Using the table above and the examples I wrote above, write down some ideas about the weather in your hometown. If there are differences, then write about all of those things. If the weather is the same all year round you have to talk about that.
When you have written some ideas down, practice speaking out loud.
I have asked students what can people do in their hometown and I often receive one answer — NOTHING!
There’s nothing to do in my hometown. It’s so boring.
That can’t be true. There must be things for people to do. Even if you don’t like to do these things, other people may enjoy doing these things and that means there are definitely some activities that people can do in your hometown.
Here is a list of ideas to inspire you.
Going to the gym
Playing tennis
Walking in the hills on the outskirts of town
Walking on the seafront of the town
Shopping malls and going shopping
Coffee shops and coffee culture
Eating out and going to restaurants
Going to bars and nightclubs (for older students!)
Dancing in the town square
Visiting the library
Helping charity organisations
Fishing in the local river
Swimming in the swimming pool
Many evening classes in the local community college
Now let me show you some examples
There is a swimming pool in my hometown and many people go there. Whenever I go there, it always seems very busy. I try to go early in the morning to avoid all the crowds.
The pool is really nice and clean. There is an area for the serious swimmers to swim in laps and then there is an area for people and children who just want to lounge around in the water and cool off a little bit.
There is also a diving area with three diving boards. The top board is very high, but I jumped off it once!
We are lucky because in my hometown we have so many restaurants. I think you could go out to dinner every night of the week and still not visit every restaurant in the city.
And the restaurants are all very different in style and cuisine. We have the local food but we also have Indian, Thai, French and Italian. It’s really nice for people to go out in the evening and eat a delicious meal with friends and family.
In my hometown, some older ladies like to go to the town square and do a special kind of dancing. They do it for exercise I think but also they can meet up and chat with each other. So it’s a social activity for them too.
Some people say that the music they play when they do their dancing is too loud. But I think we should just let them do it. They’re not really causing anyone any harm.
Look at the list of ideas I gave you above.
Use these and the examples and write down your own ideas for talking about things to do in your hometown. Practice together with a friend or show your teacher.
The architecture in your hometown means all the buildings. Are these buildings very old and traditional? Or new and modern? Is the architecture boring — if so, why do you think so?
You can use the following words to describe buildings and architecture in your hometown.
Poor | High-rise | Residential |
Wooden | Expensive | Old |
Traditional | Beautiful | Modern |
Luxurious | Spacious | Steel and glass |
Brick | Boring | Ugly |
Many cities these days have a downtown area with many high-rise buildings, all very modern and expensive. The suburbs of the city might consist of smaller houses and buildings or low-rise buildings — this is where the people usually live.
Let me show you some examples
Bath is a very old city, and the architecture is very old. Most of the buildings in the centre of the city are over 200 years old. I think there is a law to protect these buildings and houses. They look nice because they all have the same colour, made out of a special sandstone found in the local area.
But once you leave the city centre, the architecture changes. The houses are more modern in the suburbs. This is where people live.
The downtown area of my city is filled full of high-rise buildings. They are all very high and look very modern. It feels so busy walking around this area surrounded by such high buildings. Some of the buildings are so high that you can walk on one side of the street and be in the shade from the sun.
I live in a very quiet village in the countryside. All the houses are pretty old and there is no real special architecture. People just need a place to live and the local post office to buy some things. There is an old church though, and it looks very nice from the outside. I don’t know how old it is, but it looks very old.
Write down your own ideas about the buildings in your hometown. When you have enough sentences speak them out loud with a friend or classmate.
Your hometown doesn’t just consist of the actual town itself. When talking about your hometown you can also talk about the surrounding area of the town or city where you live.
This is especially true of a smaller town.
Your town may be surrounded by countryside.
What is in the countryside?
Are there farms and little villages?
Are they developing the land and building more houses or factories?
There must be something in this area, now is the time for you to talk about it.
There might be hills or mountains in the surrounding area of your hometown. Or maybe you live near the sea in which case you can talk about that.
Whatever exists just outside your hometown you can talk about it in the IELTS test. This is all part of the description of where you live and the examiner wants to hear about it.
