• How you knew him/her
• What interesting thing you did
• And explain how he/she inspired you to do something interesting

I would like to talk about my high school teacher, Ms. Johnson. She was my English teacher, and I first met her when I was 15 years old. Ms. Johnson had a very unique way of teaching. She made every lesson fun and exciting, which made me love English even more. One day, she encouraged the class to participate in a storytelling competition. At first, I was nervous because I had never done anything like that before. But Ms. Johnson believed in me and helped me prepare. She gave me tips on how to speak clearly and how to make my story interesting. With her support, I decided to join the competition. To my surprise, I won second place! It was such a happy moment for me. Ms. Johnson inspired me because she showed me that I could do things I never thought possible. Her confidence in me made me believe in myself. Because of her, I started joining more activities and even became more confident in speaking English. She taught me that with hard work and encouragement, anything is possible.

To answer the IELTS Speaking Part 2 question about a person who inspired you, start by introducing who the person is—like a family member, friend, or famous figure—and how you know them. For example, you might say, 'This person is my uncle, who I’ve always admired since childhood.' Next, explain what interesting thing you did because of their inspiration, like starting a hobby or pursuing a career. Be specific, like, 'He inspired me to learn photography, and now I love capturing moments.' Finally, dive into how they inspired you. Maybe they encouraged you, showed you the way, or their passion rubbed off on you. Keep your answer structured: introduction, details about the person, the action you took, and the inspiration behind it. Focus on fluency, use linking words like 'because,' 'so,' or 'that’s why,' and don’t forget to express your feelings to make it personal and engaging. Practice timing to fit within 2 minutes!
