I’ve been living here for almost two year now. It’s near my workplace and as I mentioned before, the house located near the Maroochy River, so I can enjoy peaceful time everyday before and after work, which makes me feels much happier living here compares to everywhere else.
Here’s a corrected version of your answer: “I’ve been living here for almost two years now. It’s near my workplace and as I mentioned before, the house is located near the Maroochy River, so I can enjoy peaceful times every day before and after work, which makes me feel much happier living here compared to anywhere else.”
Here are 3 mistakes you made:
1. You should use “two years” instead of “two year”. When talking about time, make sure you use plural form for anything more than one.
2. In the sentence “the house located near the Maroochy River”, you should use “is” after “the house” to make it a complete sentence.
3. In the last part of your answer, use “feel” instead of “feels” and “compared to” instead of “compares to”.
I’ve been living in this house for almost a year now.
It’s within walking distance of my son’s school ,which is very convenient,
and it’s also in close proximity to the tube station ,making my everyday commute easier
I can’t see any mistakes in your answer. You’ve answered the question well and used complex sentence structures appropriately. Keep up the good work!
I have been living in this apartment for almost a year now. I have lived in a lot of apartments where were in the center of the city and also very small as compared to this one. I like living here as it is spacious, quieter and relatively economical.
Your response is almost perfect, but there’s a minor mistake with your use of “where” that it needs correction. Here’s a corrected version:
“I have been living in this apartment for almost a year now. I have lived in a lot of apartments which were in the center of the city and also very small compared to this one. I like living here as it is spacious, quieter, and relatively economical.”
In terms of feedback, here are the areas to work on:
1. You used “where” instead of “which”; it should be “apartments which were”.
2. Also, there’s no need to use “as” before “compared to this one”, “as” is typically used in this sort of context to show a reason or cause.
Aside from these, you gave an excellent response!
I have been living here since 2023, so it’s been almost two years now. I moved from another city to pursue higher education, and I found this place much more convenient and lively.
Your answer is grammatically correct, which is great! However, please note that there might be a small mistake related to the timeline. If the current year is before 2023, it may be confusing for the examiner. If the year 2023 has not yet arrived, you could say “I plan to live here starting from 2023…” or use a past year for accuracy. Here is a corrected answer assuming the current year is 2021:
“I have been living here since 2019, so it’s been almost two years now. I moved from another city to pursue higher education, and I found this place much more convenient and lively.”
Keep up the great work, and keep practicing like this!
I’ve been living in my house since the building was completed last year. Before that, we stayed in rental homes after I got married. The place where I live now is in the capital city of the province. Although the land price is quite high, I’m much happier because the house is right next to my wife’s parents, so our children can be easily looked after and spend time with their grandparents while we’re at work.
Your answer is excellent and there are no mistakes. You’ve provided details and reasons that are both clear and specific, which are important for the IELTS exam. Keep up the good work!
yeah i lived in my lovely house fo 17 years since i was born,there is a lot of memory in my house place where i grew up,
Your answer is generally well-structured but I spotted a few mistakes. Here’s a corrected version: “Yeah, I’ve lived in my lovely house for 17 years, since I was born. There are a lot of memories in my house, it’s the place where I grew up.”
1. Use “I’ve lived” instead of “I lived” because you are still living there. In English, we often use the present perfect for actions or situations that started in the past and continue to the present.
2. It should be “for” not “fo”
3. It should be “memories” not “memory” because you are talking about multiple memories.
4. Put a comma after house when you are starting a new sentence. Also, it should be “it’s the place,” not “place.”
Keep practicing, you’re on the right track!
Yes definitely, I’ve been living there since my birth. I have a lot of memories at this place
Your answer is mostly correct, but there’s a small error. The correct version would be: “Yes, definitely. I’ve been living here since my birth. I have a lot of memories at this place.”
Please note that you should say “here” instead of “there” because you’re talking about the place where you currently live.
Keep practicing to improve!
I’ve been living in this house for the better of one year. I used to live with my parents but since i got married i moved to live here. It is a little bit noisy because there are a lot of constructions in the neighbourhood.
Your answer is almost perfect, but there’s a small mistake in the first sentence. Instead of “the better of one year”, it should be “the better part of one year” or “just over a year”. Also, remember to capitalize the ‘i’ when referring to yourself, as in “since I got married”.
Corrected version: “I’ve been living in this house for the better part of one year. I used to live with my parents but since I got married, I moved to live here. It’s a little bit noisy because there are a lot of constructions in the neighbourhood.”
Keep practicing! It’s a great response.
I’ve been living in my current home since I was born. When I went to university, I moved to another town and lived by myself for a few years. After graduating, I returned to my hometown and have been working remotely ever since. In the future I’d love to study abroad and experience living somewhere in Europe.
I can’t see any mistakes in your answer. You’ve provided a comprehensive reply to the question, including details about your past, present, and future living situations. Well done! This is an excellent response.
I’ve been living in my apartment for the better part of 7 years. At first, it felt a bit unfamiliar but over time I’ve really grown attached to the place and it’s become my sanctuary, a space where I feel completely at ease.
Your answer is great! It is expressive, detailed, and I don’t see any mistakes. You have clearly articulated your feelings about your home. Well done!
I’ve been living in this apartment for 10 years, since 2015. We moved to this apartment because my parents are flight attendant and this apartment is located in the centre of the city, near the international airport so it is very convenient for my parents job.
It’s a good answer, but there’s a small inconsistency in your time dating. Here’s a corrected version:
“I’ve been living in this apartment for about 6 years, since 2015. We moved to this apartment because my parents are flight attendants and this apartment is located in the centre of the city, near the international airport so it’s very convenient for my parents’ job.”
Remember to keep your timeline consistent and also correctly use plural forms when needed.
I’ve been living in my dormitory for almost four years. I used to live in my brother’s apartment on the outskirts, but to be honest, I found it a bit noisy, noisy, and too far from my university. Now I’m much happier living in the city center, where everything is close and convenient, especially my university.
Your answer is almost perfect, but there’s a small repetition error. Here is a corrected version:
“I’ve been living in my dormitory for almost four years now. I used to live in my brother’s apartment on the outskirts, but to be honest, I found it a bit noisy and too far from my university. Now I’m much happier living in the city center, where everything is close and convenient, especially my university.”
Mistake:
1. Avoid repeating words unnecessarily. You had mentioned ‘noisy’ twice.
Great job, and keep practicing!
I’ve been living in my house for almost two years now. I used to live in the city center of Ankara, but to be honest, I found it a bit too noisy and quite expensive.
I can’t see any mistakes in your answer. It’s to the point and the language use is perfectly fine. Keep up the good work!
I’ve only been living in our current apartment for a little over a month. We used to live in a one-bedroom apartment in a high-rise building where we had a view of the fireworks during NFL home games last year. We had to give it up because we needed a two-bedroom unit since our son wanted a room of his own. I found our current residence more apt for our needs, as an added bonus it’s cheaper than our old one.
Your answer is great, there is no need for any correction! You have expressed your thoughts and ideas very well. Keep up the good work!
I’ve been living in the apartment for the better part of 5 years. I used to live in the outskirts of the city, but to be honest i found it has less opportunity. I’m much happier living in the outskirts where it has better options.
Here’s a revised version of your response:
“I’ve been living in this apartment for the better part of 5 years. I used to live on the outskirts of the city, but to be honest, I found it had fewer opportunities. I’m much happier living in the city where there are better options.”
Your original response was very good but had a small issue with the use of “has” in the phrase “i found it has less opportunity.” It would be better to say, “I found it had fewer opportunities.” Also, make sure to keep your locations consistent. You ended saying you preferred living in the outskirts again, while it sounded like you meant to say the city itself had better options.
I’ve been living in this city since 2021, which is nearly 5 years now. I used to live next to Presidential palace but I found it too strict to go out and come back at night. Now I’m much happier living in outskirt of the Juba city, where it’s easy to access at midnight even.
Your response is almost fine, but there’s a bit of a time issue. You mentioned that you have been living in the city since 2021 and that it’s nearly been 5 years, which isn’t accurate as of now. Here’s the corrected version:
“I’ve been living in this city since 2016, which is nearly 5 years now. I used to live next to the Presidential palace, but I found it too strict to go out and come back at night. Now, I’m much happier living on the outskirts of Juba city, where it’s easy to access even at midnight.”
Remember, give the accurate information about the number of years and use “on the outskirts” instead of “in outskirt”. Keep up the good work!
Not yet, I have been living in my home since I bought it around 1 year ago. I used to live with my parents-in-law; however, I felt a little bit uneasy because it was not my own home. Since I reside in my own home, I am much happier due to I can do everything I want.
Here’s a slightly corrected version of your answer:
“No, I haven’t. I’ve been living in my home since I bought it around 1 year ago. I used to live with my parents-in-law; however, I felt a little bit uneasy because it wasn’t my own home. Ever since I’ve moved into my own home, I’m much happier because I can do everything I want.”
Let’s go over a few minor errors in your original response:
1. It’s better to start your answer with “No” instead of “Not yet” as the question was about your past living situation, not future plans.
2. You should say “haven’t” instead of “have not yet” to be grammatically correct.
3. Replace “Since I reside” with “Ever since I’ve moved”. It fits the context more accurately.
Otherwise, you did well in explaining your situation and feelings about your home. Keep practicing!
I’ve been living in my house for the better part of 10 years. I used to live in the village but to be honest there isn’t so much value of life. I much happier living in the bogura city where it is a little bit expensive but have many opportunities.
Your response is mostly correct, but there are a few areas where you can improve. Here’s a corrected version of your answer:
“I’ve been living in my house for the better part of 10 years. I used to live in the village, but to be honest, there isn’t as much quality of life there. I’m much happier living in Bogura city. It’s a little bit more expensive, but it has many more opportunities.”
– Make sure to include “as much” before “quality of life.”
– Use “I’m” instead of “I” when expressing your happiness about living in Bogura city.
– Remember to use “more” before “expensive” and “opportunities” to correctly show the increase in both cost and opportunities.
Keep it up! Practice makes perfect.
I’ve been living with my parents since my birth. We used to move in new big city to continue my engineening studies and to have a many job opportunities. To be honest, my birthplace and my parents home are convenient because what I need are within walking distance.
Thanks for your answer! I’ve made a few adjustments to make your response clearer. Here it is:
“I’ve been living with my parents since I was born. We moved to a big city so that I could pursue my engineering studies and have many job opportunities. To be honest, my birthplace and my parents’ home are very convenient because everything I need is within walking distance.”
Now let’s break down your mistakes:
1. You said “move in new big city”, but it would be more correct to say “moved to a big city”. We use “move to” when talking about relocating to a new place in general.
2. In the phrase “to have a many job opportunities”, the “a” before “many” is not necessary. Just say “have many job opportunities”.
3. The whole part “what I need are within walking distance” could be rephrased to “everything I need is within walking distance”. This makes the sentence sound more natural.
Keep practicing! You’re doing well!
I’ve been living in my home since childhood. I’ve never been away from my home. I love to live with my parents and I take care of them. I am not even thinking of living somewhere else as my home is in the center of the city and it’s quite convenient because everything I need is in just the walking distance.
Your answer is very good and it’s clear what your main points are. I can’t see any mistakes in your answer. You used present perfect continuous tense correctly which is impressive. Keep up the good work!
I have been living in my apartment for the better part of two years. I used to live in my university dormitory, but when I got my job, I moved here. I’m much happier living on the outskirts of the city where it is quieter. It is very convenient because everything I need is within walking distance.
I can’t see any mistakes in your answer. You spoke naturally and fluently, using a good range of vocabulary and grammar to express your ideas. Good job and keep it up!
I have been living in my apartment for the better part of two years. I used to live in my University dormitory, but when I got my job, I moved there. I’m much happier living on the outskirts of the city where it’s quieter.
Your answer is well-structured and clear. However, there’s a small error in your response. Instead of saying “I moved there”, you could say “I moved here”.
Here’s the corrected answer: “I have been living in my apartment for the better part of two years. I used to live in my University dormitory, but when I got my job, I moved here. I’m much happier living on the outskirts of the city where it’s quieter.”
Keep practicing!
I’ve been living in this unit since early 2021. I moved here after decades of being a tenant. I chose this place for it’s strategic and convenient location. It’s only about a 20-minute drive from my workplace and a stone-throw away from the supermarket, restaurants, schools, and my church.
Your response is almost perfect. There is just one small mistake:
“I’ve been living in this unit since early 2021. I moved here after decades of being a tenant. I chose this place for its strategic and convenient location. It’s only about a 20-minute drive from my workplace and a stone’s throw away from the supermarket, restaurants, schools, and my church.”
Remember, “it’s” is a contraction for “it is” or “it has”, while “its” is a possessive pronoun. In this case, you want to indicate that the location belongs to the place, so you should use “its”. Keep practicing!
i have been living here since i was born and i really like my house. I am verry happy to live in a quiet part of the city and be able to get to the centre in 10 minutes.
Your response is overall good, but there are a few spelling and punctuation errors. Here’s the corrected version:
“I’ve been living here since I was born and I really like my house. I’m very happy to live in a quiet part of the city and be able to get to the centre in 10 minutes.”
1. Remember to use an apostrophe for contractions – “I’ve”, not “i have”.
2. Use a capital “I” when referring to yourself.
3. Very is spelled with one ‘r’, not two.
I’ve been living in my home since I borned. Before my parents decide to move thier home, they used to live in the city centre. They said that they had founded a bit noisy and chaotic. To be honest, I much prefer to live in the rural area where it’s peaceful.
Your response is quite good but there are a few minor errors. Here’s a corrected version: “I’ve been living in my home since I was born. Before my parents decided to move their home, they used to live in the city centre. They said that they found it a bit noisy and chaotic. To be honest, I much prefer living in the rural area where it’s peaceful.”
1. “I’ve been living in my home since I borned.” The correct phrase would be “since I was born.”
2. “Before my parents decide to move thier home,” The correct phrase would be “Before my parents decided to move their home,”
3. “They said that they had founded a bit noisy and chaotic.” The correct phrase is “They said that they found it a bit noisy and chaotic.”
Keep practicing, you’re doing well!
Yes I’ve been living in this house since i was born, i have some memories with this house, all of my childhood and teenage memories. My house is so precious for me because not just myself I’ve seen my younger brother growing up in this house.
Your answer is great, with just a minor error. Here’s the corrected version: “Yes, I’ve been living in this house since I was born. I have many memories with this house, all of my childhood and teenage memories. My house is so precious to me because not just myself, but also I’ve seen my younger brother growing up in this house.”
1. Always remember to start a new sentence with a capital letter.
2. Your use of “some” suggests that you don’t have many memories with the house. Use “many” to convey that you have a lot of memories.
3. Use “to” instead of “for” with the word “precious” to denote possession correctly.
Keep it up!
I have been living in my apartment for almost 2 years. Before that, I used to live with my family. My wofe and I moved to the apartment after we got married.
Your answer is almost perfect, but there’s just a minor spelling mistake that needs correction. Your statement should read: “I have been living in my apartment for almost 2 years. Before that, I used to live with my family. My wife and I moved to the apartment after we got married.”
Remember, it’s important to double-check your spelling to ensure clarity in communication. Keep up the good practice!
I’ve been living in this house almost 6 months since I got my job. I used to live in Los Angeles in a big house with my classmates, but to be honest, I found it loud and messy. I’m much happier living alone on the east side where it’s quieter.
