I come from Ben Tre, known as a land of the Coconut. It’s located in the area of Southern Vietnam. Ben Tre is famous for coconut candies, coconut handicraft products as well as tropical fruit orchards. I’ve lived there for about 18 years since I started unversity. Ben Tre is a sleepy place with the fresh air and the green space to relax. It’s small enough that you can get to know your neighbours and have a sense of community. Moreover, the cost of living is quite low, to be honest. I think that’s why I love living in Ben Tre. But sometimes I find it a bit boring because there’s not much nightlife. Ben Tre hasn’t changed much in the last ten years, although there are certainly more and more tourists these days.
Thanks for watching and sharing your response. Here are some corrections for you: 1) '...as The Land of the Coconut,' not, '...as a land of the Coconut.' 2) '...with fresh air and green space to relax...' not, '...with the fresh air and the green space to relax...' Hope this is useful for you!
I live in a Patiala it’s a huge city though it’s not the capital city but it’s one of the famous city of Punjab. The city is called as kingdom of king Bhupinder Singh and city is famous for production of fulkari. However it’s a very bustling city. It’s got a very beautiful and happening culture. It’s a city with lots of energy. Only problem we face that winter can be a seriously cold. The city is almost unrecognisable in last many years. It’s expanded so much physically and economically.
Hi. I just had 10 days to prepare for IELTS. And with your videos, I scored overall 7.0 (L 8.5, R 7.0, W 6, S 7), which is more than sufficient for me to make my Ph.D application success. Thank you so much.
I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This amazing city is between the mountains and sea. I like this city because it has a beautiful blue sky, warm climate and we can see the nature almost every neighborhood. There are many landscapes and the most incredible are Christ the Redeemer, Botanical Garden and the beaches like Barra, Copacabana and Ipanema, however I could make a list with other landmarks include the Tijuca Forest (Tijuca National Park) and their waterfalls. Rio de Janeiro changes a lot last twenty years and this wasn’t good, in my opinion, because it grew up disorganized. Today it is crowded and the public transport don’t operate perfectly. Rio de Janeiro is an incredible city to visit but doesn’t live.
Thanks for sharing, Marcia. Here are some corrections for you: 1) Nature is an abstract noun. Therefore, you should say: '...see nature in almost every neighborhood,' not, '...see the nature almost every neighborhood'. 2) '...with other landmarks including...' not, 'include'. 3) 'Rio de Janeiro has changed a lot in the last twenty years...' not, 'Rio de Janeiro changes a lot last twenty years...'. Hope this helps you!

Of course it will take time to get all the students perform . Anyway that's honestly a good subject!
I am from Karachi. Its the largest city of Pakistan. I have been living here since i was a child and here’s a huge change since the last decade. The city has grown drastically due to its commercial value. People come to work here from all over the country. I like to live here because there’s always something going on.

As I’ve been living here in Venice for many years, I consider it as my hometown. It is a floating city situated in the north of Italy and known for its extraordinary arts and architecture, as well as the quaint maze canals linked by bridges. This romantic city is a Unesco world heritage sites that comprises its lagoon, its islands and the S-shaped Grand Canal overlooked by elegand palaces. Famous attractions are the largest square, St. Mark’s square, the Doge’s Palace and other historic buildings. Living in Venice really suits me. It feels like I’m living in an ancient time with its facinating churches and art galleries. It’s got such a rich culture and has a sense of history. This is the only city on Earth where tourists can use a boat instead of car where they can take a picture while admiring the breathtaking view. As a touristic city, the cost of living is high. That can be quite stressful because you’re always thinking about money and how to make ends meet. Humid can be an issue in particularly in the summer and cabln be exhausting to live. You can get to meet other people from different countries but it’s a bit tough to find real friends because tourists just come and leave. Venice has changed a lot in the past few years. It’s much less tourists than it used to be due to the outbreak of Covid-19. Most of the establishments are close in this period as well as restaurants and big hotels. However, the floating city is still there. It will soon back to normal.
Hello! A very warm welcome to my channel for free educational English lessons on grammar, speaking, pronounciation, vocabulary , writing, IETS, literature and much more.
It’s my dream to see Venice but due to financial problems I can’t come there . Basically I live in a dry depressed Riyadh in saudi where there is no rain no cold hot and extremely hot weather .
I live in a small town Derabassi. This is near Chandigarh, the capital of Punjab and Haryana in India.This is a very bustling place. The speciality of this place is transportation. It is quite good to live here specially with family. I have been living here from 17 years. I love this place. Shopping facilities are also very good over there. Many parks are maintained there for children as well as for adults. It gives us sense of community because the people who live there are very helpful and believes in unity.
Hi Manpreet, thanks for sharing. Here are a few corrections: 1) '...small town called Drabassi,' not, '...small town Derabassi,'. 2) '...live here, especially with...' not, '... live here specially with...'. 3) 'I have been living here for 17 years,' not, 'from'. Hope this helps you!
I was born and grew up in a small village in Phu Tho province located in Northern Vietnam. I really like living in Phu Tho because of its beauty. It's surrounded by many mountains and fields. If you need a break, it can easily drive to the moutains nearby and find a quite place to relax. It's also small enough that you can get to know your neighbours and have a sense of community. People here are so kind and helpful. They're willing to help others whenever someone has trouble so I feel like I'm living in a big family. Phu Tho's nice but I find it a bit boring. There aren't many places to go as well as not much nightlife, sometimes I feel a bit cut off from the wider life. In fact, it doesn't suit the young to live. In addition, it's seriously cold in winter. My hometown has changed a lot compared to 20 or 30 years ago. There are more high buildings, factories, schools, and so on instead of rivers and moutains. You can't imagine when you see some old photos of my hometown. Things are so different!
Excellent response! Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) '...a break, you can easily drive to...' not, 'it.' 2) '...find a quiet place...' not, 'quite.' 3) '...to go and there is not much nightlife...' not, '...to go as well as not much nightlife...' Hope this helps you!
I live in a small city of San Pablo. It is 2-3 hours away from Manila which is the capital of the Philippines. It one of the oldest city in my province. It is also called the City of Seven Lakes as it is believed that these marvelous lakes are connected through underwater tunnels though they are quite scattered around the city. I think the life here is quite slow paced as most of the city are composed of agricultural lands and residential areas. Moreover, it has preserved several historical buildings such as the San Pablo Cathedral which is built way back Spanish colonization era that took place a hundred years ago. It may be a fairly developing city however I will never get tired living here because this is where my heart belongs. By that it means being together with my family and friends.
Nice answer, Francesca! Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) 'It is one of the oldest cities in my province...' not, 'city'. 2) '...most of the city is composed of...' not, 'are'. 3) '...San Pablo Cathedral which was built...' not, 'is'. Hope this helps you!
I live in Alexandria,it is a city on the Mediterranean sea coast.Alexandria is considered the second capital of Egypt and one of the biggest ports in it.It was founded by a Greek emperor called Alexander the great before Christ. Alexandria has a wonderful weather and beautiful natural scenes due to its location. A lot of people come from all around the world to enjoy its weather and watch its landmarks.Besides its economical importance,it has a cultural one. Bibliotheca Alexandria is one of the most popular landmarks in Alexandria,it contain different books from different countries in many languages.In fifties Alexandria was a model example for cosmopolitan city, Greeks,Italians ,British and even Syrian people lived in it.Alexandrian people are really humble ,warm and life loving .Many Egyptian artists arose in Alexandria for that reason they prefer holding cultural and artistic events in it in addition to movie shooting.Alexandria is wonderful , I hope that people will visit it and they will never regret this decision.

