Ielts jeremy Chiron Ideas and Examples for ielts speaking

1.Do people in your country usually buy their homes or rent them?
Most people buy their own place. I think it is everyone's dream in China to own a nice house
where your family can enjoy a comfortable life. Most people get a loan from a bank in order to pay
for it. The problem is that the interest rate is very high.
2. How important is architecture in a country's culture?
I think that architecture is fundamental in terms of culture. Culture can be defined in many
different ways and is related to a country's history, customs, festivals, food, and religion, but I think
that architecture plays a very important role too because each country has its own architecture. In

my opinion, architecture is an art form and tourists always want to visit impressive monuments that
represent a country's identity: for example, the United States is famous for its impressive skyscrapers;
European nations like France and Italy are renowned for their ancient buildings (with Gothic or
Renaissance architecture)
．
In China, I think that people know about the inclined roofs of our old
buildings and temples
．
They look like a bird's wings (use your hands)
．
If you look at a picture of
a house, you can probably guess which country the architectural style belongs to.
3. In the future, would you rather live in the city or in the countryside?
I would definitely prefer living in the countryside in the future because urban areas are too
busy, too noisy, and traffic is usually impossible. Roads are always congested; buses are packed
（＝
very crowded) every morning and night. I'd rather live in a peaceful place, especially if I had a car
to get around. I think my life and my family's lifestyle would be much more pleasant. The only
possible problem could be to find a good school for my children. Right now the education in rural
areas is not as good as in the city. However, that might change in the future.
