Get access to 97+ Part 2 topics given between January and November 2019. Click here. 

In this lesson, you are going to read a Part 2 topic and a sample answer to give you an idea how to organise your talk on this specific subject. 

Spend 1 minute to plan so that you stay on the subject while talking. 


Describe an area of your country that is well known for its natural beauty. (Heading) 

You should say: 
  • where this area is (Point 1) 
  • what people can see and do there (Point 2) 
  • how you can get there (Point 3) 
and explain why this area is considered to be so beautiful. (Point 4) 


Tips: 
  • Make brief notes about the heading “Natural beauty” and each of the 4 points. 
  • Just write a few words to help you remember what to say on each point. 
  • Your notes will help you organise your ideas and prepare your mind for speaking. 
  • Speak for roughly 30 seconds on each of the 4 points you have made notes about. 
  • You need to keep an eye contact with the examiner while speaking, and only occasionally look at your notes. 
​
Notes: 

Natural beauty

Where: 
  • Jiuzhaigou 
  • Sichuan Province 

What to do and see: 
  • lakes and waterfalls 
  • take photos 

How to get there: 
  • buy a ticket 
  • walk or take a bus 

Why it is beautiful: 
  • scenery 
  • colourful foliage, crystal water 
​

I'm going to talk about an amazing place in my country called Jiuzhaigou*. It's a nature reserve and national park, located in the northern part of Sichuan Province. It is considered one of the most beautiful parks on Earth. I know that it has been inscribed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. This place is complete with forest, waterfalls and lakes. It's made up of three valleys. 

Jiuzhaigou is the top tourist destination in Sichuan Province. To visit the park, you first need to buy a ticket, which is a bit over $30. Well, it's a bit expensive, but I think it's definitely worth it. 

People can walk or take a bus if they don't like walking for hours. There are wooden walkways that line the path to the lakes and waterfalls. Tourists can get as close to nature as possible. As you keep walking, you see more and more beautiful lakes and rivers. Even though the distance seems long, there are many places along the way where you can rest and take pictures. 

I think Jiuzhaigou is a natural wonder with beautiful scenery. What's interesting is that the water falling from a cliff looks just like a curtain, and reflects the light. The best time to visit the park is in autumn, especially in October, when the forest is covered with red and golden leaves and the bright colours reflect on the surface of the lakes.