Your answer is almost perfect! It’s concise, clear, and well-structured. However, there’s a small mistake related to prepositions. Here’s the corrected version:
“I’ve been living in this house for almost 6 months since I got my job. I used to live in Los Angeles in a big house with my classmates, but to be honest, I found it loud and messy. I’m much happier living alone on the east side where it’s quieter.”
You should use ‘for’ when stating a length of time. Keep practicing and best of luck with your studies!
I have been living in school’s dormitory for the better parts of two year.I used to live with my parents bu after i was accepted to boarding school,i found it a bit difficult.Now,i ‘m much disciplened because there we are under the supervision of teachers.
Your answer is quite good, but there are a few mistakes I’d like to point out. Here’s a corrected version:
“I’ve been living in my school’s dormitory for the better part of two years. I used to live with my parents, but after I was accepted to a boarding school, I found it a bit difficult. Now, I’m much more disciplined because there we are under the supervision of teachers.”
1. Watch your spelling of certain words like “disciplened” should be “disciplined”.
2. Pay attention to your punctuation – “parents bu after” should be “parents, but after”.
3. Also, don’t forget the possessive ‘my’ when referring to your school, as in “my school’s dormitory”.
Keep practicing! You’re doing well.
I have been living in this house for three months. I used to live alone in a city by renting a room in a shared house. I found out the cost of living was quite expensive. I am much happier living in a tranquil area close to my family.
I don’t see any mistakes in your answer; it’s clear and coherent. You’ve correctly used different grammatical structures and appropriate vocabulary. Well done! Keep practicing as you’re doing.
thank you
It seems there’s been a misunderstanding. I believe you were trying to answer the question, “Have you lived in this home for a long time?”, but you responded with “thank you”. That doesn’t quite address the question. Do you mind clarifying your response? You could say something like, “Yes, I have lived in this home for a long time.” if you want to keep it simple.
I’ve been living in my townhouse since 2016. I move there almost a decade ago. I used to live in a big city before, but found it quite busy and noisy. I love the area where I live now, as it’s more quiet.
Your answer is basically sound, but there is a little confusion with the timing. If you moved in 2016, then it hasn’t been almost a decade. Here’s a corrected version:
“I’ve been living in my townhouse since 2016. I moved there about five years ago. I used to live in a big city before, but I found it too busy and noisy. I love the area where I live now, as it’s much quieter.”
Remember to use ‘moved’ instead of ‘move’, and ‘much quieter’ sounds more natural in this context than ‘more quiet’. Keep practicing, and you’ll continue to improve!
I have been living in our bungalow house for 3 years since moving out from my family’s house due to my wedding. I used to live alone in a tiny bed space room with one of my co workers, to be honest I found it depressing and lonely at the same time. Now, I’m much happier as I am living with a lot of space and with my husband.
Your answer is very good and on-topic. However, there are a couple of minor improvements you could make for better clarity. Here’s an improved version:
“I’ve been living in our bungalow for 3 years now, ever since I moved out of my family’s house when I got married. I used to live alone in a tiny bedsit with one of my coworkers, and to be honest, I found it quite depressing and lonely. Now, I’m much happier because I’m living in a place with a lot more space, and I’m with my husband.”
Note these corrections:
1. “Bungalow house” to “bungalow” – The term ‘bungalow’ alone is already descriptive of the type of house.
2. “Bed space room” to “bedsit” – ‘Bedsit’ is a more common term to refer to a one-room accommodation where you sleep and live.
3. “As I am living” to “because I’m living” – ‘Because’ is a more suitable conjunction here as it clearly establishes cause and effect, making your statement clearer. Keep practicing your speaking skills!
I have been living in my house since 2003. I used to lived in my parent’s house but I decided to move because of to be more indipendent. Now I’m much happier living alone in line with my own rythms and habits.
Thanks for your response. Here’s a corrected version of your answer:
“I have been living in my house since 2003. I used to live in my parents’ house, but I decided to move to become more independent. Now, I’m much happier living alone, in line with my own rhythms and habits.”
Here’s what you need to improve:
1. “I used to live” instead of “I used to lived”.
2. “to become more independent” instead of “because of to be more independent”.
3. Your spelling for “independent” and “rhythms” was incorrect.
Keep practicing and you’ll see progress!
One thing that I’d like to change in my home is the size of my bedroom. I wish my bedroom was larger so that I can fit in an extra wardrobe. I really like the layout of it and the size of the window but I just wish I could move the wall a few inches to make it bigger.
It seems like there was a mix-up with the context. Your answer is more relevant to a question about changes you’d like to make to your home, rather than addressing how long you’ve lived in your home.
Here’s a corrected version related to the actual question: “I’ve lived in my home for quite a while now. Even though there are aspects I’d like to change such as my bedroom’s size, I’ve really grown to love it. I wish it were a tad larger, but overall, I quite like the layout and the window size.”
Remember, you need to directly answer the question first, then provide the details or explanations.
We used to live in central London for more than 20 years but when the kids came along it became complicated for us to keep up with the lifestyle that we always had. And so, we decided to pack up and leave the big city for a much smaller one! Nowadays, we are much happier than we’ve ever been. I always say that we still live in a city but with less hustle and bustle of a big one!
Your answer is quite excellent! There don’t appear to be any errors in your answer. Your explanations were clear and your sentences were structured well. Nice job!
No, I haven’t. I only have been living in my current apartment for the better part of 5 years.
Throughout my live I have lived in 3 different apartment. The longest place I have live in would be the second apartment and I have live there for over 15 years.
It’s great you’re giving these detailed responses! However, there are a few errors I spotted. Here’s a corrected version:
“No, I haven’t. I’ve only been living in my current apartment for the better part of 5 years. Throughout my life, I’ve lived in 3 different apartments. The place I lived in the longest would be the second apartment, and I lived there for over 15 years.”
Mistake 1: Use “I’ve” instead of “I have” when you’re speaking. It sounds more natural.
Mistake 2: You accidentally wrote “live” instead of “life”. It happens!
Mistake 3: In English, we usually say we “lived” somewhere, rather than “have live”.
Keep practicing! You’re doing great.
I have been living in this cozy apartment since I switched my job. I used to live on the outskirts of the city where it is more quieter. However, as the time to travel takes much of my day and unavailabilty of better school pushed me to shift my house.
Your answer is pretty good, but there are just a couple of minor mistakes to correct. Here is a revised version of your response: “I have been living in this cozy apartment since I switched jobs. I used to live on the outskirts of the city, which was quieter. However, the long commute and the lack of good schools forced me to move.”
1. Instead of saying “I switched my job”, the correct term is “I switched jobs”.
2. It should be “which was quieter” instead of “where it is more quieter”. This is because the word ‘more’ is not necessary when using ‘quieter’
3. “Unavailability” is the correct spelling, instead of “unavailabilty”
4. It would be better to say “forced me to move” instead of “pushed me to shift my house”.
But overall, great job! You answered the question fully and your ideas were coherent. Keep practicing!
Yes, I’ve been living in my flat for the better part of 10 years.But, I was born and raised in Region V, anadministrative region in Philippines, grouped under the luzon island group. I honestly enjoy staying in my old town because it’s more quiet and calm environment. But, I have to moved in my current place for better opportunity.
Your reply is pretty good! However, there are a few small errors. Here’s how I’d correct them:
“Yes, I’ve been living in my flat for the better part of 10 years. But, I was born and raised in Region V, an administrative region in the Philippines, grouped under the Luzon island group. I honestly enjoyed staying in my old town because it was quieter and much calmer. But, I had to move to my current place for better opportunities.”
Just a few things to note:
1. “the Philippines” should be with a lowercase ‘t’
2. When talking about events in the past, make sure to use the past tense, such as ‘enjoyed’ and ‘was’.
3. It should be ‘I had to move’, not ‘moved’.
Keep practicing!
I have been living in my apartment since last 10 years. I used to live in old fashioned river side apartment but to be honest it’s quite expensive and loud.
I am much happier living in outskirts of the city where environment is fresh and quite.
Thank you for your answer. It’s really well-structured, but there are a few minor errors that need to be corrected.
Your corrected sentence would be, “I have been living in my apartment for the last 10 years. I used to live in an old-fashioned riverside apartment, but to be honest, it was quite expensive and loud. I am much happier living on the outskirts of the city where the environment is fresh and quiet.”
Here are some mistakes you made and how to correct them:
1. When talking about the length of time, we use “for” not “since”. So it’s “for the last 10 years”, not “since last 10 years”.
2. When describing the old-fashioned riverside apartment, use an “an” before it. So it’s “an old-fashioned riverside apartment” not “old fashioned river side apartment”.
3. Use the past tense “was” to talk about the apartment’s characteristics since this is in the past: “it was quite expensive and loud”.
4. “Quite” is often used to mean “very”, but your intention might have been to use “quiet” when describing your current living environment. Quiet means peaceful or without noise.
Keep up the good work!
Well, I have been living in this apartment for almost 13 months. I used to live with my family. Me and my wife moved to the apartment after we have got married.
The student’s answer: “Well, I have been living in this apartment for almost 13 months. I used to live with my family. Me and my wife moved to the apartment after we have got married.”.
Corrected version: “Well, I’ve been living in this apartment for almost 13 months. I used to live with my family. My wife and I moved to the apartment after we got married.”
Here are a couple of things to note:
1. In English, the order of pronouns matters. So instead of saying “Me and my wife,” it’s more correct to say “My wife and I.”
2. Use the past simple tense for completed actions in the past. So it should be “we got married” instead of “we have got married”.
Great job and keep practicing!
I have been living in this house for two years. I used to live in a construction camp, but I moved here because of my position change. I found it to be loud and stressful because of the traffic and the car horns. I was feeling more comfortable in the campsite.
Your answer is well-structured and mostly correct! I would just recommend a slight modification to make it smoother and more accurate. Here’s the corrected version:
“I’ve been living in this house for two years. Before that, I used to live in a construction camp, but I moved here when my position changed. I found the campsite to be more comfortable because the traffic and car horns at my new place can be loud and stressful.”
Keep in mind the following points:
1. Use “when” instead of “because of” for indicating a time-related change.
2. Make sure the reference is clear when you’re using pronouns like “it”. In this case, “it” was a little ambiguous.
3. The last part of your sentence should mirror the structure of the part before it, for coherence.
Hope this helps. Keep practising!
No, I recently shifted here from Canada and it only has been five months since. Before moving here I used to live in a two bedroom apartment which I used to share with my friends. We were all working professional back then.
Your response is quite good, but there are a few corrections that can be improved upon. Here is a revised version:
“No, I recently moved here from Canada and it’s only been five months. Before moving here, I lived in a two-bedroom apartment that I shared with my friends. We were all working professionals back then.”
Mistakes:
1. Use “moved” instead of “shifted” to convey the change of location.
2. After “it’s only”, add “been” to maintain proper verb tense continuity.
3. “working professional” should be plural “working professionals” as you’re referring to multiple people.
Keep practicing and you’ll improve greatly. Good luck!
I have been living my apartment for almost a year since my family arrived in this town. I used to live alone in a tiny room with another student, to be honest I found it lonely and depressing.Now I am much happier living with my wife and children, as we can spend lots of quality time together.
The student’s response is great but there’s a small grammatical error. The corrected version would be:
“I have been living in my apartment for almost a year since my family arrived in this town. I used to live alone in a tiny room with another student, and to be honest, I found it lonely and depressing. Now, I am much happier living with my wife and children, as we can spend lots of quality time together.”
Errors:
1. Correct use of preposition: In your sentence, you need to use ‘in’ instead of ‘my’. So, it should be “living in my apartment”.
Keep practicing, you’re doing well!
I have been living in this house for two years. We used to live in bigger house with wide compound.We move here two years ago. So,it has been two years.
Your answer is pretty good, but there are a few mistakes. Here’s the corrected version:
“I’ve been living in this house for two years. We used to live in a bigger house with a wide compound. We moved here two years ago. So, it’s been two years.”
1. When talking about a specific thing, you need to use ‘a’. So, it’s ‘a bigger house’ and ‘a wide compound.’
2. Use the past simple tense when you talk about a completed action in the past. So, instead of saying ‘we move here’, you should say ‘we moved here’.
3. Remember to put a space after a comma. It’s a small thing, but it makes your writing look much cleaner.
Keep practicing! You’re doing great!
I’ve been living in my apartment for the better part of ten years. I used to live on the outskirts of the city, but to be honest, I found it a little boring. I’m much happier living on the centre of the city where it is more noisy and active.
Your answer is well-crafted and no errors are present. It does a good job of capturing your basic perspective on the location of your current and previous residence. Given this is a speaking response, it’s conversational tone is entirely appropriate for the IELTS speaking test. Great job! Keep practicing.
Yes, indeed. I’ve been living here for the last five years. Prior to that I used to live in the center, but after living there for a few years we were fed up with certain things like noise and lack of room, so we decided to move in the outskirts of the city. We are much happier here, there is plenty of space and the pollution is lower.
I can’t see any mistakes in your answer. You responded to the question thoroughly and your use of vocabulary is excellent. Great job!
I’ve lived in this my house with my husband and children for more than six years. Initially I was living in the city center before I got married and relocated to suburb.Ths cost of living in the city is high and it is far from my work place so I had to move away from the bustling and noise of city. I love where I am living because the place is quieter, more peaceful and cost of living affordable.Another advantage is that it is very close to my work place.
Your answer is almost perfect but there are just a few errors. Here’s how you could improve it:
“I’ve lived in this house with my husband and children for more than six years. Initially, I was living in the city center before I got married and relocated to the suburbs. The cost of living in the city was high and it was far from my workplace, so I had to move away from the bustle and noise of the city. I love where I am living now because it’s quieter, peaceful, and the cost of living is affordable. Another advantage is that it is very close to my workplace.”
1. “In this my house” should be “in this house”.
2. It’s better to say “relocated to the suburbs” instead of “relocated to suburb”.
3. The phrase should be “bustle and noise of the city” instead of “bustling and noise of city”.
4. Depending on the word order, the choice of the tense may vary, so it’s better to say “The cost of living in the city was high”, as you are describing the past.
I haven’t been living here for along time .It’s been about a year. I used to live in Cairo ,Egypt ,but now I live Willington . my husband some times feels bored here, but my children are attending school and setting in .I’m much happier here
Here’s a corrected version of your response:
“I haven’t been living here for a long time. It’s been about a year. I used to live in Cairo, Egypt, but now I live in Wellington. My husband sometimes feels bored here, but my children are attending school and settling in. I’m much happier here.”
Here are some mistakes I’ve noticed:
1. You wrote “along time”. It should be two words, “a long”.
2. You wrote “Willington”. If you meant the capital of New Zealand, it should be “Wellington”.
3. “Setting in” is not the correct phrase. The proper term is “settling in”.
Keep practicing, and continue to pay careful attention to these details!
I have been living in this apartment not long enough, just a few months.I used to live in a house, big enough for whole my family before we immigrate to another country
Thanks for your response. Let’s review it together and make some corrections:
“I haven’t been living in this apartment for very long, just a few months. I used to live in a big enough house for my whole family before we immigrated to another country”.
Here’s what we corrected:
1. Instead of ‘not long enough’, use ‘not for very long’ or ‘for a short time’ when referring to a short duration. ‘Not long enough’ implies that there should have been more time.
