Describe a song or a piece of music you like.

You should say:

• What the song or music is
• What kind of song or music it is
• Where you first heard it
• And explain why you like it

One of my favorite songs is "Imagine" by John Lennon. It is a beautiful and peaceful song with a simple melody and meaningful lyrics. The song is a kind of soft rock or pop ballad, and it has a very calming and hopeful feeling. I first heard this song when I was in high school. My English teacher played it in class to teach us about the power of music and its messages. At that time, I didn’t fully understand the lyrics, but the melody touched my heart. Later, I listened to it again and read the words carefully. The song talks about imagining a world without borders, wars, or divisions, where everyone lives in peace. It made me feel hopeful and inspired. I like this song because it carries a powerful message of unity and love. Even though it was written many years ago, the idea is still relevant today. Whenever I feel stressed or sad, I listen to "Imagine," and it helps me relax and think positively. The simplicity of the music and the deep meaning of the lyrics make it a timeless piece that I will always love.

When answering the IELTS Speaking Part 2 question about describing a song or piece of music you like, start by introducing the song and its genre—like pop, rock, or classical. Then, mention where you first heard it, maybe on the radio, at a concert, or through a friend. Next, explain why you like it. Maybe the lyrics speak to you, the melody is catchy, or it reminds you of a special memory. Keep your answer structured: 1) Name and type of song, 2) Where you heard it, 3) Why you like it. Speak naturally, use simple words, and don’t rush. Focus on fluency and clarity. Remember, the examiner wants to hear your English, not a perfect story!