'A lot of people come...to see its landmarks,' not '...watch its landmarks.' 3. '...economic importance' not '...economical importance.' Hope this helps!
I was born and grew up in Bien Hoa city, one of the biggest industry cities in Vietnam. The city has changed so much in the last twenty years because there were many industries built up and foreign companies invested in. This has attracted huge amount of labor from around the country. Unfortunately, this has caused many problems such as air and water pollution, traffic jam and high living cost. The only real advantage is to have many jobs. It’s not hard to find suitable jobs. And the special thing when mention to Bien Hoa is that there are many beautiful churches. My parents, my sisters and brothers and my family have been living here and All are catholic. I think that’s why I love this city and I can’t imagine living anywhere else.
Thank you for sharing, Khai. Here are some corrections for you: 1) '...and foreign companies that have invested in them,' not, '...and foreign companies invested in'. 2) '...attracted a huge amount of...' not, '...attracted huge amount of...'. 3) '...traffic jams,' not, 'jam'. Hope this helps you!
I live in Dalat. It's like Paris in Viet Nam - a romantic city. It's famous for the beauty of the lanscape. Therefore it's a local and tourist atraction. It's also well-known for its food, such as: "banh trang nuong, nem nuong..." I really love living in Dalat. Firstly, It's a quite place and it's small enough that you can get to know your neighbors and have a sense of community. Secondly, The atmosphere is so fresh and cool. When I'm tired or stressful with hectic life, I go there to get away from hustle and bustle of my life. Last but not least, it retains original beauty with France architechture, such as: Con Ga Church, Da Lat university. Dalat hasn't changed much as a place in the last 20 years. Dalat is great but not easy to live there. It's hard to earn money.It mainly based on tourism. But I definitely give my love to Dalat. The soul of the city is still there. Dalat will always be Dalat"

I live in Ho Chi Minh city. It's located in South East Vietnam and also called as Saigon. I’ve lived here all my life and I quite like it because It's a bustling and real 24-hour city. People from all over Vietnam live and work there, so it’s got such a rich culture. Ho Chi Minh city ’s an exciting place, but it’s really crowded and it can be sometimes stressful to live there. Traffic jams and air pollution are issues make me exhausted, particularly during rush hours. Ho Chi Minh city is the economic center of Vietnam, so it's developed rapidly. It's almost unrecognizable compared to twenty or thirty years ago. The city has expanded so much, both physically and economically. It’s amazing when you see old photos of the city; things are so different now! There are certainly more and more tourists these days! It's so great and I love it.

Tien Nguyen : u said saigon is lovely name . and u never call that city is HCM city. bạn giải thích cho mình về cái tên sài gòn có j hay hơn HCM city. mình đoán bạn cũng chả hiểu j đâu bạn giống mấy thằng ăn hại và có cái đầu làng xã chả có tý tiến bộ j và là một con người cổ hủ và cũng chả có j nổi trội trong học tập lẫn giao tiếp xã hội sung quanh bạn toàn mấy thằng ngồi net chém gió . mình tả thể có giống con người bạn không.
I think Van nguyen is very rude . Tien Nguyen has the right to have his own hobby. Van nguyen must not disparage and defame Tien Nguyen just because Van nguyen do not like Tien Nguyen's hobby. This is a lack of culture.
I live in Ubonratchathani. It's a big city in the northeastern region of Thailand. The city is close to two neighbor countries, Laos and Cambodia, so it's got such a rich culture!

The living cost here is not much expensive as well.

I live in Ho Chi Minh city. It’s a huge city in Viet Nam. It’s also well-known for the biggest economic city in Viet Nam. The city is located at the center of south Viet Nam, so it has became the transport hub for a long time ago. I’ve been living there for 4 years, since i finished high school. Ho Chi Minh city is a great place to live. It’s got such a rich culture. There are few real disadvantage. The cost of living is really high. It increases year by year. And you’re always thinking about how to manage your expenditure more reasonable. Weather can be an issue. Especially in the summer, the temperature can rise to 40 degrees. Last but not least, traffic jam is very terrible. You can be stuck in road for many hours because the public transport is not good. Ho Chi Minh City has changed a lot in the last 10 years. But one thing doesn’t change, people are always friendly.

I was born in Huong Son, Ha Noi. I’ve lived there about 18 years and when I was 18, I moved on the capital city to study in a colleage. Huong Son is a pretty small village, it’s very famous for its landscapes, especially Huong Pagoda, this is biggest and longest festival in Viet Nam. In the spring, Huong Son become a place extremely bustling because people from over the country come here to attend Huong Pagoda Festival. The rest of seasons in year, my hometown is a sleepy place, air quality is so good, there are a lot of green tree, people is really hard and friendly. Although I love my village so much, sometimes I find it little bit boring because there isn’t much more activities for younger and older, even I feel a bit cut off from the wider world. Nevermind, this place is acctually worth it for me.
Nice answer! Here are three corrections for you: 1. When you say 'I've lived there about 18 years...', do you mean that you still live there now, or not? It's not clear from your sentence. 2. 'College' not 'colleage'. 3. In spring, Huong Son *becomes an extremely bustling place*... Thanks for sharing!

I was born and grew up in Can Tho, one of the fifth city under the Central authorities. Can Tho is located in the Southwest of Vietnam. Although Can Tho is not as big and crowded as other cities in Vietnam, but it is the most beautiful and meaningful in my mind. Can Tho attracts tourist around the world by its beautiful river, fruitful orchards and the friendliness and hospitality of the people in this city. It is famous for Cai Rang floating market, rice paper making village, Ninh Kieu Wharf, Can Tho Bridge-the longest cable stayed bridge in South East Asia and many many beautiful places. The advantages of living in Can Tho are the range of things to do, such as cultural and social activities, and the beautiful parks and river. However I need to go somewhere to build my career because there are a few career opportunities here, that’s why I am working in Ho Chi Minh city now. Can Tho changed quite a lot in the last 20 years, more and more factories grown up. I think it is developing in a good way. Can Tho has always had an important place in me. No matter where I go, I always still remember it.

Thanks for sharing that with us!
I am living in Pleiku, the city of Gia Lai province, which is located in the south of the central of my country. It's near Hoang Lien Son mountains, so the surrounding area is quite beautiful. I've been living here for about 2 years. It's famous for its wild beauty and cafe. Many locals say that cafe must be drunk in the early morning is correct to 'Pleiku's style'. It's also well-known as a rich culture. There are many nationalities here, especially ethnic groups. I really love living in Pleiku because it's a peaceful and tranquil city. If you need a break, you can drive to the mountains and find a quite place to relax. The only downside of Pleiku is the summer can be serious hot! Pleiku has not changed a lot in the last 10 years. There are more people from many part of the country moving to live here. For me, Pleiku is always a big place in my heart. It makes me feel a sense of belonging.

Also it has the most famous library in the world Alexandria library. People come to it from all the world to visit its ancient places. It is a really fantastic bustling city which full of energy, movement and fun 24 hours per day. I've been living in it for 15 years. I really excited the sea and used to go to the beach once a week since I was young but unfortunately now I can't go as I'm busy all the time in my work. The only disadvantage of Alexandria is the crowded roads especially in the summer when people out to the beaches, the traffic become very stressful so the quality of air can be an issue . Alexandria has been changed a lot in the last 20 years, it became completely different, many natural places have been replaced by buildings, concrete expanded everywhere surround us , I'm really sad by what it looks nowadays and desire all the time if it back to its interesting old look which I used to see in my photos.