2. Rearranged the sentence ‘big enough for whole my family’. It should be ‘big enough for my whole family’.
3. Corrected ‘immigrate’ (verb) to ‘immigrated’ (past participle) to match the past tense context of the sentence.
Keep practicing!
I’ve been living in my apartment for the better part of 2 years. Its located around the Central area of my city. Although it gets busy sometimes , i find the nearness to grocery shops, Malls easy and convenient for me.
Thank you for your response. You’ve done a good job, but there’s a minor improvement to be made. Here’s the corrected version:
“I’ve been living in my apartment for the better part of 2 years. It’s located around the Central area of my city. Although it gets busy sometimes, I find the nearness to grocery shops and malls easy and convenient for me.”
1. The contraction for “it is” is “it’s”, not “its”. “Its” is a possessive form indicating that something belongs to “it”.
2. Always remember to use a capital “I” when referring to yourself.
Great job and keep practicing!
Oh yes I have. My family and I moved in back in 2014 so its been more than 10 years since we moved in. However, i have lived in the area Namugongo for much longer. Originally, before moving into our current home, we lived in an apartment complex still in Namugongo. Here, my two sisters and I shared a bedroom. It was both tragic and fun at the same time as we fought and played together. Generally, Namugongo as a place surely holds a special place in my heart.
Your answer is quite good, but there is a minor mistakes relating to time. Here’s the corrected version:
“Oh yes, I have. My family and I moved in back in 2014, so it’s been around 6 or 7 years since we moved in. However, I have lived in the area Namugongo for much longer. Originally, before moving into our current home, we lived in an apartment complex still in Namugongo. Here, my two sisters and I shared a bedroom. It was both tragic and fun at the same time as we fought and played together. Generally, Namugongo surely holds a special place in my heart.”
Correction:
In terms of years, there seems to be a mistake. If you moved into your house in 2014, there hasn’t been more than 10 years. It should be around 6 or 7 years based on the current year.
Keep up the hard work!
It is 2025, so it has been more than 10years
The grammar in your answer needs a little tweaking. A corrected version might be:
“Yes, as of 2025, I have been living in this home for more than 10 years now.”
This not only corrects the grammatical errors, but also makes the answer sound more conversational, which is essential during the IELTS speaking exam.
Remember, when responding to such questions, try to give a bit more information or a related short story if possible. This strategy enables you to demonstrate better use of English, which can help you to score higher.
I’ve been living in this house since i was in school. I found this place much relaxing and peaceful than other areas of the city. I’m much happier living in the outskirt of the city as it’s much quieter.
Your answer is fairly good, but there are just a couple of minor errors to correct. Here is your improved answer:
“I’ve been living in this house since I was in school. I find this place much more relaxing and peaceful than other areas of the city. I’m much happier living on the outskirts of the city as it’s much quieter.”
Mistake corrections:
1. Use an uppercase ‘I’ instead of ‘i’.
2. Use “more” before “relaxing” to make it more comparative.
3. Use “on the outskirts” instead of “in the outskirt” which is grammatically correct.
Keep up the good work!
I’ve been living in my apartment for the better part of ten years. actually since i got married. I used to live in the city center alone, but, to be honest, I found it a bit loud and expensive. I’m much happier living on the outskirts where it is quieter, and, we have built our house on love.
Your answer is quite clear and well-structured. There is just one small grammatical error. Here’s the corrected version:
“I’ve been living in my apartment for the better part of ten years, actually since I got married. I used to live alone in the city center, but, to be honest, I found it a bit loud and expensive. I’m much happier now living on the outskirts where it’s quieter, and we have built our house with love.”
Notice that in the last sentence, it would be more appropriate to use “with” instead of “on” when you talk about building a house with love. Keep up the good work!
I used to live in the main city of my county, but last year , I sold my house and came back live with my parents in rural area.I found it living in the city it’s too hard to consentrate on my english study,so I made a descion to sold my house.Living in rural area without hustle and bustle of city life,and I got better change to company with my parents.
Thanks for your answer! There are a few small mistakes here that we can correct to improve your response:
“I used to live in the main city of my county, but last year, I sold my house and moved back in with my parents in a rural area. I found that living in the city made it too hard to concentrate on my English studies, so I made the decision to sell my house. Living in a rural area away from the hustle and bustle of city life gave me a better chance to spend time with my parents.”
I would recommend these changes:
1. Use “moved back in” rather than “came back live”.
2. “I found that” rather than “I found it”.
3. “Gave me a better chance to spend time with” rather than “better change to company with”.
Keep practicing! You’re doing great, just be mindful of proper grammar and choice of words.
I have been living in this village for four or five months. The main reason behind my staying in the village is that I have been doing fieldwork for my MPhil dissertation. And alongside, I have also been teaching in school. The fundamental difference between living in a village and a city is that people are friendlier and helpful in the village, whereas people are consumed and controlled by materialism. Perhaps, I may settle down here if all the situation fovors me.
Here’s a corrected version of your answer: “I’ve been living in this village for about four or five months. The main reason I decided to stay in the village is because I’ve been doing fieldwork for my MPhil dissertation. Alongside that, I’ve also been teaching at a local school. The main difference between living in a village and a city, I’ve found, is that people in the village are friendlier and more helpful, while city folks seem more consumed and controlled by materialism. If the situation here continues to be as favorable as it has been, perhaps I might settle down here.”
First, please note the correct usage of the preposition “at” in the phrase “teaching at a local school”. Second, your usage of the word “whereas” is good, but the sentence was a bit too formal given these are speaking responses. Lastly, you had a minor spelling error that’s been corrected in the above version, it’s “favors” not “fovors”. Great job, overall! Keep practicing.
No, previously I used to live in a hostel when I was a student. After the completion of study, I shifted here as i got a job in nearby place. It’s been four years now, I am living in this place. And I find this place more peaceful and satisfaction in compare to hostel where i used to live before.
Thanks for providing your answer. It’s quite good, but there are a few grammatical errors. Here’s a corrected version for you:
“No, I used to live in a hostel when I was a student. After completing my studies, I moved here because I got a job nearby. I’ve been living in this place for four years now. I find it more peaceful and satisfying compared to the hostel I lived in before.”
1. “After the completion of study” should be “After completing my studies”.
2. “I shifted here” would be better said as “I moved here”.
3. “Satisfaction” is used incorrectly. You should use “satisfying” in this context.
Keep going with your studies! You’re making great progress!
I have been living in my apartment since I was born for approximately twenty years. I used to live in a city center, but to be honest I found it a bit noisy and crowded. Despite of that I love living in Istanbul because of gorgeous sea view.
Your response is pretty good but contains a minor error. Here is the corrected version: “I have been living in my apartment since I was born, which is approximately twenty years now. I used to live in a city center, but to be honest, I found it a bit noisy and crowded. Despite that, I love living in Istanbul because of the gorgeous sea view.”
1. When you want to mention the length of time, you should say, “which is approximately” instead of “for approximately”.
2. Remove the word “of” after “Despite”. The correct way to use it is “Despite that” or “In spite of that.”
3. In your final sentence, add the word “the” before “gorgeous sea view”. This makes your sentence definite and more accurate.
Keep up the good work!
I have been living in my house since my birth because it’s our forefathers house.But to be honest,I want to move out from here . Because it’s too much noisy.I much prefer live in the outskirts of the city.
Thanks for your response. Here’s a corrected version of your response:
“I’ve been living in my house since I was born because it’s our forefathers’ house. But to be honest, I want to move out. It’s just too noisy. I would much prefer to live on the outskirts of the city.”
Here are the errors I spotted:
1. “forefathers house” should be “forefathers’ house” to show possession.
2. There’s a missing space after the commas in “house.But” and “here . Because.”
3. “I much prefer live” should be “I would much prefer to live.”
These corrections should help make your answer clearer. Keep practicing!
Yes, I’ve lived in this home for ten years now and am not planning to shift any time soon. This home has always been good. It’s very spacious and on a raised ground free from flash floods.
Your answer is great, there are no mistakes in it. Your use of present perfect tense is accurate (“I’ve lived in this home for ten years now”), and your additional details about the benefits of the home add depth to your answer. Very well done!
I’ve been living in my apartment for the better part of ten years. I used to live in the outskirts of the city, but to be honest i found it very far from facilities, boring and a bit isolated.
I’m much active living in city despite it’s expensive and noisy.
Thank your for your response. Here’s a corrected version of your answer:
“I’ve been living in my apartment for the better part of ten years. I used to live on the outskirts of the city, but to be honest, I found it very far from facilities, boring, and a bit isolated. I’m much more active living in the city, despite it being expensive and noisy.”
Mistakes:
1. Make sure to use ‘on’ instead of ‘in’ when talking about the outskirts of a city.
2. Don’t forget to put a comma after ‘honest’ as this sentence includes two independent clauses.
3. Use the correct form ‘it being’ after ‘despite’.
I have been living in my apartment for about two years since I got married.
I used to live alone, in a neighbourhood close to my current home. However, I found that place a little old and expensive. Definitively, I am much happier living with my family.
Your answer is quite good. However, there is a small error in the last sentence. Here is the corrected version:
“I have been living in my apartment for about two years since I got married. I used to live alone, in a neighborhood close to my current home. However, I found that place a little old and expensive. Definitely, I am much happier living with my family.”
You made a typo, writing “definitively” instead of “definitely”. Remember, “definitively” generally refers to an action or decision made with authority and is final. “Definitely”, on the other hand, is used to state something without any doubt. So, in your context, “definitely” is the correct word. Keep practicing!
I’ve been leaving in my apartment for two years. I used to live in a big city, I found it a bit too noisy and expensive. Now I prefer to live in a small town or village to be closer to nature.
Your response to the question is understandable and well-structured, but there’s just a minor error you need to correct. Here’s the corrected version : “I’ve been living in my apartment for two years. I used to live in a big city, but I found it a bit too noisy and expensive. Now, I prefer to live in a small town or village to be closer to nature.”
Mistake: The term “leaving” should be replaced with “living”.
Keep practicing and you will improve. Good luck with your learning!
I used to live in a two bedroom house before my family grew bigger now my family is big i am living in a four bedroom house which accommodate us better. The house is spacious with a large sitting room and with a modern kitchen. The back yard is big enough for entertainment and occasional celebrations.
Thank you for your answer. It’s almost perfect. Here is the corrected version:
“I used to live in a two-bedroom house before my family grew bigger. Now that my family is big, I am living in a four-bedroom house which accommodates us better. The house is spacious with a large sitting room and a modern kitchen. The backyard is big enough for entertainment and occasional celebrations.”
1) Remember to use punctuation like commas and periods to separate your sentences.
2) “big enough” is more appropriate than “big” when talking about the size of the backyard. It gives the impression that the backyard is not only large, but also adequate for certain purposes.
3) The verb ‘accommodate’ is used wrongly. Remember to add ‘s’ to the verb when it follows singular subjects. Keep practicing!
This year July marked my 4th year in my current home, to be honest am much happier here,it is more quieter,there’s bigger space for me and my family and it is private property
Here is a corrected version of your answer: “This past July marked my 4th year in my current home. To be honest, I’m much happier here. It’s quieter, there’s more space for me and my family, and it’s private property.”
Here are the main points to pay attention to:
1. Use “past” when referring to a period of time that has just gone by, for example ‘this past July’.
2. Use the correct form of the verb “be”. You should have said “I’m” instead of “am”.
3. Be careful with comparative adjectives, use “more” before “quiet” or change the adjective to “quieter”.
4. Don’t forget to use the correct punctuation. You missed out on some commas in your answer.
Hope this helps and keep practicing!
Ive’ been living in my house for the better part of two and half years. I used to live in London, but to be honest I found it a bit loud and very expensive. I am much happier living in outskirts of the city where is quieter and very close to de sea.
Thank you for your response!
Here’s a corrected version of your answer: “I’ve been living in my house for the better part of two and a half years. I used to live in London, but to be honest, I found it a bit loud and very expensive. I am much happier living on the outskirts of the city where it’s quieter and very close to the sea.”
To help you improve, please pay attention to the following errors:
1. You wrote “Ive'” instead of “I’ve”. It’s essential to place the apostrophe correctly in contractions.
2. Instead of ‘living in outskirts’, it’s more appropriate to say ‘living on the outskirts’.
3. Instead of ‘where is quieter’, the correct structure is ‘where it’s quieter’.
4. Be mindful to correctly spell ‘the’ instead of ‘de’.
Keep practicing and I’m sure you’ll get even better!
I have been living in this apartment for better part of 3 years , I used to live near downtown in a small congested neighborhood , where I found it quite unsafe environment to live for a long term , so I decided to move at the outskirts of city since it’s much more affordable and peaceful to live in , I am currently very happy and over the moon to live at my beautiful cosy apartment.
Your answer is generally well-structured with only a couple of minor grammatical mistakes. Here’s the corrected version:
“I’ve been living in this apartment for the better part of 3 years. I used to live near downtown in a small, congested neighborhood where I found it quite an unsafe environment for a long-term stay, so I decided to move to the outskirts of the city since it’s much more affordable and peaceful. I am currently very happy and over the moon living in my beautiful, cosy apartment.”
1. Remember to use ‘the’ before ‘better part’.
2. Place a comma to separate adjectives that modify the same noun. E.g.: ‘small, congested neighborhood’.
3. Use the phrase ‘quite an unsafe’ instead of ‘quite unsafe’, as it sounds more natural in this context.
Keep up the good work!
I have shifted my house to the outskirts of UAE since last year. It’s a bit massive and quiet. I share it with my family. I used to live in the center of the city. I am much happier living on the outskirts of the city, which is quieter and peaceful.
Your response is quite good, but it has a few grammatical errors. Here’s a corrected version: “I shifted my house to the outskirts of the UAE last year. It’s a bit massive and quiet. I share it with my family. I used to live in the center of the city. I am much happier now, living on the outskirts of the city which is quieter and more peaceful.”
1. Use “moved” rather than “shifted.” ‘Shifted’ sounds awkward in this context.
2. Say “I moved my house to the outskirts of the UAE ‘last year'” instead of “since last year.” ‘Since’ is used for something that is still continuing or that happened at an unknown time.
3. Use “more peaceful” instead of “peaceful.” It gives a comparative perspective which fits better to the context.
Keep practicing!
I have been living here for a better of 2 years because of my work. when i was student, i used to live in house in the middle of the city. I found it much louder and expensive. My choice to live in this home because it is in the outskirts of the town and it give the feelings i need in this period.
Your response is quite good. Here’s a corrected version of your answer with a couple of minor changes:
“I’ve been living here for the better part of 2 years because of my work. When I was a student, I used to live in a house in the middle of the city. I found it much louder and more expensive. My choice to live in this home was because it’s on the outskirts of town and it gives me the feelings I need during this period.”
Mistakes:
1. You should say ‘better part of’ rather than ‘better of’.
2. Remember to always use capital letter at the beginning of each sentence.
3. Using ‘a’ before ‘house’ and ‘more’ before ‘expensive’ better articulates your point.
You’re doing well, keep practicing and you’ll continue to improve!
Actually, i have been living in this apartment for one and half year. I used to live in the heart of the city, but now i live in a outskirts of the city, as i see it much quieter and less cheaper.
