In the IELTS Speaking Part 2, you need to speak at length on a topic that is related to your own personal experience. You should aim to speak for 2 minutes.
The IELTS examiner will give you the topic. It will be written on a topic card. You will then have one minute to think about what to say. You should write down some notes or a mind map to help you keep talking.
