Describe a tall building in your city you like or dislike

You should say:

• where it is what it is used for
• what it looks like
• And explain why you like or dislike it

IELTS TUTOR lưu ý cần bám sát vào cue card để trả lời:

• where it is what it is used for
  • I’m going to talk about a building called..... which is located in the center of .... close to where I used to work. In fact, it's the tallest building in the city, with about 50 floors.
• what it looks like
  • It looks more like a ‘corn’. Therefore, given its distinctive design, this building really stands out from all the buildings in town. My first impression of the interior of the building was that it was really clean and spacious with so many fully furnished office units and rooms for meetings.  >> IELTS  TUTOR  hướng  dẫn  Từ vựng topic Housing & Architecture IELTS
• And explain why you like or dislike it
  • 2 reasons 
    • Main idea 1: It has become a famous landmark in the city.  
      • Supporting idea: it's just a huge glass tower, and you can see it as you approach my city, and it's an easy place to meet people because it's so distinctive and easy to find.
    • Main idea 2:  The building has spectacular views of the city with the best vantage point in my city  
      • Supporting idea: there are no walls, only huge windows, so you can look out over the city in any direction. I'd recommend anyone who visits... to go there and experience the view.

1. Do other people enjoy that building?

I think many people enjoy that building because it has a striking architectural design — a visually impressive and memorable style of architecture.
Rather than being a purely functional structure, it has a distinctive appearance that makes it a landmark attraction — a building or place that is widely recognised and attracts visitors.
For example, people often take photographs there because its unusual façade and eye-catching features — elements that immediately attract attention — make it particularly photogenic.
This means that the building can become part of the city’s identity rather than simply serving as a place for people to work or live.

Another reason is that the building may provide a pleasant and well-designed interior — an indoor space carefully planned for comfort, appearance and practicality.
If it has spacious rooms, natural light and comfortable public areas, visitors are more likely to feel relaxed and at ease — comfortable, calm and free from anxiety.
For instance, a modern cultural centre with open-plan spaces and plenty of greenery could encourage people to spend several hours there.
Therefore, I would say that people appreciate the building not only for its appearance but also for the user-friendly environment — a space designed to be convenient and comfortable for its users.>> 🔥 Form đăng kí giải đề thi thật IELTS 4 kĩ năng kèm bài giải bộ đề 100 đề PART 2 IELTS SPEAKING quý đang thi (update hàng tuần) từ IELTS TUTOR

2. What are the difficulties of being an architect?

I believe one major difficulty is that architects have to balance aesthetic appeal — the quality of being visually attractive — with safety, practicality and cost.
A building may look spectacular on paper, but architects still have to ensure that it is structurally sound and suitable for everyday use.
For example, they might have to redesign an ambitious project because the original plan exceeds the client’s budget or violates local building regulations.
This can be extremely challenging because even a minor design change may have a knock-on effect — an indirect consequence that causes further changes or problems elsewhere.

Another difficulty is the intense pressure associated with tight deadlines — limited periods within which work must be completed.
Architects often have to coordinate with engineers, contractors, clients and government authorities, so delays in one area can disrupt the entire project.
For instance, if a contractor discovers a construction problem shortly before completion, the architect may have to work long hours to modify the design without compromising its quality.
Consequently, the profession requires not only creativity but also exceptional attention to detail — the ability to notice and carefully manage even very small aspects of a project.>> 🔥 Nhắn zalo 0905834420 join group zalo Hóng đề thi máy 4 skills để cập nhật đề thi thật 4 kĩ năng hằng ngày [Kèm giải & đề làm online]

3. Will there be a rising demand for tall buildings in the future?

Yes, I think demand for tall buildings is likely to increase, particularly in densely populated urban areas where land scarcity — a shortage of available land — is becoming a serious concern.
As more people move to cities, developers may have little choice but to build vertically rather than horizontally.
For example, a high-rise residential complex can accommodate thousands of residents on a relatively small plot of land.
This makes vertical development — the construction of buildings upwards rather than across large areas — an efficient response to rapid urbanisation.

Another factor is the growing demand for mixed-use developments — buildings that combine several functions such as housing, offices, shops and entertainment facilities.
These developments allow people to live, work and socialise within the same neighbourhood, which can reduce commuting time and make urban life more convenient.
For instance, a skyscraper could contain apartments, co-working spaces, restaurants and shopping facilities under one roof.
However, future architects will need to make such buildings more energy-efficient and climate-resilient — capable of using less energy and coping with extreme environmental conditions.>> 🔥 IELTS TUTOR gợi ý tham khảo CẦN VIẾT & THU ÂM BAO NHIÊU BÀI ĐỂ ĐẠT 8.0 SPEAKING & 7.0 WRITING?

4. Why do people like decorating their homes?

I think people decorate their homes primarily because they want to express their personal identity — the characteristics and preferences that make an individual unique.
The choice of colours, furniture and artwork can reveal a person’s personality, lifestyle and even cultural background.
For example, someone who loves nature might fill their home with wooden furniture, indoor plants and earthy colours.
In this sense, interior decoration can serve as a form of self-expression — communicating one’s personality, tastes or values through appearance and design.

Another important reason is that people want to create a sense of belonging — a feeling of being emotionally connected to a particular place.
A carefully decorated home can make residents feel more comfortable and emotionally attached to their living environment.
For instance, displaying family photographs, souvenirs and sentimental objects can transform an ordinary apartment into a space that feels uniquely personal.
Therefore, home decoration is not merely about aesthetic enhancement — improving the visual attractiveness of something — but also about creating a comforting and meaningful living space.

• personal identity — the characteristics and preferences that make an individual unique
  → bản sắc cá nhân

  → sự thể hiện bản thân
  Synonyms: personal expression, individuality, self-representation
  Antonyms: self-restraint, conformity, suppression
  Example: “Interior decoration can serve as a form of self-expression.”
• sense of belonging — a feeling of being emotionally connected to a particular place or group
  → cảm giác thuộc về, gắn bó
  Synonyms: emotional attachment, connection, rootedness
  Antonyms: alienation, detachment, isolation
  Example: “People want to create a sense of belonging.”
• aesthetic enhancement — improvement in visual attractiveness or beauty
  → sự nâng cao tính thẩm mỹ
  Synonyms: visual improvement, beautification, aesthetic upgrade
  Antonyms: visual deterioration, disfigurement, aesthetic decline
  Example: “Home decoration is not merely about aesthetic enhancement.”
• sentimental objects — possessions that have emotional or personal significance
  → những đồ vật mang giá trị tình cảm
  Synonyms: cherished possessions, keepsakes, mementos
  Antonyms: disposable items, impersonal objects, worthless possessions
  Example: “Displaying family photographs and sentimental objects can make a home feel personal.”