My hometown is Cairo which is the capital and largest city of Egypt. it's famous for its land marks such as Cairo tower , Egyptian museum, Khalili , Azhar and Salahedin castel. Many years ago Cairo was a center of region's , political and cultural life. its nick name was "the city of a thousand minarets " because it was contain a lot of Islamic architecture . these days Cairo has changed a lot . now there are department store ,shopping centers , cinemas, restaurants , cafes and amusement parks . i love living in Cairo there's always something interesting going on. but the best thing about Cairo is the weather . it`s always mild all the year . People come from all over the world to enjoy the weather.

'I love living in Cairo because there's always something interesting...' → you need a conjunction here. 3. Also, remember to write in full sentences, starting with a capital letter.

There are many green large rice fields that are the most attractive points. If you come to Vietnam and make your own to Thai Binh, you will be surprised with food at there. Thai Binh cuisine is very delicious and tasty.You also feel happy and satisfied by the hospitality of the people living in Thai Binh. The atmosphere is very peaceful and the air is extremely fresh , so you can let your hair down when you come there. On the other hand, there are two disadvantages. The number one drawback in Thai Binh province is the disadvantagous traffic system. But that negative point is being improved . The other is that our province is a little bit sleepy. We don't have many activities to take part in. But, in conclusion, Thai Binh is the ideal place for you to travel.
Nice response about your hometown, Jong. Here are some corrections for you: 1) '...many large green rice fields,' not, 'green large'. 2) '...and make your way to Thai Binh...' not, 'own'. 3) '...surprised with the food there,' not, '...surprised with food at there'. Hope this helps you!
I Live in Bekasi, a bustling city located near Jakarta (The capital city of Indonesia). I've lived in Bekasi for 19 years. Bekasi is famous for its hot weather so people call it Mars of Indonesia. Bekasi is a city that has cultural diversity because people from all over Indonesia live there. I quite like living in Bekasi because I can get to know lots of culture. But, living in Bekasi can be really exhausting. It's really crowded and there's always traffic everywhere. Air Quality can be an issue, too. Bekasi has changed so much in the last 15 years. it used to has a lot of rice fields and swamps. But now, they have turned into houses.
Hi Lusia, thank you for sharing your response. Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) 'air quality' is not a proper noun, so 'quality' should not be capitalized. 2) 'It used to have a lot of...' not, 'it used to has'. Hope this is useful for you!
Thanks very much for your lesson This is my practice : I live in a small town. It's called An Lac Thon which is one of the smallest towns in Soc Trang city. It's quiet peaceful and fresh. I always walk along the river to relax when i feel stressful after a hard day. It's a beatutiful to live . I have been living since i was 6 years old. Besides, it's also famous for long traditional learning. Most of students are very studious and hard work because they want to develop the town to become a city. Despite the smallest town, it's always one of the best schools in Soc Trang city. Moreover, it's also well-known for Pia cake. Another great thing, people here are friendly and helpful. They always help to each other when they have the problem. You will feel comfortable and happy because they are willing tp guide you or introduce you to a place that you have never seen. However, the thing i dislike the most is that the weather is extremely hot. Even though, the temperature has also gone up 40 degrees in the summer. To sum up, i really enjoy living it. I hope that it will become a place where actracts many tourists to learn this beautiful tradition
Hi Pro Lap, thanks for sharing another great response. Here are some tips: 1) '...it's quite peaceful,' or, '...it's quiet, peaceful, and fresh,' not, '...it's quiet peaceful'. 2) '...when I feel stressed after a hard day,' not, '...when i feel stressful'. 3) 'It's a beautiful place to live,' not, 'It's a beautiful to live'.

It's such a cultural place; it has changed a lot in the last twenty years , now there are more tourist places to visit such as restaurants and hotels.

I live in a big city. It's the second largest city after Tashkent which is the capital city of Uzbekistan and beautiful place to live. I've been living here for close to four years now. It has plethora of unique and historical landmarks to offer and welcomes everybody all over the world. To some extend, there are more than 500 Islamic artchitectural buildings which play as role of magnet to attract many people from early century. Also one thing comes to one's mind about the city is cuisine which well know for it's mouthwatering traditional foods, breads and chemical-free fruits. The city has changed quite a lot for the past twenty years. The city has been widened due to increasing number of population and many buildings have been raised for living but traffic can an issue like many cities. Nature is also available which is one - hour ride apart from the city center, one can travel to Nurota mountains when they want to get rid of hustle and bustle of the city and explore off the beaten track. Our hospitable nations welcome all of you to our city.

Thank you so much for such a helpful lesson! I live in Hangzhou, which is on the south east coast of China. It's a huge and bustling city. It's famous for its landmarks such as West lake and Linying Temple. It's also well known for its green tea, what we call dragon well tea, and food, of course. I was born and brought up here so I have lived here all my life. I think it's a great to place to live because it's a real 24 hour city with lots of energies, and there is so much to do. On top of that, it has many beautiful places with natural scenery, so you can easily find somewhere to escape the hustle and bustle and relax. The only downside is that the traffic is extremely busy especially during the rush hours. Air quality can also be an issue particularly in winters. Hangzhou has changed quite a lot as a place in the last 20 years or so. It has expanded tremendously both physically and economically. It is an emerging tech hub and home to the e-commerce giant Alibaba. More and more people are moving here to live and work. Inevitably, the population and cost of living have gone up quite a lot.

thank you so much for your absolutely helpful video hope to see some corrections here!!!! I'm a beginner, so there are a lot of of mistakes.... i'm from Kbang. it's a small town which acquires a reputation for numerous pictureque villages and its local cuisines. i'm fond of a tons of things about my hometown. on the top of that, i love the weather. it is cool all year around. that's why whenever being overwhelmed with hectic schedules at work or school, i tend to come back to my hometown to enjoy the pleasant atmostphere here. that way i kinda recharge the energy to start off new challenge. however, there is just one thing i'm not into there, you know, job oppotunities. there aren't so much work to do apart from agricuture related jobs. that's why many young people often move away to find their own jobs. i wish in the near future the authority will take the responsibility to develop the economy through improving education systems, health care services and infrastructure systems.

Hi! I'm learning English with you since a lot of month now. I really like your videos.Your lessons are very interesting, thank you! Below my exercice : Folligny is a small village in Normandy. It’s a quiet place in the countryside and it’s near the Mont-Saint Michel, so the surrounding area is quite beautiful and you can easely drive to beaches to relax. I realy like living in Folligny because it’s a quiet place. It’s small enough that my children can bike or walk safety to the playground. But there is no school in the village, it can be a issue for no car families. Folligny has changed a lot since the 2WW. The train station was a strategic place and it was bombed and destroyed three times during the war. The population is aging and many young people are moving here to live but they work and do shopping in the larger cities nearby, so there is no grocery in the village. If you live in Folligny you need a car like many villages in France.
Hi Woody, thanks for sharing your answer. Here are some corrections for you: 1) 'easily,' not, 'easely'. 2) '...bike or walk safely,' not, 'safety'. 3) '...since WWII,'' or, 'World War Two' or, 'the second world war', not, '2WW'. Hope this is useful for you!