I’ll give you some examples:
The surrounding area of my hometown is just countryside. Some small villages with just a few people living there. There is a new factory that makes tyres just outside my town. I think many people from my hometown work there now.
If you go south of my town, there is a big lake. I have gone past this lake and seen people fishing there.
All around my hometown are hills. It’s like my entire town is in a big hole in the ground! But it’s nice to see all the hills around the town. In the summer, they all look so green and in the winter, if it snows, all the hills are covered and everything looks white.
What is in the surrounding area of your hometown?
Take a few minutes and write down some ideas and thoughts. You must have seen what is just outside your hometown. Talk about this for a few minutes if you can.
If you live in a very small town, then chances are you may have only one bus an hour that takes you to the nearest big town. Or no bus at all.
In a bigger town, you could have several bus services taking people to different parts of the town. Or to other towns and the nearest big city.
You might have a train service. You might live in a big city and have a subway system.
The fact is that every town and city has a public transportation system — even if it is only one bus an hour.
These are the main kinds of public transportation:
Taxi (not really public but let’s put it in there)
Other lesser-known systems:
Shared bike (many cities use this these days)
The best way to talk about this is to look at the following questions and answer them:
What is this public transportation system?
Why do you use it?
Why do other people in your hometown use it?
Is it convenient?
Is it cheap/expensive to use?
How many lines does it have? (for bus and subway)
Is it crowded during rush hour?
And here is some vocabulary you might use when talking about public transportation:
Miss | Stop | Exit |
Line | Change | Commuters |
Fare | Catch | Delay |
Ticket | Pass (a special card) | Passengers |
Leave | Cancel | Run |
Unreliable | Rush hour | On-time |
When talking about the public transportation system in your hometown, in the IELTS test I advise you to talk about the most common or most popular public transportation system. If you try to talk about some public transport that is less known or used, you could run into trouble.
That means that you should only really talk about the bus, the subway or the train.
You can add at the end of your talk that there are other kinds of public transportation in your hometown.
Something like this:
…we also have many taxis, and a ferry that takes people over the river, but I have never used it. I only use the subway as it is the most convenient.
Shall we look at a couple of examples?
In my hometown, we have a new subway system. It is brand-new, so it is very clean and modern-looking. There are only three lines so far but there will be more lines in the future.
It is so much better than the bus. Much quicker and much more convenient. We don’t have any traffic jams now!
Some people complain and say that it is more expensive than the bus. It is a little more expensive but I think it is worth it for the convenience and the speed.
During rush hour it is a little difficult to get a seat but if you arrive early, you can find a seat no problem. I really love the subway in my hometown, it just makes going to school so much easier.
We have a bus system in my hometown. There are plenty of buses to take you wherever you want to go. But if you use the bus during rush hour, then you will definitely get stuck in traffic. There’s just no escaping it.
Sometimes I use a shared bike. These are easy to find and they are cheap to use. If it’s raining, I don’t use the shared bike but most other days I do.
You want to try?
Look at all the vocabulary and make sure you know the meanings of the words and then make sentences of your own.
Then think about the public transportation systems in your hometown and which one is the most common for people to use.
Write down some ideas in your notebook and make sentences.
Then with a friend speak them out loud.
Practice every day!
Do you have many shops in your hometown? Are there just a few local shops or do you have a giant shopping mall with all the latest fashion brands?
Every town has at least one shop to buy something.
These are the main kind of shops you might have in your town:
supermarket | greengrocer | baker |
butcher | fishmongers | florist |
wine store | drug store | convenience store |
book store | pet store | candy store |
As I have said before, let’s look at some questions and you answer them one by one.
What kind of shops and stores are there in your hometown?
What can people buy in these places?
Where are all the shops and stores?
Are they expensive?
What kind of people go there?
And then let’s look at some examples
I live in a big city and there are many shopping malls. There is one big shopping mall near my home and it is very popular with people, especially young people.
Younger people like to go there because it looks very fashionable and modern. All the shops are mainly selling fashionable clothes and there are two cool coffee shops on the first floor where you can sit and drink coffee.
The shopping mall huge. It is on five floors. On the top floor, there is a cinema and in the basement, there is a supermarket but it is a little expensive I think. I don’t go there. I only go to the clothes stores and shoe stores with my friends. We can’t always buy something we like but we like to look!
