Describe something you did that made you feel proud.

You should say:

• What it was
• How you did it
• How difficult it was
• And explain why you felt proud of it

One thing that made me feel proud was organizing a charity event in my community. It was a small fundraiser to help children in need. I planned everything myself, from choosing the venue to inviting local performers and setting up food stalls. It took me about a month to prepare, and I had to work hard to get sponsors and volunteers. At first, it was very difficult because I had never done anything like this before. I felt nervous and unsure, but I kept going. On the day of the event, everything went smoothly. Many people came, and we raised a good amount of money for the children. I felt proud because I had worked hard and made a difference in someone’s life. It also showed me that even small efforts can have a big impact. The smiles on the children’s faces made all the hard work worth it.

When answering the IELTS Speaking Part 2 question 'Describe something you did that made you feel proud,' here's how you can structure your response naturally. First, introduce what the achievement was—keep it simple, like finishing a project or helping someone. Then, explain how you did it step by step, focusing on your actions. Next, talk about how hard it was—maybe you faced challenges or had to work extra hard. Finally, explain why you felt proud—maybe it was a personal goal, or it helped others. Remember to use linking words like 'first,' 'then,' and 'finally' to keep your answer smooth. Also, don’t forget to add details and emotions to make it interesting. Practice speaking slowly and clearly, and try to fill the 2-minute time without rushing. Good luck!