I live in Ha Noi which is the capital of VietNam. It's famous for its landmarks such as the ancient city of Ha Noi, Ngoc Son temple, or Long Bien bridge. It's also well - known for its food which is very delicious and diversified like Vietnamese noodle soup, spring roll, rolled cake, Vietnamese sandwich... Especially, the cost of food in Ha Noi is very reasonable. Viet Nam is a country in a tropical climate, so the ingredients for making dishes are always rich and fresh. Ha Noi is a great place to live. It's quite bustling and energetic. There're so much for young people to do. People in here are also very friendly. Otherwise, traffic in Ha Noi is relatively terrible. I always spend one hour to go to work every morning.

i come from Madura, one of the Island name in Indonesia. Madura is located in East Java, As many people may know Indonesia consist of seventeen thousand more Island and Madura is include. My hometown, Madura, is also called Salt Island. One of the reason why is called Salt Island is because Madura contributed seventy per cent of national salt production in Indonesia or highest producer of salt in Indonesia. Although Madura has hot weather because it's near by beach, but really enjoy living there. The four top reason why i love living there. First, the price of basic necessary there is still relatively unexpensive. Second, the nature of kinship is still tight. Third, it is rich of culinary, beach vacation places, and culture. fourth, there is no traffic because the population is rare indeed. In the other hand, Madura has not changed much in the last twenty years, although Suramadu Bridge has built to connect easily between Madura and Surabaya (the Capital City of East Java). The other disadvantage matter that still exist in Madura is the public transportation is inadequate.

I live in a small town, it is called Bally. It is famous for it has comforting travel route. Because it is near of Calcutta the high city Bally has developed overtime. Before 70 years from now, here was Tonga cart for traveling throughout the town. But overtime people immigrated from different places and forth they started shop businesses and restaurants, it has now become a good living place for people. And it is a close town so it is obvious that you can have sense of community.

Thank your video so much. It helps me a lot. I can talk about my hometown in more detail and better than before. I live in a province called Thai Nguyen, which is quite near from the capital city of Vietnam. It's famous for its landmarks such as Ho Nui Coc. It's also well-known for tea. There are many famous teas in my province. It's a pretty sleepy place, to be honest. I love living Thai Nguyen because, it's a quiet place and It's small enough that you can get to know your's neighbours and have a sense of community. Thai Nguyen is great, but sometimes, I find it a bit boaring. There's not much nightlife and sometimes it feels a bit cut off from the wider world. Thai Nguyen is almost unrecognisable compared to twenty or thirty years ago. The city has expanded so much, both physically and economically. It's amazing when you see old photos of the city; things are so different now!
Thanks for watching and sharing your response, Hoa. We're so glad that the lessons are helpful for you. Excellent response. Here are some corrections for you: 1) '...which is quite near the capital city...' not, 'near from.' 2) '...get to know your neighbours and...' not, 'your's.' 3) 'boring,' not, 'boaring.'

I live in Istanbul. It is modt crowded city in Turkey and it's a megacity. There are lots of people that are from foreign cities and cultures. I have been living here since I came to university. It is about ten years. I was living in a town when I was a child. But when I came to here I realized that how is living in a big city. Lots of people, huge buildings and complicated public transports. I have growded here with learning lots of things like these. I love this city because Istanbul is a very touristical and historical place. This city has hosted so many communities for centruies. They have left lots of landmarks up to now. You can visit these places and feel the history.There are some nagative things maybe. For examplw traffic is an issue. And nowadays the reguees are a big problem too. They moved here to live. Some of them can be dangerous. Sometimes we cannot feel in safe. This city hasn't changed much in the lst ten years. Only there are more people than it used to be. As a result of this point the cost of living is really high recently.

I live in Islamabad, the capital city of Pakistan. It is a planned city that was built in 1960s. It is home to several landmarks such as Faisal Mosque, Pakistan Monument and Democracy Square. It is famous not just because it is the capital city, but because of its vibe, diversity and extravagancy ranked it as one of the top 4 attractive capitals around the world. There are countless places to hang out and explore. The lush green view of Damn-e- Koh makes the city view more jubilant. One thing that is irritating about it is that cost of living is really high compared to other cities. it has changed a lot over the twenty years, it is much more expensive than it used to be and also its public transportation has improved a lot.
Thanks for watching and sharing your great response. Here are some corrections for you: 1) '...built in the 1960s,' not, '...built in 1960s.' 2) '...extravagancy, and is ranked as one of the top...' or, '...capital city, but because its vibe, diversity and extravagancy ranked it as one of the top...' not, '...extravagancy ranked it as one of the top...' 3) Did you mean: '...one of the top 4 most attractive capitals in the world...' instead of, '...one of the top 4 attractive capitals around the world...'?

I live in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. It is a big valley surrounded by beautiful hills on all sides. It is basically famous for old historical temples, statues and idols related to Hindu religion. Most parts of the city fall under the world heritage site such as Bhaktapur Durbar square, Patan Durbar square and Kathmandu Durbar square.it is also quite famous for its Swayambhunath temple which is one of the world's top sites for pilgrimage of Buddhists. I love living in this city. What I like the most about this city is its ability to maintain balance between its old culture and modernization. But, what I hate about this city is its dense population, increasing traffics and air pollution. Thank god that I live in the quiet part of the city where there is less pollution and sparse population. If we see old photos of Kathmandu City, it is hard to believe because it has changed a lot towards the urbanization although cultural sites have not changed a lot.
Thanks for a good answer. Here are three corrections for you: 1) 'Related to the Hindu religion'. Don't forget the article here. 2) 'World Heritage Site' is a proper noun. 3) 'Increasing traffic' not 'traffics'. Hope that helps!

I come from Ben Tre, known as a land of the Coconut. It’s located in the area of Southern Vietnam. Ben Tre is famous for coconut candies, coconut handicraft products as well as tropical fruit orchards. I’ve lived there for about 18 years since I started unversity. Ben Tre is a sleepy place with the fresh air and the green space to relax. It’s small enough that you can get to know your neighbours and have a sense of community. Moreover, the cost of living is quite low, to be honest. I think that’s why I love living in Ben Tre. But sometimes I find it a bit boring because there’s not much nightlife. Ben Tre hasn’t changed much in the last ten years, although there are certainly more and more tourists these days.
Thanks for watching and sharing your response. Here are some corrections for you:
1) '...as The Land of the Coconut,' not, '...as a land of the Coconut.'
2) '...with fresh air and green space to relax...' not, '...with the fresh air and the green space to relax...'
Hope this is useful for you!
It’s batter example to describe
I live in a Patiala it’s a huge city though it’s not the capital city but it’s one of the famous city of Punjab. The city is called as kingdom of king Bhupinder Singh and city is famous for production of fulkari. However it’s a very bustling city. It’s got a very beautiful and happening culture. It’s a city with lots of energy. Only problem we face that winter can be a seriously cold. The city is almost unrecognisable in last many years. It’s expanded so much physically and economically.

Hi. I just had 10 days to prepare for IELTS. And with your videos, I scored overall 7.0 (L 8.5, R 7.0, W 6, S 7), which is more than sufficient for me to make my Ph.D application success. Thank you so much.

I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This amazing city is between the mountains and sea. I like this city because it has a beautiful blue sky, warm climate and we can see the nature almost every neighborhood. There are many landscapes and the most incredible are Christ the Redeemer, Botanical Garden and the beaches like Barra, Copacabana and Ipanema, however I could make a list with other landmarks include the Tijuca Forest (Tijuca National Park) and their waterfalls. Rio de Janeiro changes a lot last twenty years and this wasn’t good, in my opinion, because it grew up disorganized. Today it is crowded and the public transport don’t operate perfectly. Rio de Janeiro is an incredible city to visit but doesn’t live.
Thanks for sharing, Marcia. Here are some corrections for you:
1) Nature is an abstract noun. Therefore, you should say: '...see nature in almost every neighborhood,' not, '...see the nature almost every neighborhood'.
2) '...with other landmarks including...' not, 'include'.
3) 'Rio de Janeiro has changed a lot in the last twenty years...' not, 'Rio de Janeiro changes a lot last twenty years...'.
Hope this helps you!

