Speaking · Part 2

B2

Describe a memorable event in your life.

You should say:

  • • what happened
  • • when it was
  • • who you were with
  • • and why this event affected you
Card 1 of 50

Preparation

1:00

One minute of notes, then two minutes of speaking without stopping — exactly like the exam.

Band 6 and Band 8 model answers are in the app

Every card ships with two annotated answers and notes across the four criteria, so the gap between a 6 and an 8 is visible rather than described.

Frequently asked questions

How long is Part 2 in the real exam?
The examiner hands you a card and one minute to prepare, then you speak for one to two minutes. The timer here reproduces that shape.
Can I take notes while preparing?
Yes. The exam gives you paper and a pencil, and almost everyone spends that minute on short notes against each bullet.
Where can I hear what a strong answer sounds like?
Band 6 and Band 8 model answers with examiner notes on all four criteria are in the app: comparing two answers to the same card shows the difference better than any rule.