Your response is quite good, but here’s a corrected version: “Actually, I have been living in this apartment for one and a half years. I used to live in the heart of the city, but now I live on the outskirts of the city, as I find it much quieter and less expensive.”
Here are the points to note:
1. Be careful with punctuation. Start a sentence with a capital letter, in this case, ‘I’.
2. Say “one and a half years” instead of “one and half year”.
3. “In a outskirts of the city” – it should be “on the outskirts of the city”.
4. Instead of “less cheaper”, use “less expensive”. When using “less” before adjectives, they should be in the base form.
Yes, I’ve been living in this house for several years now..We moved in when I was still quite young, so I’ve spent most of my life here. It’s a place filled with memories, and I feel very attached to it.
I can’t see any mistakes in your answer. You’ve responded to the question thoroughly and accurately, demonstrating a good use of contractions, present perfect tense, and personal expressions. This is excellent work, keep it up!
I’ve been living in my apartment since i got marrie . Before that , i lived with my parents which they are living near of my apartment .
Thank you for your answer. Here’s a corrected version:
“I’ve been living in my apartment since I got married. Before that, I lived with my parents who are living near my apartment.”
There were mainly two errors –
1. “i” should be capitalized to “I”.
2. It would be more grammatically correct to use “who” instead of “which” when you’re referring to people.
Keep practicing and you’ll continue to improve!
I’ve been living in this house since 2020. Before that I used to live in a small apartment in the same neighborhood for quiet part of my life which I quiet small and costly
There are a few errors in your response. Here’s the corrected version:
“I’ve been living in this house since 2020. Before that, I used to live in a small apartment in the same neighborhood for quite a part of my life. It was quite small and costly.”
Here are the mistakes you made:
1. Instead of ‘quiet’ you should have said ‘quite’ when you were describing the part of your life when you lived in the apartment.
2. The last part of your sentence was fragmented. I have corrected this by adding “It was” before “quite small and costly”.
Keep practicing, you’re doing great!
I’ve been living in our home for the better part of two years. I used to rent a one-bedroom apartment, but to be honest, I found it a bit loud and expensive. I’m much happier living with my family, which is more convenient.
Your answer is well-structured and there are no grammatical errors. Good job demonstrating a clear point of view and brings in details related to cost and noise level for texture. You’re keeping your content personal and easy to understand which is perfect for the IELTS exam. Keep up the good work!
I’ve been living in my apartment for the better part of 4 years. I moved here after I got married. I used to live in my parents’ home, but to be honest, I found it a bit cramped. I’m much happier moving on where it’s freer and quieter.
Your answer is great, there are no mistakes that I can see! Your use of language, timing, and self-expression are all appropriate and you’ve answered the question thoroughly. Keep practicing this way!
I’ve been living in this house for 7 seven years now. I inherited this house from my parents. I grew up and spent my childhood in this house. And it’s time for me to build new memories with my nuclear family in this lovely house.
Your answer is almost perfect, but there’s a small redundancy error. Here’s the corrected version: “I’ve been living in this house for seven years now. I inherited this house from my parents. I grew up and spent my childhood in this house. And it’s time for me to build new memories with my nuclear family in this lovely house.”
The correction is with saying “7 seven”. You just need to say “seven”. Great job overall! Keep practicing!
I have been living in this house for 10 years. when I was growing up, the previous house I lived in was not big enough for us. so we moved to this house. I used to live in the outskirts of the city bout to be honest I found it very difficult live there because there were not enough facilities for us. now I am much happier living in the city center because I can easily access much things like hospitals , educational institutions and much more.
Thanks for your answer. You’ve given a good, detailed response. However, there are a few improvements we can make. Here’s a corrected version:
“I’ve been living in this house for 10 years. When I was growing up, the previous house I lived in wasn’t big enough for us, so we moved to this one. I used to live on the outskirts of the city, but to be honest, I found it very difficult to live there because there weren’t enough facilities for us. Now, I’m much happier living in the city center because I can easily access many things, like hospitals, educational institutions, and much more.”
Here are the main corrections:
1. Use contractions in informal speech: Instead of “was not”, use “wasn’t”.
2. Be careful with prepositions: You said “bout”, but it seems you wanted to say “but”. Also, it was “difficult live there” – it should be “difficult to live there”.
3. Word choice: “Much things” should be “many things”. ‘Much’ is used with uncountable nouns and ‘many’ is used with countable nouns.
Keep practicing! You’re doing really well!
I have been living in this house for 10 years. when I was growing up, the previous house I lived in was not big enough for us. At that time , we moved to this house. I used to live in the outskirts of the city. but to be honest, I found it very difficult to live there because there were not enough facilities. Now I am happier living in the city center because we can easily access many things like hospital , education institutes and much more.
Your answer is quite good! Please find the improved version of your response below:
“I’ve been living in this house for 10 years. When I was growing up, the previous house I lived in wasn’t big enough for us. So, we moved to this house. I used to live in the outskirts of the city, but, to be honest, I found it very difficult to live there because there weren’t enough facilities. Now, I’m happier living in the city center because we can easily access many things, like hospitals, educational institutions, and much more.”
Mistakes:
1. In your original response, you said, “the previous house I lived in was not big enough for us.” However, it should be “wasn’t” to make it a little less formal, as it’s a spoken answer.
2. In the sentence where you state, “there were not enough facilities,” you should use the contraction “weren’t” instead of “were not.”
3. In the last sentence, you referred to “hospital , education institutes,” but it should be “hospitals, educational institutions” to be grammatically correct. Keep practicing, you’re doing well!
Yeah, I’ve been leaving here for five years, I think, before that we used to live, me and my family, my wife and my daughter in the center of the town, we live in Madrid, and we lived in a much smaller apartment so we are much better here because is more spacious.
Thanks for your answer. There are few errors to correct here:
“Yeah, I’ve been living here for five years, I think. Before that, my family – my wife and daughter – and I lived in the center of Madrid, in a much smaller apartment. So, we’re much happier here because it’s more spacious.”
Your corrections are:
1. It’s “living here” not “leaving here”.
2. The sentence “before that we used to live, me and my family, my wife and my daughter in the center of the town, we live in Madrid,” is not quite right. A corrected sentence would be “Before that, my family – my wife and daughter – and I lived in the center of Madrid.”
3. It should be “it’s more spacious” not “is more spacious”.
Keep practicing!
l have been living in my apartment for 7 years. l much preferred living in the city center because it is quite easy to go wherever l want
Your answer is nearly perfect, but there are a couple of minor adjustments that could improve it. Here’s a corrected version of your response:
“I’ve been living in my apartment for 7 years. I really prefer living in the city center because it’s quite easy to go wherever I want.”
1. Use contractions like “I’ve” instead of “l have”. It sounds more natural in spoken English.
2. Use “really prefer” instead of “much preferred” to more accurately reflect your current feelings. “Much preferred” implies that you no longer live there.
Keep up the great work!
I’ve been living in my apartment for the past two years. We lived in a small house in the City Centre . I found it is expensive and loud. To be honest , I prefer living in the outskirts of the city, it is more affordable and quieter.
Your answer is mostly correct, but there are a couple of minor mistakes in it. Here is the corrected version:
“I’ve been living in my apartment for the past two years. Before that, we lived in a small house in the city centre. I found it too expensive and loud. To be honest, I prefer living on the outskirts of the city, as it’s more affordable and quieter.”
Mistakes:
1. A better phrasing is “Before that” instead of “We lived in a small house in the City Centre”
2. Remember to use the pronoun “it” before adjectives like ‘too expensive and loud’.
3. Use “on the outskirts” instead of “in the outskirts”.
I’ve been living in my apartment for about two years. I used to live in a city with busy traffic in Sri Lanka. So when we were planning to move to UK we wanted to make it in a quiet area with lots of greenery dotted. I’m much happier when living in the outskirts of the city where is quieter.
Your answer is generally good but there are a few areas that could be improved for clarity and accuracy. Here’s a corrected version:
“I’ve been living in my apartment for about two years. I used to live in a city with busy traffic in Sri Lanka. So, when we planned to move to the UK, we aimed for a quiet area dotted with lots of greenery. I’m much happier now, living on the outskirts of the city where it’s quieter.”
Mistakes that were corrected:
1. The phrase “we wanted to make it in a quiet area” has been changed to “we aimed for a quiet area”. This preserves the meaning while being grammatically correct.
2. “Greenery dotted” has been revised to “dotted with lots of greenery”.
3. The last segment of your sentence, “where is quieter.”, has been corrected to “where it’s quieter”.
I’ve been living in my apartment since last year. I used to live in the heart of the city, but honestly, I found it a bit costly. I can say I prefer living in the outskirts of the city, where it’s more affordable and quieter.
Your answer is actually very good and I can’t see any mistakes. You’ve structured your points and thoughts well which is great for the IELTS speaking section. Good job!
I’ve been living in this house since 2008. Before that, we lived in a smaller house on the same street. But over time, as my brothers and I grew up and our grandparents moved in, we needed a bigger place. So we moved into this one.
I can’t see any mistakes in your answer. Your response is well-structured and clear. You’ve done a great job of explaining the reason for changing houses and mentioning approximately when it happened. Keep practicing like this.
I’ve been living in my apartment for over three years now. It’s my first apartment since I moved into the the country. I love my apartment, however, I think my children are fast outgrowing the apartment in terms of space and as such, we’re planning to move by next year.
Your answer is well-structured and to the point. However, there’s a small typo in this sentence: “It’s my first apartment since I moved into the the country.” The correct sentence should be: “It’s my first apartment since I moved into the country.”
Additionally, the phrase “my children are fast outgrowing the apartment” might sound a bit odd. I suggest changing this part to something like: “my children are quickly outgrowing the space in the apartment”.
Here’s the corrected version of your answer: “I’ve been living in my apartment for over three years now. It’s my first apartment since I moved into the country. I love my apartment, however, I think my children are quickly outgrowing the space. Because of this, we’re planning to move by next year.”
I’ve been living in my house for about 3 years. I used to live in a countryside, which I found it more relaxing, calm and comfortable, as I am with my parents. I am proud that I am able to live on my this time.
Here’s a corrected version of your answer: “I’ve been living in my house for about 3 years. I used to live in the countryside, which I found more relaxing, calm, and comfortable, especially because I was with my parents. I’m proud that I’m able to live on my own now.”
Here are a couple of mistakes to note:
1. You should say “the countryside”. In English, we put ‘the’ before the countryside.
2. The phrase “I am proud that I am able to live on my this time” doesn’t make sense. I think you wanted to say “I’m proud that I’m able to live on my own now”.
Yes, i think so. Most of entire childhood was spent here, aside from going on a vacation and when i went to college, and even now that i’m already married, I’m still residing here. Who can blame me? i mean, the green scenery, the calmness of the surroundings, our peaceful neighbourhood. This place is superb and i’m happy of where i am now. I wouldn’t desire to live in any other places except here.
Your answer is very clear and expressive, but there are a few minor grammatical errors. Here’s a corrected version:
“Yes, I think so. Most of my entire childhood was spent here, aside from going on vacation and when I went to college. Even now that I’m already married, I’m still residing here. Who can blame me? I mean, the green scenery, the calmness of the surroundings, our peaceful neighbourhood – this place is superb and I’m happy with where I am now. I wouldn’t desire to live in any other place except here.”
1. “Most of entire childhood” should be “Most of my entire childhood”.
2. “going on a vacation” is more naturally expressed as “going on vacation”.
3. “I’m happy of where I am now” should be “I’m happy with where I am now”.
Keep up the good work and happy studying!
I’ve been livling in my apartment for the better part of two years. I used to live in the Kangaroo point for a month, when i arrived in Australia, but to be honest, I found it hard to use public transportation at night time. I,m much happier living in the sub next to the city, where it’s easier to travel.
Thanks for the response. I noticed a few errors in your answer. Here’s the corrected version:
“I’ve been living in my apartment for the better part of two years. I used to live in Kangaroo Point for a month when I arrived in Australia, but to be honest, I found it hard to use public transportation at night. I’m much happier living in the suburb next to the city, where it’s easier to travel.”
Mistakes and Corrections:
1. “livling” should be “living”
2. “the Kangaroo point” should be “Kangaroo Point”
3. “I,m” should be “I’m”
Remember, proper use of punctuation and correct spelling are really important in your responses. Keep practicing!
Since I open my eyes, I have been rooted to this neighbor. Currently, for the morning, I am working at the city center and I found it quite exhausting and expensive. I am much happier living at the outskirts for the latter part of the day where it is more peaceful.
Thanks for your response. Here’s a corrected version of your answer: “Since I opened my eyes, I have been rooted in this neighborhood. Currently, I work in the city center in the morning and I find it quite exhausting and expensive. For the latter part of the day, I’m much happier living on the outskirts where it’s more peaceful.”
Here’s the feedback on your previous version:
1. Make sure to use past tense when referring to an action that begun in the past. So instead of “Since I open my eyes”, use “Since I opened my eyes.”
2. Be mindful of prepositions. Instead of “to this neighbor”, use “in this neighborhood.”
3. Remember that English speakers typically say “on the outskirts” rather than “at the outskirts”.
Keep up the good work!
I’ve been living here for the last couple of months. I used to live on the outskirts of Porto Alegre, which I found it quieter and less crowded. I much prefer living in the countryside.
Your answer is quite good, just a small correction needed. You said, “which I found it quieter and less crowded.” In this case, you don’t need the word “it”. So the correct sentence would be:
“I’ve been living here for the last couple of months. I used to live on the outskirts of Porto Alegre, which I found quieter and less crowded. I much prefer living in the countryside.”
Keep practicing!
I have been living here for the better part of 10 years with my family and i am living in the outskirts of city, where it is quiter.
Your answer was mostly spot on, however, there are just a few minor corrections needed:
“I’ve been living here for the better part of 10 years with my family. I live on the outskirts of the city, where it’s quieter.”
Here are a couple of things to bear in mind for next time:
1. Always use a contraction for “I am” in casual speech (I’m).
2. The word “quieter” was misspelled. Make sure you double-check these things as they can impact your score.
3. It’s a good idea to split ideas into separate sentences to make your answer clearer.
Keep practicing!
I’ve been living in my apartment since I came back from India,I used to live in the outskirts of the city ,but I found it a bit boring, i much prefer living in the city center where it’s cooller
Your answer is almost correct, but there are a few minor mistakes. Here’s the corrected version:
“I’ve been living in my apartment since I came back from India. I used to live in the outskirts of the city, but I found it a bit boring. I much prefer living in the city center where it’s cooler.”
1. Remember to use a space after a comma or a full stop. It helps to make your answer easier to read.
2. “cooller” is not a word. You probably meant “cooler”.
3. You might want to explain why you find living in the city center to be cooler. As it is, it’s a little undefined. It could be that there’s more to do, there are more people, it’s more happening, etc. Use a sentence to state why you prefer living there. It gives your answer more detail and makes it more interesting.
I’ve been living here for roughly a decade. I used to live in a tiny village in the country, but then I moved to the city because I had to pursue my education at uni. Honestly speaking, I sometimes miss living in a quiet and peaceful environment which is close to the nature. It was quite difficult for me to adapt to the city life at first, but now I’m used to it.
Your answer is fantastic! I can’t see any errors. Good job! The details and the way you presented your thoughts are impressive. Keep it up!
