Describe an interesting conversation you had with someone.

You should say:

• When it was
• Who you had it with
• What you talked about

I had a very interesting conversation with my grandmother last summer. It was a warm evening, and we were sitting in her garden, drinking tea. She is a wonderful storyteller, and that evening, she told me about her childhood. She grew up in a small village, and life was very different back then. She talked about how she walked to school every day, even in the rain, and how her family didn’t have a television or a phone. I was surprised to hear that she played with simple things like sticks and stones, not like the toys we have today. What made the conversation special was her way of describing everything. She made me feel like I was there with her. I could almost see the green fields and hear the sounds of the village. She also shared some funny stories about her friends, which made us both laugh. This conversation was memorable because it helped me understand her life better. It also made me realize how much things have changed over the years. I felt closer to her after that talk, and now I always ask her to tell me more stories.

When answering the IELTS Speaking Part 2 question about 'an interesting conversation you had with someone,' here's a simple way to structure your answer. First, start by saying when the conversation happened—just a rough time, like 'last summer' or 'a few months ago.' Then, mention who you talked to—maybe a friend, a teacher, or even a stranger. Next, explain what the conversation was about. Try to make it interesting by adding details, like why it was memorable or how it made you feel. Remember to use natural pauses and linking words like 'so,' 'because,' or 'but' to make your answer flow smoothly. Also, focus on speaking clearly and confidently, and don’t worry too much about perfect grammar—just keep it simple and natural. Finally, practice timing yourself to make sure your answer lasts about 1-2 minutes. Good luck!
