IELTS Speaking Task 2

Describe a historical building in your area.

You should say:

where it is
how it looks like
what people do there
how you felt about this building.

If you have ever visited Ho Chi Minh City, there is a place that you must go to because it is one of the most appealing ancient buildings in the city. The building is called the People’s Committee Office of Ho Chi Minh City, or City Hall in short, which is located in District 1, right at the beginning of Nguyen Hue walking street, so you definitely cannot miss it.

Looking from far away, it is a huge 2-storey building that is mostly constructed from concrete and bricks. The square shape of the committee is covered with an orange tile roof, which is a distinctive style of the 19^th-century architecture. The most beautiful time of the day is at night when all the bulbs from the pavement are shining onto the walls. On some special occasions, there are light shows which transform the façade of the building into different colourful digital pictures. Although it is almost a hundred years old, the structure still appears perfectly intact thanks to the government’s preservation throughout the years.

This elegant building is not open to the public, but tourists can take photographs outside and many people choose to do this at night when the building and its grounds are lit up.

This place has been my favourite photography spot for many years. Every time I come here, I always feel nostalgic and recall a lot of good memories with my friends and family.