Gina, you make the classes very enjoyable. You speak slowly, it's vital for me. Thank you
Thank you Gina for this concise and well led lesson. As an ESL/EFL teacher, I prefer to teach it first, as paragraph writing lesson and after I can ask my leaners to describe individually other towns, villages... they are familiar with. Of course it will take time to get all the students perform . Anyway that's honestly a good subject!
I am from Karachi. Its the largest city of Pakistan. I have been living here since i was a child and here’s a huge change since the last decade. The city has grown drastically due to its commercial value. People come to work here from all over the country. I like to live here because there’s always something going on. Nightlife is quite good and the food streets are open overnight. I think I will not feel relax staying out of my Home city.
Thanks for sharing, Asfand. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) '...and there have been huge changes since...' not, '...and here’s a huge change since...'.

I'm from Visakhapatnam, a beautiful coastal city which is in the southern part of India. It has a great blend of cultural and traditions.My favourite places are the beaches which gives you a chance to enjoy the nature. My hometown always welcome the people all round from the county by giving opportunities and sustainable livelihood, however due to this reason my city is overcrowded and traffic is sometimes horrible. This place has changed a quite lot compared last 15 years both in physically and economically.
Hi Kadambari, thanks for sharing your response about your hometown. Here are some tips:
1) '...of culture and tradition,' not, '...of cultural and traditions'.
2) 'My hometown always welcomes people from all around...' not, 'My hometown always welcome the people all round...'.

As I’ve been living here in Venice for many years, I consider it as my hometown. It is a floating city situated in the north of Italy and known for its extraordinary arts and architecture, as well as the quaint maze canals linked by bridges.
This romantic city is a Unesco world heritage sites that comprises its lagoon, its islands and the S-shaped Grand Canal overlooked by elegand palaces. Famous attractions are the largest square, St. Mark’s square, the Doge’s Palace and other historic buildings.
Living in Venice really suits me. It feels like I’m living in an ancient time with its facinating churches and art galleries. It’s got such a rich culture and has a sense of history. This is the only city on Earth where tourists can use a boat instead of car where they can take a picture while admiring the breathtaking view.
As a touristic city, the cost of living is high. That can be quite stressful because you’re always thinking about money and how to make ends meet. Humid can be an issue in particularly in the summer and cabln be exhausting to live.
You can get to meet other people from different countries but it’s a bit tough to find real friends because tourists just come and leave.
Venice has changed a lot in the past few years. It’s much less tourists than it used to be due to the outbreak of Covid-19. Most of the establishments are close in this period as well as restaurants and big hotels.
However, the floating city is still there. It will soon back to normal.
Hello! A very warm welcome to my channel for free educational English lessons on grammar, speaking, pronounciation, vocabulary , writing, IETS, literature and much more.
It’s my dream to see Venice but due to financial problems I can’t come there .
Basically I live in a dry depressed Riyadh in saudi where there is no rain no cold hot and extremely hot weather .
I was in Venis. This city is beautiful and magical.
I live in a small town Derabassi. This is near Chandigarh, the capital of Punjab and Haryana in India.This is a very bustling place. The speciality of this place is transportation. It is quite good to live here specially with family. I have been living here from 17 years. I love this place. Shopping facilities are also very good over there. Many parks are maintained there for children as well as for adults. It gives us sense of community because the people who live there are very helpful and believes in unity.
Hi Manpreet, thanks for sharing. Here are a few corrections:

I live in a beautiful and tiny village of Kerala .it's great pleasure to live here .My locality pandikkad is famous for its Papad production.
I was born and grew up in a small village in Phu Tho province located in Northern Vietnam. I really like living in Phu Tho because of its beauty. It's surrounded by many mountains and fields. If you need a break, it can easily drive to the moutains nearby and find a quite place to relax. It's also small enough that you can get to know your neighbours and have a sense of community. People here are so kind and helpful. They're willing to help others whenever someone has trouble so I feel like I'm living in a big family. Phu Tho's nice but I find it a bit boring. There aren't many places to go as well as not much nightlife, sometimes I feel a bit cut off from the wider life. In fact, it doesn't suit the young to live. In addition, it's seriously cold in winter.
My hometown has changed a lot compared to 20 or 30 years ago. There are more high buildings, factories, schools, and so on instead of rivers and moutains. You can't imagine when you see some old photos of my hometown. Things are so different!
Excellent response! Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) '...a break, you can easily drive to...' not, 'it.'
2) '...find a quiet place...' not, 'quite.'
3) '...to go and there is not much nightlife...' not, '...to go as well as not much nightlife...'

I live in a small city of San Pablo. It is 2-3 hours away from Manila which is the capital of the Philippines. It one of the oldest city in my province. It is also called the City of Seven Lakes as it is believed that these marvelous lakes are connected through underwater tunnels though they are quite scattered around the city. I think the life here is quite slow paced as most of the city are composed of agricultural lands and residential areas. Moreover, it has preserved several historical buildings such as the San Pablo Cathedral which is built way back Spanish colonization era that took place a hundred years ago. It may be a fairly developing city however I will never get tired living here because this is where my heart belongs. By that it means being together with my family and friends.
Nice answer, Francesca! Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) 'It is one of the oldest cities in my province...' not, 'city'.
2) '...most of the city is composed of...' not, 'are'.
3) '...San Pablo Cathedral which was built...' not, 'is'.

I live in Alexandria,it is a city on the Mediterranean sea coast.Alexandria is considered the second capital of Egypt and one of the biggest ports in it.It was founded by a Greek emperor called Alexander the great before Christ. Alexandria has a wonderful weather and beautiful natural scenes due to its location. A lot of people come from all around the world to enjoy its weather and watch its landmarks.Besides its economical importance,it has a cultural one. Bibliotheca Alexandria is one of the most popular landmarks in Alexandria,it contain different books from different countries in many languages.In fifties Alexandria was a model example for cosmopolitan city, Greeks,Italians ,British and even Syrian people lived in it.Alexandrian people are really humble ,warm and life loving .Many Egyptian artists arose in Alexandria for that reason they prefer holding cultural and artistic events in it in addition to movie shooting.Alexandria is wonderful , I hope that people will visit it and they will never regret this decision.
Nice answer! I like the details and your vocabulary is good. Here are three language points for you:
1. 'Alexandria has wonderful weather...' not '...a wonderful weather.'
2. 'A lot of people come...to see its landmarks,' not '...watch its landmarks.'
3. '...economic importance' not '...economical importance.'

