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 one of your possessions which you couldn’t live without. (Heading) 

You should say: 
  • what it is (Point 1) 
  • why you first bought it / how you got it (Point 2) 
  • when and how often you use it (Point 3) 
and explain why it is so special. (Point 4) 


Tips: 
  • Make brief notes about the heading “a possession I couldn’t live without” 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: 

A possession I couldn't live without 

What it is:  
  • iPhone 6 Plus 
  • widescreen multi-touch display 

How I got it: 
  • my mother bought it  
  • my graduation 
  • good/reputable university 

When/How often I use it: 
  • every day; multitasking 
  • reading, listening to music 

Why it is special:

  • convenient 
​

I’m going to talk about a possession I have which I find extremely useful and that’s my iPhone 6 Plus. To begin with, it has a widescreen multi-touch display that is very clear. What I like about this model is how beautifully designed it is.
 
I’ve always been a fan of Apple’s smartphones and I really wanted to have this one. I was lucky enough to receive it as a present from my mother because she wanted to reward me for my efforts after I graduated from high school, and was offered a place at a reputable university. I was in luck because at that time there was a very good discount at the shopping mall I often go to. That was the perfect opportunity for me to have it and my mother actually bought it for me. 

I’ve been using my phone ever since. I use it from the moment I wake up and I take it anywhere with me. I find it extremely convenient for reading some novels and listening to music because of its multi-touch screen. I can easily switch from one app to another and this makes the phone perfect for multitasking. 
​
And why it is so special? Well, I love using my phone to search online and this specific model is extremely fast and I can easily access online content within seconds.
