Speaking Test Part 1

1. Where do you live?

I live in a modern flat in a high-rise building which is located just outside the city centre.

2. Do you live in a house or a flat?

Currently I live in a flat but I’d like to buy a house in the future. Our flat is quite cramped and I’d love to live somewhere a little more spacious.

3. When did you move in?

I moved in about five years ago when I relocated to the city. A local estate agent helped me find the flat. Previously, I’d been living in a shared house in my hometown.

4. Do you own your home?

No, I rent my flat. I’d love to have my own place but it does tie you down and as I will likely move again in the future, I haven’t bought one just yet. I’ll buy a home when I’m ready to settle down.

5. Who do you live with?

I live with my girlfriend. She’s from my hometown too and we came to the city together.

6. What is your favourite room?

My favourite room in my flat is the living room. It's a comfortable and cosy space where we spend most of our time at home together.

7. How is your home decorated?

Our home was mostly decorated by the landlord but we have added some of our own furniture and decorations. We’ve put up some art prints on the walls, and we bought an expensive sofa for the living room. I also put in a washing machine as there wasn’t one in the property before.

8. Is there anything you would like to change about your home?

As I mentioned, I would like somewhere with more space. There’s not enough room to swing a cat in my current place. My girlfriend likes to cook so I know she’d appreciate having a large well-equipped kitchen.