If I go to the mall with my friends, we like to drink coffee after we have looked all around the stores.
There are many small shops and stores in my neighbourhood. These shops are not very fashionable but they are very convenient and they sell many useful things that we might need in the house or in our daily life.
One shop we always use in the nearest convenience store. It is open until very late and opens very early in the morning. If we run out of things that we need then we can always go to the convenience store and buy what we need.
I see many of my neighbours there and my father always goes there in the morning to buy cigarettes.
The shop sells newspapers, snacks and sandwiches, soft drinks and ice cream. Every time I go there, they always have customers inside.
Now it’s your turn.
Look up the vocabulary and make sure you understand what all the words mean. Make your own sentences if you wish.
Then look at the questions above and the examples. This can help you to form your own answers. Write down all your ideas and put them into sentences in order.
Then practice speaking out loud.
You will not need to talk about all of the above topics about your hometown in the IELTS test.
If you were to talk about your hometown using all the topics included in this guide you would be talking for about 30 minutes!
The reason I included all the topics above is so you can answer any question the examiner fires at you in the IELTS test. If he asks you to talk about shopping or public transportation in your hometown, then you should be prepared. If he asks you about food or customs in your hometown, no problem for you.
Just go through all the steps and you can find out how to talk about your hometown no matter the question.
And as always — let me know in the comments below!
30 thoughts on “how to talk about your hometown in english”.
It is so important to cover these areas used for IELTS tests because they are the ones that often catch students off guard. I especially liked the study charts as they ground students with vocabulary and observation points. The ideas also triggered memories of towns I’ve visited. Travel really helps as it gives you things to compare your town with. For example I visited a tiny town in Sweden and it was like a charming hobbit town with wondrous new customs and scenery quite unlike my own tiny hometown.
That is a great idea, Leona. I forgot to add that to the article… I used to ask students to compare their hometown to the big city we were living in and talk about the similarities and differences. It gives them a lot more to talk about, and in the IELTS test that really helps. How was Sweden? I’ve always wanted to visit.
It is amazing lesson and explanation. I can share this lesson to my students, even they are beginners. And I use this subject as my reference in teaching. I hope you don’t mind. Thank you very much. Wish you all the best.

I come from a very small place in Bihar, called Darbhanga. It is such a small place that one can easily get from one end to the other within 4-5 hours. And for entertainment too, one will hardly get a place to visit.
When it comes to language, Darbhanga is famous for its Maithili language which in itself holds the sweetness of eternity. And the people here are mostly occupied with various businesses, of which business of clothes and eateries are the best ones for investors.
Despite being a smaller region, my hometown holds most of the memories of my life. It is the place where the great Raj Ground is situated with some of the most beautiful buildings in it like Nargauna Palace, Kali Temple, Wish Temple, etc.
Though now it hardly has any Royal significance as it has been converted into two great universities, Lalit Narayan Mithila University and Sanskrit University. In fact, this university campus is the only campus in Asia which has two universities within it.
In addition to the charm of the university campus, one can relish the delicious mangoes and samosas for which Darbhanga is famous all across the globe. And not to forget about the Dosa of the famous restaurant “Rajasthan”, that serves the world’s best dosa which you’ll not find even in the South.
Last but not the least, my hometown holds a very special place in the hearts of people who visit it even once because of the unity it holds in its diversity.

An entertainment activity, such as a show, is something that entertains or is enjoyable for an audience. In order to live a tension-free life, we must keep engaging ourselves. We will be able to maintain a healthy lifestyle. There is no problem in life that can affect your quality of life if you are entertained.
“The entertainment industry is vast and is a reflection of the society we live in” (Karrine Steffans).
Human life is filled with entertainment. Happy hormones are released as a result. Our mental health is maintained by it. An individual’s nature is determined by how he or she entertains himself or herself. the entertainment industry is one of the most effective ways to reduce stress in today’s hectic world. world.
Without entertainment, our lives are also colorless. Entertainment appeals to everyone, whether they are kids, young people, or old people. Different mediums are used by different people to entertain themselves or to be entertained.
