Sample answer

"I'm from Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. It's a vibrant, fast-growing city of around twenty million people, famous for its rich history and incredible street food. What I love most is the energy — there's always something happening. It has changed dramatically in the last decade with new metro lines and skyscrapers, though traffic remains a real challenge."