I was born and grew up in Bien Hoa city, one of the biggest industry cities in Vietnam. The city has changed so much in the last twenty years because there were many industries built up and foreign companies invested in. This has attracted huge amount of labor from around the country. Unfortunately, this has caused many problems such as air and water pollution, traffic jam and high living cost. The only real advantage is to have many jobs. It’s not hard to find suitable jobs. And the special thing when mention to Bien Hoa is that there are many beautiful churches. My parents, my sisters and brothers and my family have been living here and All are catholic. I think that’s why I love this city and I can’t imagine living anywhere else.
Thank you for sharing, Khai. Here are some corrections for you:

I live in Dalat. It's like Paris in Viet Nam - a romantic city. It's famous for the beauty of the lanscape. Therefore it's a local and tourist atraction. It's also well-known for its food, such as: "banh trang nuong, nem nuong..."
I really love living in Dalat. Firstly, It's a quite place and it's small enough that you can get to know your neighbors and have a sense of community. Secondly, The atmosphere is so fresh and cool. When I'm tired or stressful with hectic life, I go there to get away from hustle and bustle of my life. Last but not least, it retains original beauty with France architechture, such as: Con Ga Church, Da Lat university. Dalat hasn't changed much as a place in the last 20 years.
Dalat is great but not easy to live there. It's hard to earn money.It mainly based on tourism. But I definitely give my love to Dalat. The soul of the city is still there. Dalat will always be Dalat"

I live in Hanoi,the capital city of Vietnam.I've been living there for 3 years,since I entered my university.It's a bustling place and the second largest city in my country. People from different areas come there with their hope to have better life.Hanoi's famous for its landmarks such as the Hoan Kien lake,old quarter,temple of literature,Ho Chi Minh mausoleum,...as well as special delicious foods. I quite like living in Hanoi,because it's got a rich traditional culture for thousands years in records of buillding and holding country process against invaders.There 's always something interesting going on,but it's crowded with lots of people and the transportation is so much heavy that it always gets me in traffic jams.Moreover,the cost of living there is really high, that stressed me a lot.Hanoi has changed a lot in the last 20 years. It's not much more ancient beautiful place as it used to be;it's more and more modern and developing.However,the soul and the traditional values of the city are still remain unchangeable.

Hi, welcome to my hometown. I Live in Yangon which is the commercial city of Myanmar. I live in downtown in a three room flat on the first floor with my sibling. I love living in Yangon for it's a huge, bustling ang international city. My city is famous for it's landmarks such as Shwedagon, Sule and Botahtaung pagodas. It's a great place to live. There is so much great food everywhere. There is a lot of shopping malls, theraters, sport centers, museums, schools, universities. Yangon is impressive to live, but the living cost is really high. That can be quite stressful. And also air quantity can be an issue, especially, in the summer. It has changed a lot in the 10 years, things are so different now.

I live in Ho Chi Minh city. It's located in South East Vietnam and also called as Saigon. I’ve lived here all my life and I quite like it because It's a bustling and real 24-hour city. People from all over Vietnam live and work there, so it’s got such a rich culture.
Ho Chi Minh city ’s an exciting place, but it’s really crowded and it can be sometimes stressful to live there. Traffic jams and air pollution are issues make me exhausted, particularly during rush hours.
Ho Chi Minh city is the economic center of Vietnam, so it's developed rapidly. It's almost unrecognizable compared to twenty or thirty years ago. The city has expanded so much, both physically and economically. It’s amazing when you see old photos of the city; things are so different now! There are certainly more and more tourists these days! It's so great and I love it.
Hi Hoàng, thanks for a good answer. Here are some corrections for you:
1) Capitalize 'Ho Chi Minh City' because 'city' is part of the name.
2) Don't capitalize 'southeast'. Also, it's one word.
3) 'It can sometimes be stressful,' not, 'it can be sometimes stressful'.
Hope that helps!
Saigon is lovely name. I never call that city is HCM city.
Tien Nguyen : u said saigon is lovely name . and u never call that city is HCM city. bạn giải thích cho mình về cái tên sài gòn có j hay hơn HCM city. mình đoán bạn cũng chả hiểu j đâu bạn giống mấy thằng ăn hại và có cái đầu làng xã chả có tý tiến bộ j và là một con người cổ hủ và cũng chả có j nổi trội trong học tập lẫn giao tiếp xã hội sung quanh bạn toàn mấy thằng ngồi net chém gió . mình tả thể có giống con người bạn không.
I think Van nguyen is very rude . Tien Nguyen has the right to have his own hobby. Van nguyen must not disparage and defame Tien Nguyen just because Van nguyen do not like Tien Nguyen's hobby. This is a lack of culture.

I live in Ubonratchathani. It's a big city in the northeastern region of
Thailand. The city is close to two neighbor countries, Laos and
Cambodia, so it's got such a rich culture! There are so many Buddhist
temples around the city center and even in the countryside. People here
are very kind and helpful. It's a quiet and peaceful city. The living cost here
is not much expensive as well.
Nice answer about your city. Here are some things to think about:
1) Use the adjective 'neighboring' here, 'The city is close to two neighboring countries...'.
2) The 'cost of living' not 'living cost'.
3) '...is not very expensive', not, 'much'.

I live in Ho Chi Minh city. It’s a huge city in Viet Nam. It’s also well-known for the biggest economic city in Viet Nam. The city is located at the center of south Viet Nam, so it has became the transport hub for a long time ago. I’ve been living there for 4 years, since i finished high school. Ho Chi Minh city is a great place to live. It’s got such a rich culture. There are few real disadvantage. The cost of living is really high. It increases year by year. And you’re always thinking about how to manage your expenditure more reasonable. Weather can be an issue. Especially in the summer, the temperature can rise to 40 degrees. Last but not least, traffic jam is very terrible. You can be stuck in road for many hours because the public transport is not good. Ho Chi Minh City has changed a lot in the last 10 years. But one thing doesn’t change, people are always friendly.

I was born in Huong Son, Ha Noi. I’ve lived there about 18 years and when I was 18, I moved on the capital city to study in a colleage. Huong Son is a pretty small village, it’s very famous for its landscapes, especially Huong Pagoda, this is biggest and longest festival in Viet Nam. In the spring, Huong Son become a place extremely bustling because people from over the country come here to attend Huong Pagoda Festival. The rest of seasons in year, my hometown is a sleepy place, air quality is so good, there are a lot of green tree, people is really hard and friendly. Although I love my village so much, sometimes I find it little bit boring because there isn’t much more activities for younger and older, even I feel a bit cut off from the wider world. Nevermind, this place is acctually worth it for me.
Nice answer! Here are three corrections for you:
1. When you say 'I've lived there about 18 years...', do you mean that you still live there now, or not? It's not clear from your sentence.
2. 'College' not 'colleage'.
3. In spring, Huong Son *becomes an extremely bustling place*...

I've been living there since I retired for about two years. Living in Marrakech suits me, because a healthy climate, many activities where I can spend time and have fun. Marrakech is a bit stressful by the high cost of living, but I always find how to make ends meet. Marrakech has changed a lot in the last thirty years. Though the soul of the city is conserved, it has expanded so much. All the houses of the city became huge buildings. Now the it's more international, more expensive, but lovely.

I was born and grew up in Can Tho, one of the fifth city under the Central authorities. Can Tho is located in the Southwest of Vietnam.
Although Can Tho is not as big and crowded as other cities in Vietnam, but it is the most beautiful and meaningful in my mind.
Can Tho attracts tourist around the world by its beautiful river, fruitful orchards and the friendliness and hospitality of the people in this city. It is famous for Cai Rang floating market, rice paper making village, Ninh Kieu Wharf, Can Tho Bridge-the longest cable stayed bridge in South East Asia and many many beautiful places.
The advantages of living in Can Tho are the range of things to do, such as cultural and social activities, and the beautiful parks and river.
However I need to go somewhere to build my career because there are a few career opportunities here, that’s why I am working in Ho Chi Minh city now.
Can Tho changed quite a lot in the last 20 years, more and more factories grown up. I think it is developing in a good way.
Can Tho has always had an important place in me. No matter where I go, I always still remember it.
Nice answer! Here are three corrections for you:
1) You can use 'although' or 'but' in a sentence, but don't use both in the same sentence.
2) 'Can Tho attracts tourists from around the world thanks to its beautiful river...'
3) 'There are few career opportunities here', not '...a few career opportunities...'