I’ve been living here till now with my family but, right now I’m planning to move abroad for my higher education purpose. So this time I’m going to miss my home and hometown a lot.
Your answer is mostly good, but there’s a slight confusion caused by using “till now”. A better way to phrase it could be, “I’ve been living here with my family up until now, but I’m currently planning to move abroad for my higher education. I know I’m going to miss my home and hometown a lot.” Always remember to use the phrase ‘up until now’ to refer to something that started in the past and is still happening now or was happening until very recently.
i have been living in my apartment for the better part of 4 years. i used to live in Taraz, which is the oldest city in my country. but to be honest, i found it a bit terrible. i am much happiesr living in the capital city, which has many opportunities for the future.
Your answer was nearly perfect! There’s just a minor spelling mistake. Here’s the corrected version:
“I have been living in my apartment for the better part of 4 years. I used to live in Taraz, which is the oldest city in my country. But to be honest, I found it a bit terrible. I am much happier living in the capital city, which has many opportunities for the future.”
Remember to double-check your spelling (“happier” instead of “happiesr”) to avoid easy mistakes. Keep practicing!
I have been living in my home for the better part of 17 years. My house in city center in HCM city, honestly, I found it loud and expensive but I don’t mind it. However, on the outskirts is very much peaceful, it’s uncomfortable.
Thank you for your answer. Here’s your revised response:
“I’ve been living in my home for the better part of 17 years. It’s located in the city center of HCM city, which, to be honest, I find quite loud and expensive, but it doesn’t really bother me. On the other hand, the outskirts of the city are very peaceful, though they can be a bit uncomfortable.”
Here are 2 points you can improve:
1. The location of your house should be clarified at the start.
2. The last sentence had a grammar issue. Instead of saying “on the outskirts is very much peaceful”, use “the outskirts are very peaceful”.
Keep practicing and do plenty of speaking exercises. Also, get used to giving slightly longer, detailed answers. Best of luck with your IELTS preparation!
I have been living in my own home nearly 10 years.before that we used to share a house with my ankle and i found it very crowd and uncomfortable. Now we are living in a detached home. To be honest it gives a sense of freedom and im too much happier living here
Thanks for sharing your answer. It was good, but few errors can be corrected. Here’s the corrected version:
“I’ve been living in my own home for nearly 10 years. Before that, we used to share a house with my uncle and I found it very crowded and uncomfortable. Now we’re living in a detached home. To be honest, it gives a sense of freedom and I’m much happier living here.”
1. Spelling mistake: ‘ankle’ should be ‘uncle’.
2. The word ‘crowd’ should be ‘crowded’.
3. ‘im too much happier’ – this sounds natural but not grammatically correct. It’s better to say ‘I’m much happier.’
So keep it up, you’re doing well! You’re improving.
I have living in my own home for about 10 years.befor that we use to share a house with my ankle and now we staying a detached house that give me a sense of freedom and im quite happier living here.
Thanks for sharing your response! Here is a corrected version with few grammatical errors fixed:
“I’ve been living in my own home for about 10 years now. Before that, we used to share a house with my uncle, but now we’re staying in a detached house which gives me a sense of freedom, and I’m much happier living here.”
Here are the errors in the original:
– Use “been living” instead of “living” for correct tense usage
– In “befor that”, it should be spelled “before”
– “Ankle” should be “uncle”
– A small ((n) was missing in “we use to”, it should be “we used to”
– Remember to use apostrophes in contractions like “we’re”, “I’m”
– “im quite happier” should be “I’m much happier”.
Keep practicing! You’re doing well in providing detailed responses.
Well I’ve been living in galagedara for two months. I’ve been moved since I got married. I used to live in Colombo which my birth place. To be honest I found it a bit loud and expensive. But in much happier living on my wife’s house where it’s it’s quite
Thanks for your answer! It's mostly good, but there are few corrections needed. Your corrected answer would look like this:
"Well, I’ve been living in Galagedara for two months. I moved here when I got married. I used to live in Colombo, which is my birthplace. To be honest, I found it a bit loud and expensive. But, I'm so much happier now living in my wife’s house where it's quiet."
Mistakes:
1. "I’ve been moved since I got married" should be "I moved here when I got married".
2. "which my birth place" should be "which is my birthplace".
3. "in much happier living" should be "I'm so much happier now living".
Keep working at it, you're doing well!
I have been living in the house most of my life. I used to live in a dorm during training in residency program. I would like to say that I prefer live in house because i like to have my own space for relaxing myself.
Your answer is quite good but there are a few minor errors that need to be corrected. Here's a corrected version of your answer:
"I have been living in this house for most of my life. I used to live in a dorm during my training in a residency program. I would like to say that I prefer living in a house because I like to have my own space to relax."
Mistakes:
1. It's better to say "in this house" instead of "in the house".
2. Remember to include 'my' before 'training' to make the sentence more precise.
3. Use 'living' after 'prefer', not 'live'.
4. Use 'to relax' instead of 'for relaxing myself'. This sounds more natural.
Keep practicing!
I’ve lived at my home since I was born so it has been around 17 years. The quite and peaceful environment with less crowd is the main reason why we haven’t changed the house. Also the residents are very friendly and lend a helping hand at the time of hardship.
Thanks for your answer. I see only a minor mistake. You wrote "The quite and peaceful environment", but you meant to say "The quiet and peaceful environment". Here is the corrected version:
"I've lived at my home since I was born so it has been around 17 years. The quiet and peaceful environment with less crowd is the main reason why we haven't changed the house. Also, the residents are very friendly and lend a helping hand at the time of hardship."
Great job otherwise!
I’ve been living in this house for the better part of two years now. I used to live in a place close to the high street but in all honesty,eventhough the accessibility to everything was the highlight, yet I felt it to be too noisy and cramped. I don’t have a plan to move from here in the near future. I would agree to extend my current rental contract if the landlord agrees the same.
Your answer is great but there's a small mistake that needs to be corrected to make your sentence more clear. When you wrote "I would agree to extend my current rental contract if the landlord agrees the same.", it would be better to say, "I would agree to extend my current rental contract if the landlord feels the same.".
Here is the corrected version of your answer:
"I've been living in this house for the better part of two years now. I used to live in a place close to the high street but in all honesty, even though the accessibility to everything was the highlight, I found it to be too noisy and cramped. I don't have any plans to move from here in the near future. I would agree to extend my current rental contract if the landlord feels the same."
Well done! Keep practicing!
Thank you Sammy
It seems like you're thanking me for something. You're welcome! Good luck with your continued studies and IELTS preparation.
Yeah, I’d say so. I mean, I’ve been living in here for the better part of 10 years, which is quite a long time, right? Half my age. I used to live right in the heart of the city, and to be honest, it was extremely cramped and busy. I’m much happier staying here; it’s less crowded, more laid-back even though it still sits in the inner city.
There aren't any errors in your answer – your usage of English is very natural and appropriate for the question. Just keep in mind to continue varying your vocabulary and sentence structures as you've done here, as that will really help to boost your score. Great job!
I’ve been living here for nearly three years. I used to live in a quiet area close to a train station and big supermarkets, I think outskirts is much betett, becaue my cuurent flat is located onthe busies street close to the unvieirsty, it is handy to uni, but loud and expensive.
Your answer is quite good, however there are some spelling mistakes and your sentence structure could be improved. Here's a corrected version:
"I've been living here for nearly three years. Before that, I used to live in a quiet area close to a train station and big supermarkets. I think the outskirts were much better because my current flat is located on the busiest street close to the university. It's handy for uni, but it's loud and expensive."
Mistakes:
1. Spelling and typographical errors: "betett", "cuurent", "onthe", "unvieirsty" should be "better", "current", "on the", "university" respectively.
2. The second sentence is exceptionally long; it could be broken up for clarity.
3. In your comparison approach, make sure you're clear about what you're comparing. For example, you could clearly state that you're comparing your previous location to your current one.
I have been living in this house since my childhood. To be honest, I would like to live in the outside of the city more than town areas. Since a long times, our family members leads their works and studies near city area and it is convenient that our house is located in close to the town.
Thank you for your response. Here's a corrected version of your answer:
"I have lived in this house since my child hood. To be honest, I would prefer to live outside the city rather than in town areas. For a long time, our family members have worked and studied near the city area, so it's convenient that our house is located close to the town."
And here are the errors to pay attention:
1. Rather than saying "I would like to live," you could say "I would prefer to live".
2. Instead of "Since a long times," you might say "For a long time".
3. Instead of "leads their works and studies," you should say "have worked and studied".
These corrections will make your response sound more natural and grammatically correct. Keep up the good work!
I have been living in this apartment for 10 years because the city is less expensive than Los Angeles. I used to live in Los Angeles, but I found it a little bit loud and expensive. I really love to live in a truistic city like Anaheim.
Your response is generally good, but there is a small mistake in this sentence. The word "truistic" means selfless, it does not describe a type of city. You might have been trying to describe a touristic city. Here is the corrected version:
"I have been living in this apartment for 10 years because the city is less expensive than Los Angeles. I used to live in Los Angeles, but I found it a little bit loud and expensive. I really love living in a touristic city like Anaheim."
Remember that especially in spoken English, shorter, simpler sentences are typically better. Your response clearly answers the question and gives some insightful reasons for your decisions. Keep up the good work!
I have been living in my apartment for a better part of 2 years, since I got promoted in my work. I used to live in the city center with my family where I constantly experience traffic congestion and long commute to work. I much prefer living in the outskirts of city where is more peaceful and serene
Thanks for your answer! You’ve given some good information here. There are a few minor tweaks we need, though. Let’s correct them:
"I have been living in my apartment for the better part of 2 years, since I got promoted at work. I used to live in the city center with my family where I constantly experienced traffic congestion and a long commute to work. I much prefer living on the outskirts of the city where it's more peaceful and serene".
1. Use "the" before "better part of 2 years". Specs require more precision.
2. Use "at work" instead of "in my work". You're promoted at a place not in an activity.
3. "I constantly experienced traffic congestion" is preferred in past tense, as it's an action fully completed.
4. "On the outskirts" is the correct preposition for indicating the location.
5. Use "it's" instead of "is". The subject here refers to the "outskirts of the city".
Keep the good work up!
I have been living in this house for the better part of 8 years. I used to live in a tiny apartment next to the forest, which it got so dark and scary at night. The current house makes the transportation to my school easier and faster.
Your answer is almost perfect but there's a small mistake. Here's the corrected version:
"I've been living in this house for the better part of 8 years. I used to live in a tiny apartment next to the forest, where it got so dark and scary at night. The current house makes the transportation to my school easier and faster."
Mistake:
1. You've used 'which' instead of 'where' in the phrase 'next to the forest, which it got so dark…'. Here, since you're talking about a place, the correct word is 'where'. It should be 'next to the forest, where it got so dark…'. The word 'which' is usually used for things or animals, not places. Keep up the good work!
I have been living in my home for the better part of twenty years. My house is in the city center, honestly, it is quite loud and expensive, but I don’t find it hard. I am much happier living in the city center where I have no difficulty going shopping and transportation.
Your answer is very good, but there's a small room for improvement. Let's correct it:
"I've been living in my home for the better part of twenty years. My house is in the city center. Honestly, it's quite loud and expensive, but I don't mind it. I'm much happier living in the city center because it's easier for me to go shopping and get transportation."
I have noticed three points to improve:
1. The transition between your second and third sentences was a bit abrupt. To make it smoother, you can use a period instead of a comma after "city center".
2. Instead of saying "I don't find it hard", which could be confusing to listeners not sure what 'it' refers to, use "I don't mind it".
3. Using "I have no difficulty" is a bit too formal for this context. In spoken English, it would be more natural to say "it's easier for me".
Good work! Keep it up.
I have been living in my apartment for the better parts of 4 years. I used to live in the city centers, but to be honest, I found it a little bit noisy and expensive. Now, I’m much happier living in my university hall room where it is quieter.
Your answer is almost perfect. However, there's a little correction needed. The phrase should be "the better part of 4 years," not "the better parts of 4 years." The rest of your response is great!
Corrected version: "I have been living in my apartment for the better part of 4 years. I used to live in the city center, but to be honest, I found it a little bit noisy and expensive. Now, I'm much happier living in my university hall room where it is quieter."
I have been living in my apartment since we moved to this city. I used to live in a semi-detached house. Actually, I was always interested in living in the city because I thought I would have a lot of time to do
Your answer is mostly good, but there's a slight disconnect at the end. It seems like you may have cut yourself off a bit prematurely. Here's a corrected version:
"I have been living in my apartment since we moved to this city. I used to live in a semi-detached house. Actually, I was always interested in living in the city because I thought I would have a lot more to do."
Just remember to complete your thoughts and ideas fully for clarity. Keep practicing!
Absolutely. I’ve been living in my apartment for the better part of 15 years. It’s in a highly convenient location—just a stone’s throw from shops, restaurants, cafés, schools, mosques, and, not to mention, public transport. Over time, I’ve grown quite attached to the neighborhood because it strikes a perfect balance between liveliness and safety. Initially, I moved in for practical reasons, but over the years, it has truly come to feel like home.
I can't see any mistakes in your answer. Your use of descriptive language and your ability to condense a lot of information into your response is great. You've provided specific details about your living situation and your feelings about it, which adds depth and personal touch to your response. Well done!
I’ve been living in this house for 5 years since we bought it. The house is located in a residential neighborhood on the southside of town. I like the location since it’s very close to grocery markets and parks and a school. Although I don’t have kids, I feel quite safe and convenient.
Your answer is excellent! There are no errors that I can point out. It is organized, contains all the necessary information and is grammatically correct. Excellent work!
hmm, I have been living in my flat since I got married in 2018. I used to live alone in the Bangkok city centre for the better of 10 years and I found it really hard to cope with air pollution and the heat of a tropical country. After moving to Picton, New Zealand with my husband, I feel much happier and my health has been improved.
Your answer is great and clear! However, there’s a small mistake to note. Instead of saying ‘for the better of 10 years’, the correct phrase is ‘for the better part of 10 years’. Here’s your corrected version:
“Hmm, I have been living in my flat since I got married in 2018. I used to live alone in the Bangkok city centre for the better part of 10 years and I found it really hard to cope with the air pollution and the heat of a tropical country. After moving to Picton, New Zealand with my husband, I feel much happier and my health has also improved.”
Keep practicing! You’re doing well.
I’ve been living in my home since last March. I used to live in Saint Johns, but to be honest, I found it a bit old and expensive. I’m much happier living in Stonesfield, where it’s closer to the children’s school
Hi there! Your answer is great and I can’t see any mistakes. Keep it up!
I’ve been living in this villa since 2 years ago. There are little trees nearby which I find it relaxing and it’s peaceful place. I used to live in the city centre, downtown, but then I found it too crowded and a bit loud. I can hardly rest when I arrived home from my work.
Thank you for your response. You’ve done well in expressing your thoughts. However, a couple of minor corrections can be made to improve your response:
“I’ve been living in this villa for 2 years now. There are a few trees nearby which I find relaxing. It’s a peaceful place. I used to live in the city centre, downtown, but I found it too crowded and a bit loud. I could hardly rest when I arrived home from work.”
1. When you speak about durations, it’s better to use “for” instead of “since”.
2. When referring to a small quantity, “a few” is more appropriate than “little”.
3. I removed the “it” after “I find”. In this sentence, the word “it” is unnecessary.
Please keep practicing. Great job!
