IELTS Speaking Part 2 (An influential person)

Part 2 Sample Task Card:

Describe a person who has been an important influence in your life.

You should say:

Who this person is and how long you have known him or her

Why you chose this person

How this person has influenced your life

And explain how you feel about him or her

Sample Response:

I'd like like to talk about my English teacher in high school. her name is Judy Price and I've known her for about 4 or 5 years now.

I chose her to be the most influential person in my life for many reasons. for one, she inspired me to love the English language. her passion for teaching English to her students radiates through her every time. I have never met anyone who is as enthusiastic as her to share her knowledge of the language. I know well that teaching is not a walk in the park.

It all started when I failed my test in her class. Instead of getting angry at me, she calmly asked me to stay and talk to her after class. I thought she'd scold me that time. I won't go into detail here but what I clearly remember was the way she tried to uplift my motivation to study harder in order to get a better score on the next test. I believe not all teachers do that to their students nowadays.

In this event, I was inspired not only to study harder but also to pursue a career in Education. I feel honored to know a person like her and I'll never forget her as long as I live. So that's why I chose to speak about my English teacher Judy Price.

Sample: The data from the line graph illustrates the carbon dioxide emissions of an average individual per metric tonnes in four European countries every decade from 1967-2007.A closer look at the data highlights the fact that among the 4 nations, the UK has the highest rate in carbon dioxide emissions per person in 40 years. In 1967, there was approximately 11 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide released by an average Englishman which was about ten times higher than the emissions made by an individual from Portugal. However, it can be seen that as time went by, the carbon dioxide emitted by Englishmen decreased gradually to over 8 metric tonnes in 2007. On the other hand, a different trend can be noted in the countries Italy and Portugal where the emissions slowly rose from an initial rate of approximately 4 and 1 metric ton to about 7 and 6 metric tonnes in 4 decades. In Sweden, emissions increased to its record highest in 1977 w...