I am living in Pleiku, the city of Gia Lai province, which is located in the south of the central of my country. It's near Hoang Lien Son mountains, so the surrounding area is quite beautiful. I've been living here for about 2 years. It's famous for its wild beauty and cafe. Many locals say that cafe must be drunk in the early morning is correct to 'Pleiku's style'. It's also well-known as a rich culture. There are many nationalities here, especially ethnic groups. I really love living in Pleiku because it's a peaceful and tranquil city. If you need a break, you can drive to the mountains and find a quite place to relax. The only downside of Pleiku is the summer can be serious hot! Pleiku has not changed a lot in the last 10 years. There are more people from many part of the country moving to live here. For me, Pleiku is always a big place in my heart. It makes me feel a sense of belonging.

Also it has the most famous library in the world Alexandria library. People come to it from all the world to visit its ancient places. It is a really fantastic bustling city which full of energy, movement and fun 24 hours per day.
I've been living in it for 15 years. I really excited the sea and used to go to the beach once a week since I was young but unfortunately now I can't go as I'm busy all the time in my work. The only disadvantage of Alexandria is the crowded roads especially in the summer when people out to the beaches, the traffic become very stressful so the quality of air can be an issue . Alexandria has been changed a lot in the last 20 years, it became completely different, many natural places have been replaced by buildings, concrete expanded everywhere surround us , I'm really sad by what it looks nowadays and desire all the time if it back to its interesting old look which I used to see in my photos.

My hometown is Cairo which is the capital and largest city of Egypt. it's famous for its land marks such as Cairo tower , Egyptian museum, Khalili , Azhar and Salahedin castel.
Many years ago Cairo was a center of region's , political and cultural life. its nick name was "the city of a thousand minarets " because it was contain a lot of Islamic architecture .
these days Cairo has changed a lot . now there are department store ,shopping centers , cinemas, restaurants , cafes and amusement parks . i love living in Cairo there's always something interesting going on.
but the best thing about Cairo is the weather . it`s always mild all the year . People come from all over the world to enjoy the weather.
Great answer, Abdallah. Thanks for posting that! Here are three corrections for you:
1. '...because it contained...' not '...it was contain...'
2. 'I love living in Cairo because there's always something interesting...' → you need a conjunction here.
3. Also, remember to write in full sentences, starting with a capital letter. Don't put a space before your punctuation.
Hope this makes sense!

I live in Thai Binh Province, which is a small province lying by the sea of Vietnam .My province is the one of the most beautiful places to pay a visit. There are many green large rice fields that are the most attractive points. If you come to Vietnam and make your own to Thai Binh, you will be surprised with food at there. Thai Binh cuisine is very delicious and tasty.You also feel happy and satisfied by the hospitality of the people living in Thai Binh. The atmosphere is very peaceful and the air is extremely fresh , so you can let your hair down when you come there. On the other hand, there are two disadvantages. The number one drawback in Thai Binh province is the disadvantagous traffic system. But that negative point is being improved . The other is that our province is a little bit sleepy. We don't have many activities to take part in. But, in conclusion, Thai Binh is the ideal place for you to travel.
Nice response about your hometown, Jong. Here are some corrections for you:
1) '...many large green rice fields,' not, 'green large'.

But now, they have turned into houses.
Hi Lusia, thank you for sharing your response. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) 'air quality' is not a proper noun, so 'quality' should not be capitalized.
2) 'It used to have a lot of...' not, 'it used to has'.
Hope this is useful for you!
Thanks very much for your lesson
This is my practice : I live in a small town. It's called An Lac Thon which is one of the smallest towns in Soc Trang city. It's quiet peaceful and fresh. I always walk along the river to relax when i feel stressful after a hard day. It's a beatutiful to live . I have been living since i was 6 years old. Besides, it's also famous for long traditional learning. Most of students are very studious and hard work because they want to develop the town to become a city. Despite the smallest town, it's always one of the best schools in Soc Trang city. Moreover, it's also well-known for Pia cake. Another great thing, people here are friendly and helpful. They always help to each other when they have the problem. You will feel comfortable and happy because they are willing tp guide you or introduce you to a place that you have never seen. However, the thing i dislike the most is that the weather is extremely hot. Even though, the temperature has also gone up 40 degrees in the summer. To sum up, i really enjoy living it. I hope that it will become a place where actracts many tourists to learn this beautiful tradition
Hi Pro Lap, thanks for sharing another great response. Here are some tips:
1) '...it's quite peaceful,' or, '...it's quiet, peaceful, and fresh,' not, '...it's quiet peaceful'.
2) '...when I feel stressed after a hard day,' not, '...when i feel stressful'.
3) 'It's a beautiful place to live,' not, 'It's a beautiful to live'.
Hope this helps you!

I'm living on a caribbean island . It's a really small island, also is famous because of the big amount of pearls there. It's such a cultural place; it has changed a lot in the last twenty years , now there are more tourist places to visit such as restaurants and hotels. I love living on this island because there's always a good place to go. In August, the island is crowed specially at the beaches (wich are stunning). Is a really nice place to go if you want to be in a quiet area or go to the beach frequently.

Ho Chi Minh city is famous for its Ben Thanh market, Bui Vien street where people can enjoy a night life activities and the 81 floors Landmark. However, it also has a few negative sides, the air quality is not fresh and good and traffic jam can be a problem.

I live in a big city. It's the second largest city after Tashkent which is the capital city of Uzbekistan and beautiful place to live. I've been living here for close to four years now. It has plethora of unique and historical landmarks to offer and welcomes everybody all over the world. To some extend, there are more than 500 Islamic artchitectural buildings which play as role of magnet to attract many people from early century. Also one thing comes to one's mind about the city is cuisine which well know for it's mouthwatering traditional foods, breads and chemical-free fruits. The city has changed quite a lot for the past twenty years. The city has been widened due to increasing number of population and many buildings have been raised for living but traffic can an issue like many cities. Nature is also available which is one - hour ride apart from the city center, one can travel to Nurota mountains when they want to get rid of hustle and bustle of the city and explore off the beaten track. Our hospitable nations welcome all of you to our city.
Hi Amira, thanks for sharing! Here are some corrections for you:

I live in Hangzhou, which is on the south east coast of China. It's a huge and bustling city. It's famous for its landmarks such as West lake and Linying Temple. It's also well known for its green tea, what we call dragon well tea, and food, of course. I was born and brought up here so I have lived here all my life. I think it's a great to place to live because it's a real 24 hour city with lots of energies, and there is so much to do. On top of that, it has many beautiful places with natural scenery, so you can easily find somewhere to escape the hustle and bustle and relax. The only downside is that the traffic is extremely busy especially during the rush hours. Air quality can also be an issue particularly in winters. Hangzhou has changed quite a lot as a place in the last 20 years or so. It has expanded tremendously both physically and economically. It is an emerging tech hub and home to the e-commerce giant Alibaba. More and more people are moving here to live and work. Inevitably, the population and cost of living have gone up quite a lot.
Hi Li Shen, thanks for sharing your answer about your hometown. Here are some corrections for you:

i'm from Kbang. it's a small town which acquires a reputation for numerous pictureque villages and its local cuisines.
i'm fond of a tons of things about my hometown. on the top of that, i love the weather. it is cool all year around. that's why whenever being overwhelmed with hectic schedules at work or school, i tend to come back to my hometown to enjoy the pleasant atmostphere here. that way i kinda recharge the energy to start off new challenge.
however, there is just one thing i'm not into there, you know, job oppotunities. there aren't so much work to do apart from agricuture related jobs. that's why many young people often move away to find their own jobs.
i wish in the near future the authority will take the responsibility to develop the economy through improving education systems, health care services and infrastructure systems.
Hi Lê, thanks for sharing. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) Always capitalize the first letter of a sentence and proper nouns like 'I' and 'I'm'.
2) '...which has acquired a reputation...' not, '...which acquires a reputation...'.
3) 'I'm fond of tons of things,' not, 'i'm fond of a tons of things'.