I have been living in this apartment for almost five years. I used to live in the countryside, but it was too far from my new job. My apartment isn’t small but it’s suitable. It’s in the middle of the city so I can easily afford getting to my job.
Your answer is pretty good but I noticed a small error in your use of the word ‘afford.’ The way you used ‘afford’ doesn’t quite fit the sentence’s context where ‘access’ or ‘reach’ would make better sense. Here’s a corrected version:
“I have been living in this apartment for almost five years. I used to live in the countryside, but it was too far from my new job. My apartment isn’t small but it’s suitable. It’s in the middle of the city so I can easily reach my job.”
Keep practicing and you’ll become more comfortable with these kinds of phrases.
I’ve been living in our tastefully furnished apartment since I got married. I used to stay in with my parents, but after a while I found it loud and cramped. I’m much happier moving on where it’s more spacious and quieter.
Your answer is well-structured and clearly communicates your thoughts. However, there’s a minor error. Instead of saying “I used to stay in with my parents,” it would be more appropriate to say “I used to live with my parents.” Here’s the corrected version:
“I’ve been living in our tastefully furnished apartment since I got married. I used to live with my parents, but after a while, I found it loud and cramped. I’m much happier now that I’ve moved to a place that’s more spacious and quieter.”
Keep up the good work!
I have been living in my apartment for almost 12 years. I used to live in my grandmother’s house until I got married. I had to move to this apartment with my husband and children. I’m much happier living in it, because it’s near my work place and my children’s school.
I can’t see any mistakes in your answer. It’s very clear and it answers the question well. Keep practicing like this.
I have been living in this apartment almost five years.i used to live in the city center but this is too expensive.My apartment is small and cozy.This is the middle of this city so i can move easily everywhere.My house owner is very frindly and lovable.
Thanks for your response. Here are some corrections to improve your answer:
“I have been living in this apartment for almost five years. I used to live in the city center, but it was too expensive. My apartment is small and cozy. It’s in the middle of the city so I can easily travel everywhere. My landlord is very friendly and lovable.”
Mistakes:
1. Missing a space after punctuation: After periods, it’s important to remember to add a space before beginning the next sentence.
2. Wrong use of ‘this’: Instead of saying “this is too expensive,” use “it was too expensive.”
3. Incorrect term: Use the term ‘landlord’ instead of ‘house owner’ when speaking about the person from whom you rent the apartment.
Good luck with your studies!
Yes, I have. I’ve been living in this apartment for about four years now. It feels like home, and I’m really comfortable here. I’ve definitely settled in and gotten to know the neighborhood well.
I can’t see any mistakes in your answer. You’ve answered the question completely and clearly. You used the present perfect tense correctly, which is important when talking about something that started in the past and is still happening now. Good job!
I’ve been living in my apartment since I got married. I used to live in the city centre, which is close to my company, but to be honest,I found it a bit noisy at night because of the night market. I’m
much happier living on the outskirts of the city where it’s quieter and so refreshing.
Your response is great, and I can’t see any mistakes in your answer. You’ve used past and present tenses correctly and have also given good reasons for your decision to move, which provides more depth to your answer. Well done!
I’ve been living my bungalow with parents almost 30 years from now, there has many precious memories with my relatives and folks. I used to live in HangZhou for 7 years, but to be honest, living in there that it’s hard to find a sense of belonging. so, I’m lucky that I’ve decided to came back to my hometome with families. Living in a small county I found that happies and fulfillment.
Thanks for your answer. Here’s a corrected version of your answer:
“I’ve been living in my bungalow with my parents for almost 30 years now. It holds many precious memories with my relatives and friends. I also lived in HangZhou for 7 years, but to be honest, living there, it was hard to find a sense of belonging. So, I’m lucky that I decided to come back to my hometown with my family. Living in a small county, I found happiness and fulfillment.”
Here are some mistakes to consider:
1. Make sure to use prepositions correctly. It should be “in my bungalow” not “my bungalow”.
2. Be careful with tense agreement. You used “came back”, but it should be “decided to come back” because you’re talking about a past action.
3. Use the correct plural and singular forms. It should be “my family” not “families”.
Keep practicing! You’re doing well.
I’ve been living in my current apartment for more than 2 years. We had a two year contract which expired this February. We renewed it for another year. We really love the time that we spent in this house. We are not planning to switch the house unless otherwise we are leaving Thailand.
Your answer is quite good and almost accurate. Here’s a slight correction to make it perfect:
“I’ve been living in my current apartment for more than 2 years. We had a two-year contract which expired this past February. We’ve renewed it for another year. We really love the time that we’ve spent in this house. We’re not planning to move to a different house unless we decide to leave Thailand.”
Note:
1. Use “past February” instead of “this February” if you’re referring to February of a previous year.
2. When talking about a past continuity into the slightest future or present it’s better to use have/has been+verb-ing. So, you should use “We’ve renewed” instead of “We renewed”.
3. The correct phrasing is ‘move to a different house’, not ‘switch the house’.
Please keep practicing!
I’ve been living in my house for about two years since I got married, I used to live on the outskirts of Lagos with my parents and siblings which was a bit far to my workplace, I’m much happier living in the city because it makes my commute to work much faster
Your answer is nearly perfect. There's just one small error. Instead of saying "which was a bit far to my workplace," you should say "which was a bit far from my workplace." Here is the revised version:
"I've been living in my house for about two years since I got married. I used to live on the outskirts of Lagos with my parents and siblings, which was a bit far from my workplace. I'm much happier living in the city because it makes my commute to work much faster."
Adding some conjunctions and breaking a lengthy sentence into two can also improve speech fluency. Keep practicing!
I’ve been living in this house for nearly a decade now. My family moved here about 10 years ago, when we decided to move to a quieter, more residential area away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Over the years, it has evolved into much more than just a place to live. It’s a repository of cherished Family moments. It’s familiarity and warmth makes it incredibly special to me.
Your answer is well-structured and gives the listener a good insight into how much you appreciate your home. I can’t see any mistakes in your answer, it’s perfect! You’ve done an excellent job of providing a thorough, thoughtful response. Good job!

I have been living in this home for two years. I used to live with my parents since I graduated. Needless to say that enjoy my freedom living along
Here is the corrected version of your response: “I have been living in this home for two years. I used to live with my parents until I graduated. Needless to say, I enjoy my freedom living alone.”
You had a couple of mistakes in your response.
1. Use “until” instead of “since” when referring to a specific point in time (the moment of your graduation in this case).
2. Add a comma after “Needless to say” – it’s a transitional phrase that should be followed by a comma.
3. You meant to say “living alone” instead of “living along”.
Keep practicing; you’re doing well overall!
I’ve been living in my apartment for the better part of five years. I used to live on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City, but honestly, I found it a bit boring and unsafe. I’m much more excited living in the city center, where it’s more bustling and, you know, importantly, secure.
I can’t see any mistakes in your answer. Your response is clear, provides relevant information, and offers personal insight which is great for the IELTS speaking section. Well done!
Yeah, I’ve been living in this condo for about one and a half years. Before that, I was living in Yangon, which is also my hometown. But due to the situation in Myanmar, I decided to move abroad for further study. Now, I’ve gotten used to the lively atmosphere of a big city like Bangkok.
I can’t see any mistakes in your answer. Your use of different verb tenses and transitions are spot-on. Good job! Keep on practicing.
I’ve been living in my house since i was a child. Although living in the countryside is quieter and more peaceful, I prefer living in or near the city where life becomes easier. Everything you need is in your reach. Universities, hospitals, healthcare services, restaurants, shops, and entertainment options are just around the corner, making life more convenient and enjoyable.
You have a great response there, however, just a small correction is needed. The corrected sentence would be:
“I’ve been living in my house since I was a child. Although living in the countryside is quieter and more peaceful, I prefer living in or near the city where life is easier. Everything you need is within reach. Universities, hospitals, healthcare services, restaurants, shops, and entertainment options are just around the corner, making life more convenient and enjoyable.”
Mistakes to improve:
1. “Everything you need is in your reach” should be “Everything you need is within reach.”
2. Always capitalize ‘I’.
You are doing well, keep practicing!
Yes, certainly I have. I’ve been living here since 2014. Before that we used to live in a one-bedroom flat, which had been converted into an apartment block. I spent around 2 years before moving into this place.
Your response is mostly perfect with just a minor mistake. Here is the corrected version:
“Yes, certainly I have. I’ve been living here since 2014. Before that, we used to live in a one-bedroom flat, which had been converted into an apartment block. I spent around 2 years there before moving into this place.”
Mistake:
– Misuse of “before”: You said “I spent around 2 years before moving into this place.” It would be clearer to say “I spent around 2 years there before moving into this place.” This sentence now correctly indicates where you spent the two years.
Keep practicing! You’re doing well!
Well,I’ve been living in my house since I got married.I used to live in the city centre,but to be honest, I found it a bit noisy and expensive.I’m much happier now living on the outskirts of the city,where it’s quieter and more peaceful.

I’ve been living in my house for the better part of 10 years. I used to live in Saudi Arabia in the city center, but to be honest I found a bit noisy, and busy. I am much happier living in the outskirt of the city, where its quieter.
Your answer is almost perfect. There is just one minor correction needed. Your original sentence:
“I am much happier living in the outskirt of the city, where its quieter.” should be “I am much happier living in the outskirts of the city, where it’s quieter.”
Here is the corrected version:
“I’ve been living in my house for the better part of 10 years. I used to live in Saudi Arabia in the city center, but to be honest, I found it a bit noisy and busy. I am much happier living in the outskirts of the city, where it’s quieter.”
Keep up the good work!
I got a spacious three bed house on the outskirts of London.I live there with my husband and son.It got cosy living area with lots of sunlight.Moreover we got modular open plan kitchen .I spent all of my time in there
Here is your corrected answer:
“I’ve got a spacious three-bed house on the outskirts of London. I live there with my husband and son. It has a cosy living area with lots of sunlight. Moreover, we have a modular open-plan kitchen. I spend all of my time in there.”
Mistake 1: Use “I’ve got” instead of “I got”. “I got” suggests that this happened in the past. “I’ve got” implies that you currently have this house.
Mistake 2: Use “has” instead of “got” in “It has a cosy living area”. “Got” is informal and can be considered poor English in this context.
Mistake 3: Use “spend” instead of “spent” in “I spend all my time”. “Spent” is past tense, while “spend” is present tense. You want to show that this is a continuing action, so use the present tense.
I’ve been living in my apartment since my birth. Previously I used to live in the City centre but to be honest I found it boring and loud. I am much more happier to living in outside of the city where is quieter and charmingful.
Thanks for your response. Here are a few corrections to improve your answer:
“I’ve been living in my apartment since birth. Previously, I used to live in the city centre, but to be honest, I found it boring and loud. I am much happier living outside the city, where it’s quieter and more charming.”
Mistakes you should be aware of:
1. You don’t need to say “my birth.” You can just say, “since birth.”
2. The correct way to express your feelings would be, “I am much happier living…”
3. Be careful with your adjectives. We don’t say “charmingful,” but rather “more charming”.
Keep practicing, and you’ll continue to improve. If you want more study resources, I recommend checking out englishprotips.com.
The answer is no.
I have been living in this appartment for a year only. Before here we stayed in a small, tiny appartment with only one bedroom, a small kigchen, two small washroom. I always feel exhausted there. Now i am extremely happy here
Thanks for sharing your answer. Here are some corrections to help improve your response:
“The answer is no. I have only been living in this apartment for a year. Before here, we stayed in a tiny apartment with just one bedroom, a small kitchen, and two small washrooms. I always felt exhausted there. Now, I am extremely happy here.”
Mistakes:
1. There was a misspelling, “appartment” should be “apartment”.
2. “a small kigchen” should be “a small kitchen”.
3. Tense consistency: “I always feel exhausted there” should be “I always felt exhausted there”.
Great job overall, just pay special attention to spelling and verb tenses.
I’ve been living in my home for a better part of 20 years. Then when I got my Baccalaureate, I moved to the university’s dormatory where I spent six years with roommates from different Tunisian and Algerian regions in Manouba. It was a quite long period of time but I learned much things. I’m much happier living on my home as it is special, but also, I believe that’s mandatory to earn new experience in life.
Thanks for sharing your answer with me. You did well overall but there were a few minor errors. Here’s a corrected version of your answer:
“I’ve been living in my home for the better part of 20 years. Then, when I got my Baccalaureate, I moved to the university’s dormitory where I spent six years with roommates from different regions of Tunisia and Algeria in Manouba. It was quite a long period of time but I learned many things. I’m much happier living in my home because it’s special but also, I believe it’s important to gain new experiences in life.”
Here’s what may need a little more attention:
1. It’s “the better part of 20 years”, not “a better part of 20 years”. The first phrase is an idiomatic expression used to indicate most of something.
2. Use the correct spelling for ‘dormitory’.
3. Instead of saying “I learned much things”, you should say, “I learned many things” because ‘things’ is a countable noun.
Keep practicing and you’ll continue to improve! I recommend using englishprotips.com for more about IELTS preparation.
I have living in the capital city for almost 6 years. Before that my family and I used to live in the outskirts, where the life is calm and quite.
Thank you for sharing your answer. There are just a couple of minor errors in your response. Here’s a corrected version:
“I have been living in the capital city for almost 6 years. Before that, my family and I used to live in the outskirts, where life is calm and quiet.”
Mistakes:
1. “I have living” should be “I have been living”. When you are talking about a continuing action, you need to use the present perfect continuous tense – “I have been + verb-ing”.
2. “where the life is” should be “where life is”. When speaking or writing English, we don’t need to use the definite article ‘the’ when talking about life in general.
3. “quite” should be “quiet”. ‘Quite’ means ‘to a certain or fairly significant extent or degree’, while ‘quiet’ means ‘making little or no noise’.
Stick to these corrections and you’ll be fine. Good luck!
I’ve been living in this house for the better part of three years since my daughter was born. I find it very peaceful and relaxing to live on the outskirts, particularly being close to nature and surrounded by greenery. I used to live in the city center, where it was very noisy due to crowded areas and transportation. Therefore, living in the countryside is much more preferable for me.
Your response is wonderful and contains no grammatical errors. You extended your answer with reasons for your preference for living in the countryside over the city center, which should give you good marks for the criterion of fluency and coherence in the IELTS speaking test. Keep practicing answers like these. Great work!
I’ve been living in my apartment since I was born. I used to live in the countryside, but to be honest, I fount it boring. I’m much happier living in the city center where it’s lively.
Thank you for your answer. You did a good job, but there’s a small error that needs correcting. However, you do express yourself clearly. Here’s your corrected response:
“I’ve been living in my apartment since I was born. I used to live in the countryside, but to be honest, I found it boring. I’m much happier living in the city center where it’s lively.”
Remember, “found” is the past tense of “find”. Be careful with your spelling. Keep practicing!
I live in a relatively large apartment in a Rural area in hama_syria in a residential Neighbourhood.
I shared a flat with my parents ,there are one bedroom and a comfortable living room ,in addition to a small balcony overlooking the main street.
Your answer is good but it doesn’t directly address the question. Remember to answer the question first before giving additional information. Here’s a corrected version:
“Yes, I have lived in this home for a long time. It’s a relatively large apartment in a rural area in Hama, Syria, in a residential neighbourhood. I share the flat with my parents. We have one bedroom and a comfortable living room, in addition to a small balcony overlooking the main street.”
