Describe a shop or store you often visit.

You should say:

• What the shop's name is
• Where it is
• How often you visit it
• And explain why you like to visit it

One shop I often visit is called "Green Grocer," a small grocery store near my home. It is located just around the corner from my apartment, so it’s very convenient for me to stop by whenever I need something. I usually visit this shop about three or four times a week, especially after work, to buy fresh fruits, vegetables, and other daily necessities. What I love about Green Grocer is its friendly atmosphere. The owner, Mr. Lee, always greets me with a smile and remembers my favorite items. Once, I forgot my wallet at home, and he let me take the groceries and pay later. This kindness made me feel like part of the community. Another reason I like this shop is the quality of its products. The fruits and vegetables are always fresh, and they often have local and organic options. It’s much better than the big supermarkets where everything feels impersonal. Visiting Green Grocer feels like a small, happy part of my routine, and I always leave with a good mood.

When answering the IELTS Speaking Part 2 question about a shop you often visit, here's how to structure your response: First, introduce the shop by its name and location—keep it simple, like 'It's called XYZ, and it's near my home.' Next, mention how often you go there, such as 'I visit it almost every weekend.' Then, explain why you like it. Focus on details like the friendly staff, good prices, or the variety of products. Make sure to use linking words like 'because,' 'so,' or 'also' to connect your ideas smoothly. Practice speaking for about 1-2 minutes, and don't rush—take pauses to sound natural. Remember, the examiner wants to hear clear, fluent English, so avoid memorizing answers. Just relax and talk like you're telling a friend about your favorite place to shop!
