0 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:15,350 In Part 2 of the IELTS Speaking Test, you have to talk on your own for up to two minutes. 1 00:00:15,350 --> 00:00:21,270 Once you start the talk, you should then continue speaking about the items on the task card. 2 00:00:21,270 --> 00:00:26,619 You should talk about these items in the same sequence as the notes you have made. Now 3 00:00:26,619 --> 00:00:31,360 the examiner may stop you before you have finished talking, and that’s okay, but it’s 4 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,360 worth looking at how to end your talk confidently. 5 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:40,420 Let’s watch this candidate. He is talking about a special occasion in his life. 6 00:00:40,420 --> 00:00:42,720 Notice how he finishes his talk. 7 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,160 Candidate: ...and I also remember how surprised I was when I opened the present from my Dad, 8 00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:52,040 and there was a key inside – a car key! That was my graduation present 9 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:58,080 from my parents – a car! Anyway, it was a great day – one that I’ll always remember. 10 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,380 Examiner: Thank you. 11 00:01:01,380 --> 00:01:08,000 Did you notice how this candidate ended his talk? He summed up his talk about his graduation 12 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:15,219 by saying, 'Anyway, it was a great day'.

You could also say, 'All in all', or 'Finally'. Or you 16 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:45,109 might say 'To finish off'.