Mistakes to note:
1. Always capitalise names of places – ‘Rural’, ‘Neighbourhood’ and ‘Hama_Syria’ should be ‘rural’, ‘neighbourhood’ and ‘Hama, Syria’.
2. The correct tense should be ‘I share’ not ‘I shared’ as you are currently living with your parents.
3. Be careful with spacing after commas. There should be a space after each comma.
Keep practicing to improve further. Good job!
I have been living our home for best past two years of my live. I used to live the center of the city, but honest, I found it a bit exhaustive. I am much happier living I the outskirts of the city rather than the center of the city because it’s much quieter than the center of the city
Thanks for sharing your response! It’s a generally good answer except for a few minor errors. Here’s a version with corrections:
“I have been living in our home for the best two years of my life. I used to live in the center of the city, but honestly, I found it a bit exhausting. I am much happier living on the outskirts of the city rather than the center because it’s much quieter.”
So the things to notice are:
1. The use of prepositions. You should use “in” when referring to places – “living in our home”, “used to live in the center of the city”.
2. “Best past two years of my live” should have been “best two years of my life”.
3. “Exhaustive” means thorough or comprehensive, but based on your context, the right word to use would be “exhausting”.
Keep practicing!
I have been living in my apartment for the better part of 6 months of my life. I used to rent an apartment in the city centre,but to be honest, I found it noisy and expensive. I’m much happier living on the east side of the city where it’s comfortable and cosy. The main thing it’s our own an apartment.
Thank you for your response. There’s only one major issue that needs correcting here. Here’s the corrected version:
“I have been living in my apartment for the better part of 6 months. I used to rent an apartment in the city centre, but to be honest, I found it noisy and expensive. I’m much happier living on the east side of the city where it’s comfortable and cosy. The main thing is that it’s our own apartment.”
Your mistake was the use of ‘it’s our own an apartment’. The corrected phrase is ‘it’s our own apartment’. Keep practicing and we will work on these small errors.
I have been living here since i was born.
Hi there! Your answer is almost perfect, just one little correction. English grammar rules require us to capitalize the first letter of ‘I’ when it’s used as a subject, even in contractions. Here’s the corrected version:
“I have been living here since I was born.”
Keep practicing! You’re doing really well.
I’ve been living on my apartment since 2017.Previously i used to live on the countryside but to be honest i found it boring.I’.m much more happier living in the city centre where its lively.
Thanks for your answer. Here’re a few corrections to make it sound better:
“I’ve been living in my apartment since 2017. Previously, I used to live in the countryside, but to be honest, I found it boring. I’m much happier living in the city centre where it’s lively.”
1. Use “in” instead of “on” when talking about living in an apartment or house.
2. Don’t forget to put a space after punctuation marks like commas and full stops.
3. When saying “it’s”, make sure there’s an apostrophe between “it” and “s” to denote “it is”.
Keep practicing! You’re doing well.
I have been living in my apartment for two years. I used to live in city centre, but I found it very expensive and loud. Now I am much happier than before living outskirts of city.
Your response is mostly correct, but there are a couple of minor changes that can make it clearer. Here’s the corrected version: “I’ve been living in my apartment for two years. I used to live in the city centre, but I found it very expensive and loud. Now, I’m much happier living on the outskirts of the city than before.”
1. You missed the definite article ‘the’ before ‘city centre’.
2. With place prepositions, ‘on’ the outskirts is the correct usage. ‘Outskirts of city’ would be better as ‘on the outskirts of the city’.
3. ‘Now, I’m much happier living on the outskirts of the city than before.’ The phrase ‘than before’ will sound better after mentioning the changed part for comparison. Keep practicing, and you’ll continue to improve!

Well, I’ve been living in my apartment for several years. In fact, I started living here when I moved to Phnom Penh in 2013. It was when I started my life in the city. To be honest, I used to find life in the city quite difficult to adapt. Now I’m a lot more accustomed to the city life. I imagine I’d be much happier living in a quieter place surrounded by nature.
I can’t see any mistakes in your answer. You have effectively answered the question, provided sufficient detail, and expressed your feelings about your living situation.

Thanks for your answer. Here are some corrections:
“Well, I have been living in my apartment for the better part of 3 years. I used to live in the city center but, to be honest, I found it a bit too hustle and bustle. I much prefer living in the countryside where it’s quieter and more comfortable.”
Errors:
1. Space before commas: There should be no space before a comma.
2. “perfer” should be “prefer”.
3. “quaiter” should be “quieter”.
Keep practicing!
I’ve been living in my apartment for about 8 years. I started living in this apartment when I moved to Phnom Penh to study at university. I used to lived in the countryside, to be honest, I sometimes think of residing in a much quieter place surrounded by nature. But for the sake of my career, I have to continue living in the city.
Your response is mostly good, just a slight issue with tense usage. Here’s the corrected version:
“I’ve been living in my apartment for about 8 years. I started living in this apartment when I moved to Phnom Penh to study at university. I used to live in the countryside, to be honest, I sometimes think of residing in a much quieter place surrounded by nature. But for the sake of my career, I have to continue living in the city.”
Remember, for your past habits, use ‘used to + base form of verb’. Therefore, it should be ‘I used to live’ instead of ‘I used to lived’.
Got it! Thanks.
It seems like there was a little confusion there. You’ve expressed gratitude, possibly for a previous feedback I provided – for that, you’re welcome! However, this wasn’t a response to the IELTS question I sent, which was, “Have you lived in this home for a long time?”. Would you like to try answering the question? Good luck with your studies!
I’ve been living in my home for about six months now. I used to live in the North West Region of Cameroon specifically in Bambili but honestly my neighbours were a little bit too loud especially when it came to playing music. I’m much happier where I currently stay because my neighbours aren’t loud and my environment is much calm
Your response is very clear, and I understood your point well. However, there are a few minor corrections I’d suggest for better English grammar and flow.
Corrected response: “I’ve been living in my current home for about six months now. I used to live in the North West Region of Cameroon, specifically in Bambili, but honestly, my neighbours were a little too loud, especially when it came to playing music. I’m much happier where I am now, because my neighbours aren’t loud and my environment is much calmer.”
1. You said ‘where I currently stay’, which is literal translation. ‘Where I am now’ is more natural in English.
2. In the ending part where you wrote ‘is much calm’, you should use the adjective form combined with ‘much’, which makes it ‘much calmer’.
Keep practicing and you’ll see improvement!
We’ve been living here since 2022 I think, we lived in a rented apartment down on the street and then change the location. That part of the neighbourhood is more quiteir than the other before and the other benefit of this place is that not located to the boulevard side.
Thanks for your response! There are a few errors in your answer. Here’s a corrected version:
“We’ve been living here since 2022, I think. We used to live in a rented apartment down the street and then we changed location. This part of the neighborhood is quieter than where we lived before and another benefit of this place is that it’s not located on the boulevard side.”
Mistakes to notice:
1. “and then change the location” should be “and then we changed location”.
2. “quiteir” is not a word. The correct word is “quieter”.
3. “not located to the boulevard side” should be “it’s not located on the boulevard side”.
I have lived in my parents’ house for a better part of 44 years. I live in a city, I felt it is convenient because it is near the schools, malls, government offices, market and, churches. It is an hour drive to my workplace.
Your answer is great, but there’s a minor error that needs correcting. Here’s the corrected version:
“I’ve lived in my parents’ house for the better part of 44 years. I live in a city, and I feel it’s convenient because it’s near schools, malls, government offices, the market and churches. It’s about an hour’s drive to my workplace.”
1) Instead of “a better part of 44 years”, it’s more common to say “the better part of 44 years”.
2) You should use “and” before “I feel it’s convenient” to connect the two sentences.
3) Before “an hour drive”, you should use “about” and remember “drive” should be in the possessive form “hour’s drive”.
Keep up the good work with your IELTS preparation! And whenever you need, you should check englishprotips.com for more tips and help.
I’ve been living in this house for almost a year. I used to live with my two kids but to be honest, I prefer to live with them. We have our privacy and the kids are much happier.
Thank you for your response. There is a slight confusion in your answer which I think could be an inadvertent mistake. Please find corrected version;
“I’ve been living in this house for almost a year. I used to live alone, but to be honest, I prefer living with my two kids. We have our privacy and the kids are much happier.”
The main error was the contradictory statement about living with your kids. It sounded like you prefer to live with your kids and at the same time you already were. It’s clarified in the corrected answer. Keep practicing!
I have been living in my condo for 2 years, I used to live in townhouse before 2 years, but to be honest, I found it a bit of expensive and noisy. I am much happier living in the condo, it is quieter place
Your response is great! However, there’s a small mistake. Instead of saying “before 2 years,” we say “for the last 2 years” or “2 years ago.” Here is how I would correct your sentence:
“I have been living in my condo for 2 years. I used to live in a townhouse for 2 years, but to be honest, I found it a bit expensive and noisy. I am much happier living in the condo, it is a quieter place.”
Just a reminder, make sure to use ‘a’ or ‘the’ before nouns. It makes your speaking more fluent and accurate. Keep practicing, you’re doing well!
I’ve been living in my house for the better part of three years . I used to live in the city center, right in the heart of the market. but to be honest , I found it a bit loud and busy. The space in front of my house is a precious place to walk and spend time but my preference is still for the city center.
Your answer is generally great, but there’s just a minor error at the end.
Here is the corrected version: “I’ve been living in my house for the better part of three years. I used to live in the city center, right in the heart of the market. But to be honest, I found it a bit loud and busy. The space in front of my house is a precious place to walk and spend time, but my preference is still for the city center.”
The mistake you made was at the end of your answer where you missed a comma after the word “time”. This is needed as you’re linking two independent clauses. Keep up the good work!
I’ve been living in my apartment for the better part of three years. I used to live on the outskirts of my city, but to be honest, I found it a bit boring and quiet. I’m much happier living in the centre of my city where it’s bright and cheerful.
Your answer is well-structured and clear. I can’t see any major mistakes in your response. It flows well and it sounds natural, just like spoken English should be. Well done!
I’ve been living in my house for the better part of three decades. I live on the outskirts of the city where the air is fresh and the atmostphere is pretty quite, but to be honest, I found it a bit boring and less entertaining. I’m much prefer living in the city center if I have a chance.
Overall, your response is well-structured and demonstrates a good level of English. However, there are a few minor mistakes that need correction. Below is your corrected answer:
“I’ve been living in my house for the better part of three decades. I live on the outskirts of the city where the air is fresh and the atmosphere is pretty quiet, but to be honest, I find it a bit boring and less entertaining. I would much prefer living in the city center if I had the chance.”
1. The correct spelling of ‘”atmostphere” is “atmosphere”.
2. Instead of “quite”, you should say “quiet”.
3. The correct phrase should be “I find” instead of “I found”.
4. The correct phrase is “I would much prefer” instead of “I’m much prefer”.
Keep practicing and good luck with your preparation. I recommend checking out englishprotips.com for your IELTS preparation!
I’ve been living in my house for the better part of 5 years. I used to live in the city center, but to be honest after being a mother, have a baby I found it a bit noisy, dirty, stressful and expensive. I am much happier living on the shore of the Caspian sea where it’s quieter, clean, fresh air.
Thanks for your answer. Just a few corrections are needed.
“I’ve been living in my house for the better part of 5 years. I used to live in the city center, but to be honest, after becoming a mother and having a baby, I found it a bit noisy, dirty, stressful, and expensive. I am much happier living on the shore of the Caspian sea, where it’s quieter, cleaner, and the air is fresher.”
Remember to use conjunctions like ‘and’ to link related ideas and ensure all your verbs align – instead of ‘have a baby’, it is better to say ‘having a baby’. You also need to ensure your adjectives match the form of the nouns they describe – so ‘cleaner’ better describes ‘it’ than ‘clean’, and ‘fresher’ is the right word to describe ‘air’. Keep practicing!
I have been living in my parent’s house since birth. The vicinity is good since it is near the school, hospital, supermarkets and malls. I chose to stay there even if I am already married because the place is peaceful and safe for my son. And its just an hour drive for my work.
Thank you for your response. You’ve made only a minor mistake in possessive form. Here’s your corrected version:
“I have been living in my parents’ house since birth. The vicinity is good since it is near the school, hospital, supermarkets, and malls. I chose to stay there even if I am already married because the place is peaceful and safe for my son. And it’s just an hour drive to my work.”
1) The possessive form for parents is “parents'”, not “parent’s” because you’re referring to both parents.
2) An Oxford comma (i.e., the comma before the ‘and’) when listing items in a sentence garners accuracy and clarity.
3) The word “for” is more appropriate than the word “to” before “my work”.
Keep up with your practice and good luck!
I’ve been living in my appointment for the better part of five years. I use to live in the city centre, but to be honest; I found it a bit more congested, noisy and much more expensive. I’m much happier living in the centre of the city where there are more of social amenities.
Thanks for sharing your answer with me. Here are a few amendments that would improve your response:
“I’ve been living in my apartment for the better part of five years. I used to live in the city centre, but to be honest, I found it a bit too congested, noisy, and expensive. I’m much happier now living outside the city centre where there are more social amenities.”
Here’s a summary of the mistakes:
1. “appointment” should be “apartment”.
2. “I use to” should be “I used to”.
3. The phrase “more of social amenities” should be “more social amenities”.
Keep up the good work!
I’ve been living in this home for a year for the better part of one year. I used to live in the city center where the sky-train station is nearby, but to be honest, I found it a bit noisy and expensive. I’m much prefer living on the outskirts of the city once I retired.
Your response is almost perfect, there are just minor errors that needed corrections. Here’s a revised version of your answer:
“I’ve been living in this home for the better part of a year. I used to live in the city center where there was a sky-train station nearby, but to be honest, I found it a bit noisy and expensive. I much prefer living on the outskirts of the city since I retired.”
Mistakes:
1. The phrase “for a year for the better part of one year” is redundant. Using “for the better part of a year” is enough.
2. Instead of “is nearby”, use “was nearby” for past tense.
3. The contraction “I’m” needs to be replaced with “I”. You’re using it to express preference, not a current action or state.
Sammy, May I change my last sentence to this, “I much preferred living on the outskirts of the city for its quiet and peaceful environment.
Your revised sentence is absolutely fine. Good job! Here’s the corrected version of your sentence:
“Sammy, may I change my last sentence to this, “I much prefer living on the outskirts of the city for its quiet and peaceful environment.”?”
Keep in mind that we use “prefer” instead of “preferred” because you’re talking about your current preference. Also, don’t forget to put a space after the commas and full stops.
I’ve been living in my own apartment for the better part of three years. I once lived on the outskirts of Tirana, but I didn’t like it because the housing conditions weren’t good and was too far from my university. Now I live in a neighbourhood in which I feel very comfortable.
Your answer is almost perfect, but there is just a small correction needed. Here’s the revised version:
“I’ve been living in my own apartment for the better part of three years. I once lived on the outskirts of Tirana, but I didn’t like it because the housing conditions weren’t good and it was too far from my university. Now I live in a neighbourhood in which I feel very comfortable.”
You just missed the word ‘it’ in your sentence “…and was too far from my university.” It should have been “…and it was too far from my university.” Other than that, good job!
Yes, I have lived in this house since I was born. I have lots of emotions and sentimental value attached to it.
