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 your perfect holiday. (Heading) 

You should say: 
  • where you would go and who you would go with (Point 1) 
  • where you would stay (Point 2) 
  • what you would do (Point 3) 
and explain why it would be the perfect holiday. (Point 4) 


Tips: 
  • Make brief notes about the heading “My perfect holiday” 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: 

My perfect holiday 

Where I would go and who with: 
  • beach holiday 
  • with my parents 

Where I would stay: 
  • beach resort 

What I would do: 
  • family entertainment 
  • water sports 

Why it is special: 
  • family time 
​

For me, the perfect holiday would be one spent with my parents, because I now live in a different city and we don't get to see each other very often. I really miss spending time with them, and that's why whenever we get the chance, we go on family holidays. 

For us, the perfect holiday would be a relaxing beach holiday. Even though the summer tends to be the busiest tourist season, we would most probably go to a beach resort to enjoy the beautiful summer weather. We much prefer hot weather, because my parents live in a city in the north part of China where the weather is much colder than most regions in the country. 

As for where we would go, I don't think we would have any specific destination in mind, because for us the most important part of going on holiday is spending time together. We could travel by car or plane, and we could go anywhere we liked. We are like those types of travellers who prefer to plan their route and make any necessary changes on the go. 

We definitely like trying different activities as well as food. So, if we decided to go to a beach resort, we would choose a place with plenty of family entertainment on offer and we would do some water sports, like scuba diving, for example.
