My hometown has a very old church in the centre. I never go there but I can hear the bells ringing on a Sunday for
the Sunday service. There is a cemetery next to the church which always looks a bit creepy at night.
What does it look like?
Where is it?
Who visits this place?
Does it have any history?
Do you have any story about it?
People in your hometown
What jobs do they do?
Do they have a special accent?
What kind of things do they like to do?
What do the people enjoy doing at the weekend?
Do they all know each other?
There’s a very famous rugby club in my town so I think many people support
rugby. Whenever there is a game you can hear all the crowd cheering the team
on for miles around.
There is a big Amazon warehouse in
my hometown so I think a lot of people
work there.

Bath is a very old city, and the architecture is very old. Most of the buildings in the centre of the city are over 200 years old. I think there
is a law to protect these buildings and houses. They look nice because they all have the same colour, made out of a special sandstone
found in the local area.
Shopping in your hometown
What kind of shops and stores are there in your hometown?
What can people buy in these places?
Where are all the shops and stores?
I live in a big city and there are many shopping malls. There
is one big shopping mall near my home and it is very
popular with people, especially young people.
Younger people like to go there because it looks very
fashionable and modern. All the shops are mainly selling
fashionable clothes and there are two cool coffee shops on
the first floor where you can sit and drink coffee.

Public transport
In my hometown, we have a new subway system. It is brand-new, so it is very clean and modern-
looking. There are only three lines so far but there will be more lines in the future. It is so much
better than the bus. Much quicker and much more convenient. We don’t have any traffic jams
now!
What is this public transportation system?
Why do you use it? Is it convenient?
Is it cheap/expensive to use?
How many lines does it have?
Is it crowded during rush hour?

Are they developing the land and building
with more houses or factories?
The surrounding area of my hometown is just
countryside. Some small villages with just a few

makes tyres just outside my town. I think many
people from my hometown work there now.