I can’t see any mistakes in your answer. You’ve done a fantastic job articulating your thoughts and keeping your response concise and coherent. Carry on with the good work!
I have been live in my apartment for the better part of 2 years. I used to live in a city center, I found it a bit loud and expensive. Also I struggle with traffic during commute. I happier living in outskirts of Baku, where it is quieter.
Thanks for your answer. Here is a corrected version:
“I have been living in my apartment for the better part of 2 years. I used to live in a city center, but I found it a bit loud and expensive. Also, I struggled with traffic during my commute. I’m happier living on the outskirts of Baku, where it is quieter.”
Here are the errors in your response:
1. It should be “I have been living” instead of “I have been live”.
2. “Also I struggle with traffic during commute.” should be “Also, I struggled with traffic during my commute.”
3. “I happier living in outskirts of Baku, where it is quieter.” should be “I’m happier living on the outskirts of Baku, where it is quieter.”
Keep going, you’re doing well!
I have been living in company complex for the better part of five years. I used to live with my parents in our house. But once I started to work, I have been moving out as well.
Your answer is mostly correct. It is understandable and precise. However, to make it sound more natural, here’s an improved version:
“I’ve been living in my company’s complex for nearly five years. I previously lived with my parents in our home, but after I started working, I moved out.”
Mistake:
1. Use “my company’s complex” instead of “company complex” to specify the company.
2. The phrasing “I have been moving out” is a bit confusing. “I moved out” makes it clear that the move was a single event in the past and not an ongoing process.
Keep it up and continue practicing!
I have been living in my house since April 2022. I used to live in a flat in the city centre but found it far from my office. I am much happier living on the city’s outskirts, where it is quieter.
Your answer is good overall, but there’s a very minor error in your response. Instead of saying “found it far from my office,” it’s generally more natural in English to say “found it too far from my office.” Here’s your corrected sentence:
“I have been living in my house since April 2022. I used to live in a flat in the city centre but found it too far from my office. I am much happier living on the city’s outskirts, where it is quieter.”
Well done overall!
I have been living in my apartment for the better part of a year. I used to live in the city center in my home country, but when I came to Oman, I realized how noisy the city center was. So, I am much happier living on the outskirts of the city, where it’s very tranquil.
Your answer is excellent and I can’t see any mistakes. You’ve provided relevant details and your tenses are used correctly. Well done!
I‘ve lived in that house for the better part of two years. I used to live in a city back home, but to be honest , I found it a bit noisy and expensive at the same time.I’ m much happier living in the countryside.
Your response is quite good, but there is a minor error in the usage of pronouns. Here is the corrected version:
“I’ve lived in this house for the better part of two years. I used to live in a city back home, but to be honest, I found it a bit noisy and expensive at the same time. I’m much happier living in the countryside.”
So, the mistake was:
The question was about the house you are currently living in. Therefore, you should refer to your current house as ‘this house’ not ‘that house’.
Good job otherwise! Keep practicing.
Yes , I have been living here for the past 4years . Before now I used to live in the city centre which is more populated and noisy and a bit on the high side in terms of standard of living . I am happy to be living on the outskirt now which is less populated and more quiet
Your response is quite good, but there are a few adjustments you could make for a better answer. Here is a revised version:
“Yes, I’ve been living here for the past four years. Before that, I used to live in the city centre, which was more populated, noisy, and a bit expensive in terms of the standard of living. I’m happy to be living on the outskirts now, which is less populated and quieter.”
Mistake(s) in your response:
– You need to say “four years,” not “4years.”
– You should use the term “expensive” instead of “on the high side” when referring to the cost of living.
– The term “outskirts” is more appropriate than “outskirt.”
Keep practicing and you’ll continue to get better at this!
I’ve been living in this flat for the better part of one and half years. Compared to the previous one. Yes. I tend to live in the same place for quite a long time, because I find moving is quite troublesome. So if there is no any thing I’ll complain about, then I’ll rather stay at.
Thank you for sharing your response. You’ve got the main idea down, but there’s a bit of confusion in the way some parts are expressed. Here’s a revised version:
“I’ve been living in this flat for the better part of one and a half years. Compared to the previous one, yes, I tend to live in the same place for quite a long time. I find moving to be quite troublesome. So, unless there’s something to complain about, I’d rather stay put.”
Mistakes to keep in mind:
1. Make sure to use complete sentences. “Compared to the previous one. Yes.” is incomplete and a bit confusing.
2. “no any thing” should be “nothing” or “not anything”.
3. In the last part, I used the phrase “I’d rather stay put” to express your preference for staying in one place. “Stay at” by itself is incomplete and incorrect.
Keep practicing, you’re making good progress!
I have been living in my house for 10 years or i can say i lived my entire childhood in this house so i i have a soft corner for this house. My mother used to live in the city centre but she found a bit loud and expensive. Moreover in city the people are too busy so they didn’t have the time to communicate with their neighbors. But here in my town we have a great communication with our neighbors. So i’m much happier living in my house.
Your answer is great, with a few minor errors. Here’s the corrected version:
“I’ve been living in my house for 10 years. You could even say I spent my entire childhood in this house so I have a soft spot for it. My mother used to live in the city centre, but she found it a bit loud and expensive. Moreover, the people in the city were too busy to have time to communicate with their neighbours. But here in my town, we have great communication with our neighbours, which is why I’m much happier living in my house.”
Here are the mistakes that were corrected:
1. “a soft corner” to “a soft spot”, which is a more common expression in English to indicate emotional fondness.
2. “she found a bit loud” to “she found it a bit loud”, you missed out on the pronoun ‘it’ indicating the city centre.
3. Double usage of ‘i’ – “so i i have a soft corner”. Removed the extra ‘i’.
Keep practicing and remember to keep your sentences clear and coherent. Good luck with your studies!
I live in a spacious house which was build my late grandfather. It is situated in on the outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh. I stay at home with my parents and siblings. In my house there are 4 bedrooms, 1 living room attach with drawing room and a kitchen. Moreover most favorite part of my house is there is a small balcony overlooking the main street where i spend most of the time.
Thanks for sharing your answer! You’ve done a great job but there are a few minor errors that should be fixed. Here is your corrected response:
“I live in a spacious house which was built by my late grandfather. It’s situated on the outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh. I live at home with my parents and siblings. In my house, there are 4 bedrooms, 1 living room attached to the drawing room, and a kitchen. Moreover, the most favorite part of my house is the small balcony overlooking the main street, where I spend most of my time.”
Mistakes to work on:
1. Make sure to use the past participle “built” instead of “build” when talking about something that has already been constructed.
2. When discussing the features of your house, use the word “attached” instead of “attach” to properly describe the connection between the living room and drawing room.
3. Don’t forget to use “the” in “the most favorite part of my house”. This makes sure your sentence is grammatically correct.
Keep practicing! You’re doing well.
Actually no, I have been living in this house since I got married. I used to live alone in the city center. It was annoying and exhausting due to traffic congestion in Istanbul, especially in the rush hour. After I moved to the countryside, I appreciate a larger house and a quieter environment.
Your response is good and generally free of mistakes. However, I would suggest a minor change as follows:
“Actually no, I’ve been living in this house since I got married. I used to live alone in the city center. It was annoying and exhausting because of the traffic congestion in Istanbul, especially during rush hour. Since moving to the countryside, I’ve come to appreciate having a larger house and a quieter environment.”
Remember, “due to” is a bit more formal and “because of” would sound more natural in spoken English. Also, using “‘ve” as a contraction of “have” makes the speech sound a bit more natural and relaxed. Amazing job! Keep practicing!
I used to live in a single room appartement , but soon I felt the need for a more spacious appartement . It was then , that i moved to a better accommodation , with two big bedrooms and a hall . Also I find people around there quite friendly , so don’t feel left out when there is a community event.
I used to live in a single-room apartment, but soon I felt the need for a more spacious apartment. It was then that I moved to a better accommodation, with two big bedrooms and a hall. Also, I find people around there quite friendly, so I don’t feel left out when there is a community event.
Overall, your response is good! Just pay attention to the correct spelling of “apartment” and “apartment.” Also, remember to use “don’t” instead of “so don’t” for smoother sentence flow. Keep up the good work!
I have moved to my current house October last year and it was a godsend because the environment is fantastic, my neighborhood is friendly and it is close to the city centre, so I can easily get to the facilities such as supermarkets, hospital and the means of transportation and it has improved my daily routine.
I have moved to my current house **in** October **of** last year and it was a godsend because the environment is fantastic, my neighborhood is friendly, and it is close to the city centre, so I can easily get to the facilities, such as supermarkets, hospital, and **public transportation**, **which** has improved my daily routine.
Overall, your answer is clear and provides relevant details. Just remember to use the preposition “in” before specifying a month and “public transportation” instead of “means of transportation.” Great job!
I ‘ve been living in my own house for the better part of 1 year. I used to live with my mother in the city center, however, I was relocated due to new work assignment. I much prefer living with my mom so that I will be able to look after her health.

“I ‘ve been living in my own house for the better part of 1 year.”
Correction: “I’ve been living in my own house for most of the past year.”
“I much prefer living with my mom so that I will be able to look after her health.”
Correction: “I much prefer living with my mom, so I can look after her health.”
Keep up the good work!

I have been living in my home since I was born. I used to live in the center of the city. This house was built by my grandpa in 1980, so it is 45 years old. The one thing in my home that I like the most, more than anything else, is the garden. I have planted many kinds of flowers, and their fragrance is so good.
Overall, your answer is quite good! Just remember to use “built” instead of “made” when talking about constructing a house. Also, be sure to use appropriate punctuation and spacing for clarity. Great job!
I have been living in my house from the begining of my birthday tell now. It is located in the center of the city and it near to all transportation and malls. But the city is too crowded and loudy and highly expensive
I can see a few errors in your response. Here is a corrected version: “I have been living in my house since my birthday until now. It is located in the center of the city and is near all transportation and malls. However, the city is too crowded, loud, and highly expensive.”
I`ve been living in my house for 3 years. I used to live in an appartment in the city centre but to be honest I found it to loud and expensive, so I decided to move out. I´ m much happier living on the outskirts of the city, where is quieter.
Your answer is quite good! Just a few corrections:
“I`ve been living in my house for 3 years.”
– The contraction “I`ve” should be “I’ve” (short for “I have”).
– The preposition “in” is missing after “I’ve been living.” So the correct version is: “I’ve been living in my house for 3 years.”
“I used to live in an appartment in the city centre but to be honest I found it to loud and expensive, so I decided to move out.”
– The word “appartment” should be spelled as “apartment.”
– The preposition “to” should be “too” before “loud” to indicate an excessive amount of noise.
– Instead of “move out,” you might want to use “move out” as it could imply moving away permanently. So you can say: “so I decided to move out.”
“I´ m much happier living on the outskirts of the city, where is quieter.”
– The contraction “I´ m” should be “I’m” (short for “I am”).
– The word “is” after “where” should be removed. So the correct version is: “I’m much happier living on the outskirts of the city, where it’s quieter.”
Keep up the good work!
Is my answer relevant when I mentioned a date when I entered to this apartment?
Your answer is almost correct. Here is a slightly improved version: “Is my answer relevant if I mentioned the date when I moved into this apartment?”.
You are welcome! Let me know if you have any more questions. Good luck with your studies!

Yes, I have. I have been living in this apartment for 8 years because I remember that I firstly came to this home on August 28, 2017.
Corrections:
– Change “i” to “I” (always capitalize “I” when referring to oneself)
– Change “come” to “came”
– Rearrange the date to say “August 28, 2017” for correct order
Overall, good job with your answer!
Does my answer in relevant?
Your response has a few errors. The correct version should be: “Is my answer relevant?” Remember to use the correct form of the verb “be” in questions. Good job with the rest of your response!
No, I’ve moved this flat last year February. So it just has been a year. I used to live in a house before my husband transferred to other country. Just I and my daugher are staying here in Budapest, so we moved to a smaller flat.
This is a good response, but there are a few mistakes that can be corrected:
“No, I moved to this flat last February, so it has only been a year. I used to live in a house before my husband was transferred to another country. Now, it’s just my daughter and me staying here in Budapest, so we moved to a smaller flat.”
Overall, your answer has good clarity and provides relevant information. Well done!

I’ e been living in my house since i got married.I used to live a bit far from the city center, to be honest,i found it a fit hard to commute to my work place and exhausting.However, i’mm much happier living on the outskirts of the city where it’s much quieter and safe.
“I’ve been living in my house since I got married. I used to live a bit far from the city center. To be honest, I found it a bit hard to commute to my workplace and it was exhausting. However, I’m much happier living on the outskirts of the city where it’s much quieter and safer.”
There are a few mistakes in your answer:
1. The contraction “I’ve” (I have) is used correctly, but it seems you forgot the ‘ in “I’m much happier.”

I’ve been living in the apartment since I moved to Egypt to pursue my academic career, and that would be precisely 3 years ago. The environment is different from where I used to live, but I gradually adapted to these changes.

I have been living in this house since last year. I used to live in another villa which was rented by my husband’s company. But when the company director came back to Fiji last year, we moved to this house. I much prefer living in this house because it’s much quieter and more beautiful.
Your response is great overall! However, I have found a few mistakes in your answer. Here is the corrected version:

I’ve been living in my house for the better part of two years. I used to live on the west side of the city, but to be honest, I found it noisy and exhausting commuting everyday. I’m much happier living on the east side of the city, where it’s quieter and closer to work.
Your answer is well-structured and provides relevant information to the question. However, I noticed a couple of mistakes:
1. The correct preposition is “in” when referring to the location in the city, so it should be “in the west side of the city”.
2. In the sentence “I’m much happier living on the east side of the city, where it’s quieter and closer to work.”, it would be better to use “because” instead of a comma to make the connection between being happier and living on the east side clearer.
Here’s a corrected version of your answer: “I have been living in my house for the better part of two years. I used to live in the west side of the city, but to be honest, I found it noisy and exhausting commuting every day. I’m much happier living on the east side of the city because it’s quieter and closer to work.”
I’ve been living in this house for the better part of five years. I used to rent an apartment in the city centre, but frankly I found it a bit too exhausting to be going up and down the stairway. This apartment had an elevator that would constantly breakdown. I am much happier living in a house because I am passionate about gardening, and have already planted some vegetables and a rose garden.
Your answer is quite good! However, there are a few mistakes that I can point out to help you improve:
1. Instead of saying “because I am passionate about gardening, and have already planted some vegetables and a rose garden.”, you could say “because I am passionate about gardening and have already planted some vegetables and a rose garden.”

I’ve been here since I was born and I found it quiet and peaceful. But I would move to another area because sometimes I have to face congestion in it and a lack of facilities for pedestrians, for playgrounds and cyclists.
Here is a corrected version of your answer: “I’ve been here since I was born. I find it quiet and peaceful. However, I would like to move to another area because sometimes I have to face terrible congestion and there is a real lack of facilities for pedestrians. For example, I wish there were more playgrounds and cycle lanes.”
I have been living in this flat for the better part of 9 months. I used to live in the countryside with some friends, but to be honest, I found it too far from everywhere since we needed to take the car simply to buy some bread. I’d say it is a kind of exhausting too. I much prefer living in the city centre where I can go anywhere within 5 minutes.
Great response! Here are a couple of corrections to make it even better:
