IELTS Speaking PART 1: Old Buildings

 

 

PART 1

 

OLD BUILDINGS

 

ANSWERS 

 

Have you ever seen some old buildings in the city?  

 

(Answer 1)   

 

Definitely! There are some buildings in this city that were built in the post-war (after the war) era. They’re actually beautiful because of their distinctive (distinguishing) architecture. And you know what, some of these become tourist attractions because again, they’re undeniably beautiful.   

 

(Answer 2)  

 

Yes, and it’s hard not to see them because they look so unique compared to the modern buildings erected (built) in the city. Old buildings are for me so special because there’s an interesting story behind their existence. Not only that, they witness the change that time has brought, and there’s no wonder (it’s not surprising) why they are preserved.   

 

Do you think we should preserve old buildings in cities?  

 

(Answer 1)   

 

Well, that really depends on the condition of those old buildings. There are those old buildings that become hazardous (dangerous), which I really believe must be demolished, and there are those buildings that are historic yet still safe. So, these types of buildings need to be preserved because they’re part of the history of a country or a city.   

 

(Answer 2)  

 

For me, those old buildings that tell a story about history or those with cultural value (importance) must be preserved. Those types of buildings play an important role in a country’s history. Other than that (apart from that), I think there’s no need for them to be preserved.   

STUCK at 6.5?!!

Do you prefer living in an old building or a modern building?  

 

(Answer 1)   

 

Well, I don’t mind the age of the building as long as it’s completely safe. That is, when there’s an earthquake, it won’t collapse very easily, or when it catches fire, there’s an easy way to get out of the building. I mean, that should be a priority.  

 

(Answer 2)  

 

I love living in a modern type of building because the architectural design is unique. Since it’s modern, it’s also equipped with modern facilities, which are convenient and so important in my opinion. Actually, I’m currently living in a condo unit that is modern, and I couldn’t be happier (to be very happy).   

 

Are there any old buildings you want to see in the future?   

 

(Answer 1) 

 

Yes! I want those old buildings with historical or cultural value to be preserved. The government should protect them as I believe they’re a national treasure, most especially those old buildings that came from the pre-war (before the war) or post-war (after the war) era. They’re just valuable.

 

(Answer 2)  

 

Well, I really want those old buildings with unique architecture to be preserved. I want the future generation to see those types of buildings, as they will surely get some inspiration, especially if those buildings have historical significance. So, I hope that the current government will spend time protecting those types of buildings.

Julius M.

Author, IELTS Speaking & Writing Coach, Band 9.0 Speaking, First Attempt


Hi students! My name is Julius, and I'm the author of IELTSDragon. I'm a non-native English speaker who scored a Band 9.0 on the IELTS Speaking test on my first attempt.


I hold a degree in Communication Arts from Cebu Normal University, one of the Philippines' prestigious state universities, and I'm a licensed teacher and TESOL-certified. Over the years, I've taught English in a range of settings, including Business English to Japanese professionals at Nikkei while working for a UK-based company.


I built this website so you don't have to waste time and money retaking the exam. Every sample answer here comes from my experience as a Band 9.0 achiever and IELTS Speaking and Writing coach, written to sound conversational and natural, because that natural delivery is what gave me a crisp Band 9.0.


Use this site as part of your prep, and let's get you to your target band score.
