Describe a useful object in your home that you found useless but cannot live without now.

You should say:

• What it is
• What you can do with it
• How often you use it
• And explain why you cannot live without it 

One object in my home that I once thought was useless but now can't live without is my electric kettle. At first, I didn't understand why I needed it because I already had a stove to boil water. But after my friend gifted it to me, I decided to give it a try. With the electric kettle, I can boil water in just a few minutes. It's perfect for making tea, coffee, or even instant noodles. I also use it to fill my hot water bottle in winter. It’s so convenient because I don’t have to wait for the stove to heat up. I use it almost every day, sometimes multiple times a day. It has become a part of my daily routine, especially in the mornings when I need my coffee quickly. The reason I can’t live without it now is because it saves me so much time. Before, boiling water on the stove took forever, but now it’s done in a flash. It’s also safer because it turns off automatically when the water is ready. I never realized how much I needed it until I started using it. Now, I wonder how I ever managed without it!

Alright, let’s break down how to answer this IELTS Speaking Part 2 question step by step. First, you’ll need to structure your answer clearly. Start by introducing the object—what it is and maybe a quick background story if it helps. Then, explain what you can do with it—this is where you describe its functions or uses. Next, talk about how often you use it—daily, weekly, or just occasionally. Finally, dive into why you can’t live without it now—maybe it saves you time, makes life easier, or has become a habit. Keep it natural, like you’re telling a friend, and don’t forget to use simple words and grammar. Focus on fluency and coherence, and try to fill the 2-minute time limit without rushing. Practice makes perfect, so rehearse this structure with different objects to get comfortable!
