If the topic is 'cities', the examiner could ask:
1.
How is life different in cities compared to rural areas?
2.
How do you think life in big cities could be made easier?
3.
What do you think cities will be like in 50 years time?
In my answers below I've underlined a few 'markers' that show comparisons,
opinions and future predictions.
1.
Firstly, the cost of living in cities is much higher.
Housing is much more
expensive in cities compared to rural areas; everything costs more. I
think life in cities is more difficult.
There are more people, so there's
more competition for jobs. Life is a lot slower in rural areas, everyone
knows each other and there's a sense of community. I don't
think rural
areas experience the social problems that you find in cities,
like crime
and homelessness.
2.
In my opinion cities need to be well-planned. Good public transport can
definitely make life easier because there are
so many people and it can
be really stressful just to move around. Public areas like parks are also
important because
people need space to relax, and I think cities should
be made into healthier places to live and work.
3.
I imagine cities will be less polluted because we'll have
electric cars and
better public transport. More people might work from home so maybe
cities won't be so busy. But I think there will
probably still be problems
because more and more people are migrating to cities. So I'm not so
optimistic
about issues like crime, homelessness and unemployment.