Hi! I'm learning English with you since a lot of month now. I really like your videos.Your lessons are very interesting, thank you! Below my exercice :
Folligny is a small village in Normandy. It’s a quiet place in the countryside and it’s near the Mont-Saint Michel, so the surrounding area is quite beautiful and you can easely drive to beaches to relax. I realy like living in Folligny because it’s a quiet place. It’s small enough that my children can bike or walk safety to the playground. But there is no school in the village, it can be a issue for no car families. Folligny has changed a lot since the 2WW. The train station was a strategic place and it was bombed and destroyed three times during the war. The population is aging and many young people are moving here to live but they work and do shopping in the larger cities nearby, so there is no grocery in the village. If you live in Folligny you need a car like many villages in France.
Hi Woody, thanks for sharing your answer. Here are some corrections for you:
1) 'easily,' not, 'easely'.
2) '...bike or walk safely,' not, 'safety'.
3) '...since WWII,'' or, 'World War Two' or, 'the second world war', not, '2WW'.

I live in Ha Noi which is the capital of VietNam. It's famous for its landmarks such as the ancient city of Ha Noi, Ngoc Son temple, or Long Bien bridge. It's also well - known for its food which is very delicious and diversified like Vietnamese noodle soup, spring roll, rolled cake, Vietnamese sandwich... Especially, the cost of food in Ha Noi is very reasonable. Viet Nam is a country in a tropical climate, so the ingredients for making dishes are always rich and fresh.
Ha Noi is a great place to live. It's quite bustling and energetic. There're so much for young people to do. People in here are also very friendly. Otherwise, traffic in Ha Noi is relatively terrible. I always spend one hour to go to work every morning.

What a great surprise! When I got started to watch this video to learn new words and phrases that could be used in describing my hometown I came across with Gina's a long and rich description of Saint-Petersburg - my hometown. Your example of long detailed story turned perfect
That's great! So glad you enjoyed the lesson, and that the description was correct :).
i come from Madura, one of the Island name in Indonesia. Madura is located in East Java, As many people may know Indonesia consist of seventeen thousand more Island and Madura is include. My hometown, Madura, is also called Salt Island. One of the reason why is called Salt Island is because Madura contributed seventy per cent of national salt production in Indonesia or highest producer of salt in Indonesia. Although Madura has hot weather because it's near by beach, but really enjoy living there. The four top reason why i love living there. First, the price of basic necessary there is still relatively unexpensive. Second, the nature of kinship is still tight. Third, it is rich of culinary, beach vacation places, and culture. fourth, there is no traffic because the population is rare indeed. In the other hand, Madura has not changed much in the last twenty years, although Suramadu Bridge has built to connect easily between Madura and Surabaya (the Capital City of East Java). The other disadvantage matter that still exist in Madura is the public transportation is inadequate.
Hi Andini, thanks for answering. Here are three corrections for you:
1) 'One of the islands in Indonesia,' not, 'One of the Island name in Indonesia'.
2) 'Indonesia consists...' not, 'consist'.
3) 'One of the reasons why it's called...' not, 'One of the reason why is called'.

I live in a province called Thai Nguyen, which is quite near from the capital city of Vietnam. It's famous for its landmarks such as Ho Nui Coc. It's also well-known for tea. There are many famous teas in my province. It's a pretty sleepy place, to be honest. I love living Thai Nguyen because, it's a quiet place and It's small enough that you can get to know your's neighbours and have a sense of community. Thai Nguyen is great, but sometimes, I find it a bit boaring. There's not much nightlife and sometimes it feels a bit cut off from the wider world. Thai Nguyen is almost unrecognisable compared to twenty or thirty years ago. The city has expanded so much, both physically and economically. It's amazing when you see old photos of the city; things are so different now!

I live in Istanbul. It is modt crowded city in Turkey and it's a megacity. There are lots of people that are from foreign cities and cultures. I have been living here since I came to university. It is about ten years. I was living in a town when I was a child. But when I came to here I realized that how is living in a big city. Lots of people, huge buildings and complicated public transports. I have growded here with learning lots of things like these. I love this city because Istanbul is a very touristical and historical place. This city has hosted so many communities for centruies. They have left lots of landmarks up to now. You can visit these places and feel the history.There are some nagative things maybe. For examplw traffic is an issue. And nowadays the reguees are a big problem too. They moved here to live. Some of them can be dangerous. Sometimes we cannot feel in safe. This city hasn't changed much in the lst ten years. Only there are more people than it used to be. As a result of this point the cost of living is really high recently.

I live in Islamabad, the capital city of Pakistan. It is a planned city that was built in 1960s. It is home to several landmarks such as Faisal Mosque, Pakistan Monument and Democracy Square. It is famous not just because it is the capital city, but because of its vibe, diversity and extravagancy ranked it as one of the top 4 attractive capitals around the world. There are countless places to hang out and explore. The lush green view of Damn-e- Koh makes the city view more jubilant. One thing that is irritating about it is that cost of living is really high compared to other cities. it has changed a lot over the twenty years, it is much more expensive than it used to be and also its public transportation has improved a lot.

When you need to break you can relaxing around place, because it have a lot of tree. It's make my feeling so relaxing . However it have advantage at night so be carefully on your self. The town has change a lot in the last tens year. Like that Tourist more and more these day, got rich culture, something interesting going on , real 24 hours city and can meet people from around the world. That all and I want to give your feedback and I will learn about my mistake. Thank again.🥰🥰
I want to live in Japan because people are friendly and politely! The foods are beautiful and yummy, and many places are picturesque!
Unless you really there to live not as tourist
Go ahead! Try it and you dont regret, Japan is considered one of the best countries in the world to live in, but I dont recommend you Tokyo the Capital beacuse is so noisy and smoggy, the life is so stressful, please consider other towns, good luck!
I live in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. It is a big valley surrounded by beautiful hills on all sides. It is basically famous for old historical temples, statues and idols related to Hindu religion. Most parts of the city fall under the world heritage site such as Bhaktapur Durbar square, Patan Durbar square and Kathmandu Durbar square.it is also quite famous for its Swayambhunath temple which is one of the world's top sites for pilgrimage of Buddhists. I love living in this city. What I like the most about this city is its ability to maintain balance between its old culture and modernization. But, what I hate about this city is its dense population, increasing traffics and air pollution. Thank god that I live in the quiet part of the city where there is less pollution and sparse population. If we see old photos of Kathmandu City, it is hard to believe because it has changed a lot towards the urbanization although cultural sites have not changed a lot.
Thanks for a good answer. Here are three corrections for you:
1) 'Related to the Hindu religion'. Don't forget the article here.
2) 'World Heritage Site' is a proper noun.
3) 'Increasing traffic' not 'traffics'.
Hope that helps!
