Why planning matters in Speaking Part 2: You get a cue card and one minute to prepare. Then you speak for one to two minutes. A quick plan helps you stay organised, speak longer and avoid long silences. Use your notes as a guide, not as a script to read.

⏱️ The one-minute plan
🃏 The cue card prompts
📝 Key-word notes
🗣️ Speaking structure

💡 IELTS tip: Use the whole minute to plan. Follow the order of the cue card. Use the past tense for a past event. Do not memorise an answer, because the topic can change. If you finish early, add details, feelings or an example. The examiner will stop you at two minutes, so do not worry about running over.
