna Lake and Sector 17.
- Rock Garden is a very popular sculpture garden which is built out of waste material and ceramics.
- However, the Rose Garden is the largest garden in Asia and known for the variety of roses grown there.
- And if we talk about the Sukhna Lake, it is a man-made lake where one can see many exotic birds such as swans, cranes, and ducks in winters.
- Lastly, sector 17 is famous among people for shopping and modern architecture.
- I recommend it as a nice place to live mainly because of high end waste management rules, cleanliness, and traffic rules.
- Besides this, the quality of air is better in this city due to more tree cover compared to the other parts of the country.
- On the top of everything, there are more employment options and better educational facilities in Chandigarh.
Follow ups:
1. Where do people like to live in your country?
In my country, people usually like to live in urban areas because of more employment options, good health, and education facilities.
2. Why do many people move to the city?
I think most of the time, work is the driving force that people move to the cities. Since it is difficult to make a daily commute to the workplace from my hometown. Along with this, there are better educational facilities in cities as compared to the villages.
3. What are the advantages of living close to the workplace?
The main advantage of having the workplace close to the home is that it saves a lot of time linked to daily travel. Also, it reduces the stress related to reaching work on time.
4. What kinds of places do older people prefer to live in?
Older people mostly prefer to live away from the cities. Because they like to live close to nature in peaceful places. Moreover, living expenses are relatively less in the countryside than cities.