We can escape the daily monotony of our mundane lives by enjoying entertainment. Nowadays, life is very complicated and tiring, and people often seek relief from these troubles.

As a form of entertainment, it is anything that is capable of holding the attention and interest of an audience, as well as giving them pleasure and delight. Whether it is an idea or a task, the most effective way to keep an audience’s interest is to engage them with an activity or event created over thousands of years specifically to do so.
There are many forms of entertainment that hold people’s attention since they all have different tastes and preferences. Most forms are recognizable and familiar, however, because people have varying tastes in entertainment. Cultures around the world have forms of performance including storytelling, music, drama, dance, and other kinds of performance that originated in royal courts and became sophisticated over time and became available to all.
Modern entertainment industries record and sell entertainment products, which accelerates the process. In modern entertainment, an individual can choose a private performance from a large selection of prerecorded products; a banquet for two; a party for any number or size; or even a performance for thousands.
A very strong association has developed between amusement and entertainment, so fun and laughter have become common understandings. Despite this, there are a number of serious purposes behind some entertainments. This could be seen in various kinds of ceremonies, celebrations, religious festivals, or even satire. It may therefore be possible to achieve insight or intellectual growth through what appears to be entertainment.
Adding entertainment to a private leisure activity or recreation is the role of an audience. As an audience member, you may play a passive role, such as watching a play, opera, television show, or film; or you may play an active role, such as playing a game in which the participant/audience roles are routinely reversed. Scripted, formal entertainment such as performances at theatres and concerts; or unscripted and spontaneous, such as children’s games, can take place in public or privately.
There have been many forms of entertainment throughout history, evolving due to changes in culture, technology, and fashion. Stage magic is an example of a form of entertainment that has persisted over the centuries. The stories in films and video games are still told, dramas are presented, and music is still played despite the use of newer media. It is possible to enjoy a number of consecutive days of entertainment at a festival devoted to music, film, or dance.
The public realm has been removed from some activities once viewed as entertaining, for example punishments. Earlier skills such as fencing and archery, now considered serious sports and professions by many, have also developed as entertainment with a broader appeal to a wider audience.
Similar to this, other necessary skills, such as cooking, have been staged as global competitions, broadcast for entertainment, and even transformed into performances among professionals. An individual or group may view entertainment as work, while another may view it as entertainment.
Entertainment’s familiar forms transcend different media and are capable of being remixed in seemingly endless ways. In this way, many themes, images, and structures have remained relevant and timeless.
However, entertainment can be distinguished from other activities, such as teaching and marketing, despite the fact that they can use the appeal of entertainment to achieve their goals. There are times when entertainment combines both. Entertainment has been recognized as an invaluable and influential influence by scholars, as well as in other fields such as museology, which has benefitted from its increasing sophistication.
There are advantages and disadvantages to entertainment media. There are some forms of media, however, that encourage the divide between American culture and individual values, despite their potential to bring society together.
It is the primary mission of the media, in general, to communicate information to the public. To achieve its mission, media propaganda must do what it takes to continue to discuss or accept a topic. The media affects and prejudges many who are not aware.

Describe a leisure activity that is popular in your country, describe a leisure activity (a game, hobby, or sport) that is popular in your country..
and explain what you like/dislike about this activity. [You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you're going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish.]
