    PAE Speaking

    With answers

    Test 1

    Where is your hometown?

    My hometown's in Ankara, which is the capital city of Turkey. It's located in the center of the
    country, not really that far from Istanbul.

    Is there much to do in your hometown?

    Oh yes, there's certainly lots to do there as it's a fairly big city. If you like going out in the evening
    there are a lot of good restaurants and bars. If you prefer cultural activities there are museums
    and art galleries. But if you like nature there are lots of other things outside of the city which are
    easy to reach.

    What are the people like in your hometown?

    They are mostly quite friendly, but as with most big cities everyone is often busy so it may seem
    as if they are not interested in speaking or having a chat. But if you live there you know that most
    people are quite happy to have a chat if they have time and will help you if needed.

    Are there some old buildings in your hometown? Where and Describe it?

    Colonnaded tomb for the former president, Kemal Ataturk, with a marble hall, turrets and
    museum.
    Compare the differences between the constructions in your city with them in 20 years ago?
    Describe the building styles in detail?

    The traditional buildings are made of the red brick and always have curved eaves. Thousands of
    buildings look the same. But now, various buildings with different colors and styles have been
    going up in my hometown. This is very convenient.

    What are people's attitudes to old building today and that of our later generation? Should
    we protect them? Why?

    People, including our later generation, advocate that government should protect old buildings
    .Because old buildings represent the great artistic achievements of past generations.

    What role do you think the old and modern buildings play in the society?

    Oh, modern buildings are for us to live and work, while old buildings are for us to visit and
    research.

    Compare the differences between house and apartment?

    In Turkey, there is a big yard beside house, where we can plant some flowers and trees etc. But
    house is more expensive. Apartment is convenient and cheap but small.
