IELTS Speaking Part-2 Your hometown

Describe your hometown

• Describe the place

• What is special about it?

• Compare it to other cities in the world?


My hometown is Dhaka, the bustling capital of Bangladesh, and it holds a special place in my heart. Born and raised here, I have a deep connection to this vibrant city and envision spending the rest of my life in this dynamic environment.

Dhaka is a sprawling metropolis renowned for its wide avenues and lush greenery. It serves as the epicenter of Bangladesh’s educational landscape, boasting numerous prestigious institutions that attract students from across the country. The city’s historical significance is equally impressive, having been a major hub during the Mughal era. Its rich cultural heritage is on full display through its numerous gardens, historical landmarks, and museums. One of Dhaka's standout features is its diverse culinary scene; from street food stalls to upscale restaurants, the city offers a tantalizing array of gastronomic delights that reflect the country’s vibrant food culture.

Comparing Dhaka to other global cities, such as Dubai, is like contrasting apples and oranges. While Dubai is celebrated for its modernity and architectural marvels, with its glittering skyline and cutting-edge infrastructure, Dhaka’s charm lies in its unique blend of historical depth and local vibrancy. For instance, Dubai’s landscapes are dominated by skyscrapers and deserts, while Dhaka is enveloped in a canopy of greenery, offering a more traditional and organic feel. Despite Dubai’s allure with its luxury and state-of-the-art amenities, I find myself drawn back to Dhaka’s familiar rhythms and cultural essence. Beauty, after all, is subjective, and to me, Dhaka’s authentic and lively atmosphere outweighs the glossy appeal of other metropolises.