Model Answer 1:
There are a number of leisure activities in Canada, my native country, and people there get involved with these leisurely activities to enjoy their times with friends and families. But, as far as my leisurely activity is concerned, I like to play basketball. Basketball is a rather popular leisurely activity in Canada since people from all walks of life and from all over Canada like to get involved with it in order to pass their times, be it on the weekdays or the weekends. However, even though this sport is enjoyed by people from all walks of life, it is more popular among the college and university going young people. Anyway, to explain a little about this sport, basketball is a low-cost game which can be played either alone or in a team. In professional basketball, two teams, consisting of 5 players each, play against each other in a rectangular court, usually indoors. Each team tries to score by tossing the ball through the opponent's goal, which is an elevated horizontal hoop and net called a “basket”. Of course, this sport can also be played in the front yard of a house if people just want to have fun and pass their time with their friends and families. After all, this leisurely activity doesn’t exactly require a large space. But, whether it is played alone or in a team, people actually enjoy doing this leisurely activity because it is a rather easy and fun way of passing time which doesn’t exactly require too much efforts or time. Finally, what I really like about this leisurely activity or sport is that it is a low-maintenance game. In fact, all you need to enjoy this activity is a ball, a net and the little amount of energy to throw the ball into the basket. What I also like about this sport is that I can actually play it with my friends and my families in our privacy just in the frontyard or backyard of my home. Model Answer 2: At present, people in my country can enjoy more leisurely hours than at any time in the past. So, people have taken up a good number of different pastime activities which they enjoy a lot. Interestingly, playing video games is a popular leisure activity among the people in my country. This activity is more popular among teenagers and young people. Almost every house in our country contains different electronic devices and gadgets, and playing digital games are becoming hugely popular with the increasing use of smartphones. Usually, people play video games inside their home and on their personal device. Sometimes, they play games on their mobile phones and other times, they connect their gaming gadgets to a large-screen television and play games on their TV. Some of the games are available for specialised gaming devices like Xbox or PlayStation. However, it is not uncommon for many young people to play such games while they are travelling or sitting somewhere outside especially because they carry their phones and tabloids wherever they go. I believe spending too much time playing video games can be detrimental while playing it once in a while to enjoy and learn could be beneficial. So some people like it, particularly those who play them, while many parents are worried that their offspring spend too much time playing electronic games on their devices. Since digital games are often addictive, they can be harmful to young students as they might find playing games more fascinating than concentrating on their studies and that's one aspect I dislike about this activity. However, if good games are selected and played, it could help young people learn new things, which I consider a great way for cognitive development at a young age. Finally, such games are a good way of spending leisure time, but it is also true that spending too much time playing such electronic games are never beneficial as they kill valuable time and dissuade people from having other important social activities. Personally, I am not against playing video games, but they should be played sensibly.
Thank you so much for this nice topic. In Ukraine, my homeland, boxing is a popular form of sport and people take part in it during their leisure hours. This is an exciting sport as the sports galleries get filled with spectators during the boxing matches. Moreover, the number of supporters of this sport is increasing day by day. Boxing is mostly an indoor sport and particularly participated by men. This is mostly held in indoor venues, and a notable number of indoor venues are available in our country. Sometimes, young women also take parts in it and enjoy it as much as men's do. Sometimes, it becomes quite hard to manage tickets during international matches. People try to get their tickets in advance so that they do not need to wait in queues prior to the match. These days, the number of such events is on the rise. The local boxers are performing very well in different international matches as well. For several reasons, people enjoy boxing matches in our country. First, it contains so many elements to thrill the audience. The audiences eagerly wait for the contestant to be the winner they support. The boxers try to demonstrate their best during the matches. Moreover, many national and international brands and businesses advertise their products through sponsorship of this sport. I like several aspects of this popular leisurely activity. But I don't like it absolutely. Sometimes, the boxers get severely injured with the blow from the opponent. And often the injuries lead to minor to major disabilities which seems quite crazy to me.

My hometown is both traditional and modern. On the one hand, tradition is preserved by a number of festivals celebrated by local people , and the locals and authorities preserve the historical sites for tourism and education. On the other hand, a whole lot of high-rise buildings as residential places or shopping malls are built, which turns our little hometown into a worth-living place.
3. What do you like about your hometown?
I like the hospitality and the love of people there which I hardly find them in my current place. Everyone is living close together and willing to give others a hand when they need help.

4. Is there anything you dislike about it?
Personally, it’s a bit boring for me because as a small town, there is not much shopping mall or any other means of entertainment. The streets are not very crowded as well. However, I believe that it has been improving day by day and becoming a potential hotspot due to the increasing number of annual visitors.
5. Do you think you will continue living there for a long time?
To be honest, I hope I could come back there one day to visit my relatives and friends, but to settle down my life there is not my plan. I am getting familiar with city life and there are more job opportunities for my future career.
6. Are there any changes you would like to make in your hometown?
I would like to ameliorate the infrastructure conditions there so that I can avoid being stuck in the traffic jam during the rush hours.

Four decades before Nancy Crampton Brophy attained ignominy for a cold-blooded killing and an incriminating essay in Oregon, she was writing attention-grabbing opening lines such as that one as a campus activist in Texas in the early 1970s.

NEW YORK (AP) — Noam Chomsky’s wife, Valeria Wasserman Chomsky, says reports Tuesday that the famed linguist and activist had died are untrue.
“No, it is false,” she wrote Tuesday in response to an emailed query from The Associated Press. Noam Chomsky, 95, had been hospitalized in Brazil while recovering from a stroke suffered a year ago, Valeria Chomsky told the AP last week. But the Beneficencia Portuguesa hospital in Sao Paulo said in a statement that Chomsky was discharged on Tuesday to continue his treatment at home.
Earlier Tuesday, Chomsky was trending on X as false reports of his death abounded. Jacobin and The New Statesman published obituaries for Chomsky, though the former changed its headline from “We Remember Noam Chomsky” to “Let’s Celebrate Noam Chomsky.” The New Statesman took its essay by former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis down altogether. Brazilian news site Diario do Centro do Mundo also took down its story announcing Chomsky’s death and issued a correction.
The Chomskys have had a residence in Brazil since 2015. Noam Chomsky, known to millions for his criticisms of U.S. foreign policy, taught for decades at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . In 2017, he joined the College of Social & Behavioral Sciences at the University of Arizona in Tucson.

Traffic on 10th Avenue in Manhattan. The governor's decision to press pause on congestion pricing came as a relief to Long Islanders, the authors write. Credit: Bloomberg/Jeenah Moon
This guest essay reflects the views of Democrat Rich Schaffer and Republican Angie Carpenter, the town supervisors of Babylon and Islip, respectively. Schaffer and Carpenter are the chair and vice-chair of the Suffolk County Association of Town Supervisors.
When Gov. Kathy Hochul announced that New York is pressing pause on congestion pricing, millions of Long Island residents breathed a sigh of relief.
Across our communities, we hear the same refrain — families are struggling with affordability and the cost of living.
The ongoing impacts of inflation continue to push the cost of everyday goods higher. And the rising cost of housing and essential services has put even greater strain on many families. Government has a responsibility to help address these issues, not add to them. This isn’t the time to nickel-and-dime Long Island families.
As the governor outlined, the potential effects of congestion pricing are often put into two boxes: People will continue driving and pay the tolls, or they'll take public transportation. But a third possibility — that people will choose not to work in the city or visit it — is now far more salient than it was pre-pandemic.
And we’ve heard that in our conversations with constituents, who dreaded the prospect of this fee hitting them every time they entered Manhattan. They tell us that if congestion pricing were to take effect, they would either struggle further under the financial strain or simply not make the trip.

That’s a lose-lose for Long Island families and for New York’s economy.
Congestion pricing also assumes the presence of viable transportation alternatives, but we know those simply don’t exist for thousands of families. Many families across the Island don’t have commuter rail options that stop at their doorstep. For elderly and disabled New Yorkers, even those limited options are not viable.
One thing that makes us proud to represent our communities is that Nassau and Suffolk counties are home to a concentration of front line workers. Front line workers keep our state afloat — going into work each day not knowing the dangers they will face. For these public servants, the congestion tax was not only going to be an economic burden, but a tax on their service.
Additionally, congestion pricing would have a disproportionate impact on small businesses. Small business owners rely on the ability of customers to travel freely and affordably. The additional cost of congestion pricing could deter customers from coming into the city, further impacting the revenue of small businesses already struggling to recover from the pandemic.
Long Islanders are a force for innovation and a model for what it means to serve your community. At a time when affordability is a top concern, congestion pricing would move us in the wrong direction.
There is significant work still to be done to make our state more affordable, and to make investments in public transportation solutions that save money and promote a healthier environment. We need to focus on expanding and improving public transportation options so they are a viable alternative for all residents. This includes addressing accessibility issues for the elderly and disabled and ensuring that transportation options are reliable and convenient.
We are grateful that Gov. Hochul hit pause on congestion pricing, and we will continue working to address the cost-of-living challenges facing families across Long Island. This decision reflects a commitment to put affordability and the well-being of our residents first. By working together, we can find solutions that support our communities without placing additional financial burdens on them.
