Most frequently asked question in IELTs module speaking part 2.

 I'm part 2 the examiner will give you a card which has a topic task for you to talk about. The topic will be about something in your life, past or present. There will also be some brief task instructions on the card. You will have one minute to think about the topic and make some brief notes. The examiner will give you a pen and paper to make these noted. After your 1 minute preparation, the examiner will ask you to speak for between 1 and 2 minutes on the topic, when you finish the examiner will ask 1 or 2 short questions about what you have said.

Here are two different examples of a part 2 topic task card:

Describe a holiday or trip that you remember well 

Say when and where this was 

What you did 

Who you went there with 

And say why you remember this holiday or trip so well





Describe a time when you entered a race or competition 

Say when and where this was

What the race or competition involved

What happened at the end of it

And say how you felt about this at the time



The above examples are about something in your past life. It is also possible that the topic will be about something in your present life now. Here are two examples about your present life 

Describe a building or a place you like to visit regularly.

Say what this building or place is.

Where it is.

What you do when you go there.

And say why you visit it regularly.



In the test, check that you understand whether the task instructions are about past or present situation. You will lose marks if you confuse the past and present.

Note that these part 2 topic tasks are always general, simple subject about your life past or present. The topic will never ask about such subjects as your politics, religion or sensitive aspects of your life such as family problems. If for some reason you find the topic embarrassing, you can say so and ask for another topic, saying for example  "I am sorry", I find it awkward to talk about my childhood. Could I please have different topic? The examiner will cooperate  with you if this seems really necessary.
