IELTS SPEAKING PART 2

Example 1

I’d like to describe my English teacher from school... Miss Lan Anh...this was a few
years ago now and she was my teacher at a time when I was getting a little bored
with being at school...unlike some of the other teachers Miss Lan Anh never lost
her temper... she was very calm and easy-going...she was also very broad-
minded....we were able to ask her questions about lots of subjects that some other
teachers would refuse to discuss which made us respect her even more...she had a
great sense of humour too...she’d laugh at our jokes as wall as making us laugh...
and she would also bend over backwards to help us with our work...she always put
us first and often stayed around at the end of class to talk with anyone who need
help...apparently she was highly respect within her field but you would never know
as she was the type that hide her light under a bushel... she was very modest and
self-effacing...so yes...Miss Lan Anh was a teacher I have fond memories of

E (Examiner): Is it important to dress well whenever we go out?
Anna: It depends. If you go on an important date, you should get done up, because it
shows that you respect the people who you go out with. But when you hang out with your
mate, you can wear casual clothes what makes you comfortable
E (Examiner): Which personality do you think we most want to pass on to our
children?
Anna: I think it would be honesty, because this is essential in every situation. For example,
honesty is the foundation of a good friendship. If you are dishonest, you cannot be
trustworthy. Also children should be self-assured and self-confident, which could help
them a lot in their lives
