Model Answer 1

This happened before approximately five years, when we moved to a new home. It

was a rented home because our own home needed expansion and renovation. We

had to vacate the old premises as the entire building was to be demolished and

rebuilt. It took around two years for us to go back to our own home. So we stayed

in a new home for around two years.

We moved to completely different location far away from the place where we lived.

It was almost in the outskirts of the city. We got a new rented flat there and so we

chose to go there as we did not want to move in an old home. The place was tranquil

and the flat was very spacious, airy and sunny. It was a very different experience as

we were on the top floor of the apartment.

I had never lived on the top floor and thus it was a very fascinating feeling for me.

Initially, I felt little strange and did not like the place because I was accustomed to

my old house. It was a matter of habit and time. In a few weeks I adjusted and

started feeling comfortable and liking the place. The flat was fully furnished and had

all the facilities.

Moving into a new home is also a very tiring experience as we need to pack and

unpack our belongings and re arrange them. However, I was excited to do it and I

also enjoyed the set up activity. By the time my old home was reconstructed I was

so much used to the new home that it was painful for me to relocate again. I made

some very good friends in the apartment and I am still in touch with them.

Introduction: and When you moved?

• 5 years ago, my grandparents moved in with us from the village.

Why you moved?

• Their health was deteriorating because of old age, and they were feeling very lonely in the village. My father found it very difficult to take care of them and focus on his work at the same time.
• So, he requested grandpa and grandma to come live with us.
• At first, they were reluctant.
• However, after some cajoling by my sister and me, they finally agreed.

Where you moved?

• We had been so focused on convincing them to shift in with us that we had forgotten one thing.
• We had a small two-bedroom house at that time, and it was insufficient for the six of us to live in the house.
• We adjusted for a while, but ultimately my dad decided to rent a four-bedroom house about 5 kilometres from our old house.
• Our last house was rental as well and despite the difference in size, there wasn’t much difference in the rent between the two houses.
• Maybe it was because the house we shifted to was quite old.
• I had mixed feelings about the whole experience.
• On the one hand, I was very happy that I would be getting my own room.
• On the other hand, the house we shifted to wasn’t as comfortable as the old one.
• There was no air-conditioning in my room. So, it got very hot during the day, and I was barely able to stay in the room during the day.
• But, at night, as the temperature came down, I was able to sleep in the room.
• Moreover, I missed my old neighbours and friends.
• There were many children of my age in my previous neighbourhood.
• In the new community, there was hardly anyone my age.
• It got very boring.
• My parents were afraid of sending me too far to my old neighbourhood to play.
• But, on a positive note, this meant that I spent more time with my grandparents, which improved my bond with them.
• I still reminisce about that old house sometimes, but I don’t regret moving to the new house.

How you felt about it? and Conclusion:

• Actually, I am very happy that my parents made that sacrifice for taking better care of my grandparents.

Introduction

Moving to a new place is always a daunting task. However, when we move to a new home, it is always a mixed feeling.

Recently I shifted to my new abode.

When did you move?

Last year, we bought a new house. Since it was ready to move property, we immediately shifted to the new accommodation.

Where did you move to?

From the countryside, we moved to the heart of the city.

Why did you move?

We moved because of two reasons. The first reason was distance. Earlier we were staying in the countryside. Although our old accommodation was not that far from the city, in rush hours it used to take me two hours to reach college.

The other prominent reason was that we got a good bargain. Due to the corona pandemic, there was a sudden decline in the prices of real estate.

My family had taken it as an opportunity, and we purchased our dream home at a reasonable price.

And how you felt about it?

On the one hand, I was jubilant because, after a long wait, I got my dream home in the heart of the city. My life was about to become comfortable because my new home was at a very close distance from my college.

On the other hand, I was upset because I had to part ways with my old friends who used to stay in my neighbourhood. I had spent my whole childhood under their company.

Conclusion:

Finally, when I shifted to my new house, I had a sigh of relief. Although I love my new abode, I still miss my old home.

Introduction

There is no denying that change is the only thing that is permanent in this world. Being humans, we have this uncanny knack for trying to resist change. However hard we try, it makes inroads in our lives.

When did you move?

I had such a situation in my 6th standard, where I had to change my school.

Where did you move to?

From the countryside, we had moved to the heart of the city. Due to that, I changed school.

Why did you move?

The reason for this change was the transfer of my father. He used to work with a bank, dut to his immense contribution towards the bank’s growth, he got promoted to the rank of the bank manager.

And he was given the charge of a new branch opening up in the city,

And how you felt about it?

When my father had told me about this, I went into a state of depression. The main reason for the sadness was my friend circle, I had too many friends in the school, and I used to share good camaraderie with them.

However, I didn’t have any option but to leave the school. When I had joined my new school, I remained upset for one week. However, after some days, I had started liking my new school, and I made new friends. 

I had started enjoying my stint because I managed to expand my social circle. On the one hand, I was in touch with my old school friends through social media and on the other hand, I made new friends in my new school.

Moreover, the infrastructure and the facilities in the new school were better than the old school.

 

 

IELTS Speaking Part 3 : Follow up Questions

Here some examples of follow up questions that you may asked during your speaking part 3 by examiner related to cue card “describe a time you moved to a new home/school”.

1. Why do people move to a new home?
There are many reasons why people move to a new home. But, most commonly, people move for job, education. In other words, people move when they get a job or join an educational institute, which is too far for them to commute daily. Another big reason is marriage or because of children. This is because either they want independence and privacy or because their earlier house might be too small to accommodate the growing family.

2. What problems do people face after moving to a new place? 
How do people solve these problems? I think it depends upon the place they are moving to. For example, if they are moving to a new place with a different culture, they might face a culture shock. Another problem is getting to know neighbours and making new friends. People solve these problems by having a housewarming party to invite new neighbours and get to know them.

3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in the same place?
It is comfortable to live in the same place for a long time. As people are familiar with everything, they don’t need to spend time setting up things again and again. On the other hand, it gets boring and monotonous to live in the same place.

4. Is it good to move to a new place frequently? Why?
I don’t think it is good to move to a new place too frequently. Firstly, it might be challenging to do so financially. Moving involves a lot of expenses. Secondly, it might be difficult to make new friends and people might miss their old place. Finally, from a children’s point of view, it can be disastrous as it would affect their educational continuity.
