Describe a time when you shared something with others.

You should say:

• What you shared
• Who you shared it with
• Why you shared it
• And explain how you felt about sharing it

One time, I shared a homemade chocolate cake with my neighbors. It was a special occasion because I had just learned how to bake, and I wanted to celebrate my success. I made the cake from scratch, and it turned out really delicious. I decided to share it with the family next door, who are very friendly and always kind to me. I thought it would be a nice way to thank them for their kindness. When I knocked on their door and handed them the cake, they were so surprised and happy. The children especially loved it and even asked for the recipe. I felt really good about sharing the cake because it made them smile, and it also gave me a sense of accomplishment. It was a simple act, but it brought us closer as neighbors. Sharing something I made myself made the moment even more special. I realized that small gestures like this can create big happiness.

When answering the IELTS Speaking Part 2 question about a time you shared something, here's how to structure your response naturally. First, introduce what you shared—maybe it was food, a book, or even an idea—and keep it simple. Then, mention who you shared it with, like friends, family, or coworkers. Next, explain why you shared it—was it to help, celebrate, or just be kind? Finally, describe how you felt—happy, proud, or maybe even nervous. Remember to use linking words like 'because,' 'so,' or 'after that' to connect your ideas smoothly. Focus on speaking clearly and adding small details to make your answer interesting. Don't rush; take your time to think and speak naturally. Practice this structure, and you'll feel more confident!
