Part 1  The area you live in答案及解析_雅思口语练习「新东方雅思官方网校」

In my district of my city, I don’t know any famous people. I think famous people tend to live away from the crowds in China, in places where they will be left alone and not bothered by people or the press.

Yes, I like the area where I live. Since I have lived there for a long time it makes me feel comfortable. There is a saying: “Home is where the heart is”. My family lives there and we enjoy each other’s company so my heart is there. I like the phrase from one old movie: “There’s no place like home.”

Some positives changes are that the pollution is getting better. It was a lot worse a few years ago. Recently, the government has made some changes to the factories nearby you see. This has had a positive effect on the air quality. Some negative changes are: first, there are too many public bikes such as OFO and Mobike. They clog the sidewalks and there isn’t enough room for pedestrians to walk sometimes. Secondly, there are not enough taxis. It is very difficult to get a taxi if you are in a hurry or it is raining.

I like to go shopping and hang out with my friends. When the weather is nice, I like to go to the park and enjoy the nature. It makes me feel refreshed. When my friends go with me it is even better.

Yes, most certainly. I think that I am very lucky to be living in a very central area of my city, close to great public transport facilities, and quite a few entertainment and leisure options too. There are a few malls nearby, with fantastic restaurants in, lots of shops, a gym, which I go to every day almost, a swimming centre which I attend with my family on weekends, and there's quite a few nice parks within a short walking distance too. So, yeah, it’s a great area. In addition, the community I live in has a nice garden too. 

I wouldn't say people in my area are especially friendly, or unfriendly, really. They are alright, I suppose. I thought they were relatively friendly, before I went to Spain on holiday and found how friendly and happy people seemed to be in service interactions, in the streets, on public transport, and so on, there in Spain. When I came back to my city and my area, I started to think that people were a bit rude, grumpy and not so helpful when you need them to be. So, I have a sort of neutral stance on this – I guess it depends on what you compare my area, my city or my culture with, as to whether you assess that the people are friendly or not.
