Describe a time you received a call from someone you didn't know.

You should say:

• When it was
• Where you were when you received it
• What the call was about
• And explain how you felt after you received this call

I remember a time last year when I received a call from an unknown number. It was a Saturday afternoon, and I was at home, relaxing on the couch after lunch. My phone rang, and I hesitated for a moment before answering because I didn’t recognize the number. When I picked up, a woman introduced herself as Sarah. She said she had found my contact details in a lost wallet and wanted to return it to me. I was surprised because I hadn’t even realized my wallet was missing! She explained that she had found it near a coffee shop I often visit. We arranged to meet at the coffee shop later that day. When I got there, Sarah handed me my wallet, and everything inside was untouched, including my money and cards. I was so relieved and grateful for her honesty. After the call and meeting her, I felt really happy and thankful. It reminded me that there are still kind and honest people in the world. I also learned to be more careful with my belongings. It was a simple call, but it left a big impression on me.

For the IELTS Speaking Part 2 question about describing a time you received a call from someone you didn't know, here's how to structure your answer: Start by setting the scene—mention when it happened and where you were. Keep it simple, like 'Last summer, I was at home when my phone rang.' Next, explain what the call was about. Maybe it was a wrong number, a survey, or something unexpected. Don't overcomplicate it—just say what happened. Then, focus on your feelings after the call. Were you surprised, confused, or maybe even a little scared? Be honest and descriptive. Remember to use linking words like 'first,' 'then,' and 'finally' to make your answer flow smoothly. Also, try to include some details to make your story interesting, like the tone of the caller's voice or what you did right after the call. Practice speaking naturally, and don't rush—take your time to cover all the points. Good luck!
