Describe something you did with one person or a group of people.

You should say:

• What it was 
• Where you did it 
• Who you were with 
• And explain how you feel about this 

One memorable activity I did with a group of people was organizing a surprise birthday party for my friend, Sarah. It was her 25th birthday, and we wanted to make it special. We planned the party at her favorite café, which had a cozy and colorful atmosphere. The group included five of our closest friends, and we all worked together to decorate the place with balloons, streamers, and photos of Sarah. We also ordered her favorite cake and prepared a playlist of her favorite songs. On the day of the party, one of us distracted Sarah while the rest set everything up. When she walked in, she was completely shocked and overjoyed. We spent the evening laughing, eating cake, and sharing funny stories about Sarah. It was a simple celebration, but it felt very meaningful because we all put so much effort into making her happy. I felt really happy and proud of how well everything turned out. Seeing Sarah’s smile made all the planning worth it. It also reminded me how important it is to show appreciation for the people we care about. The experience brought our group even closer, and we still talk about that party fondly.

For the IELTS Speaking Part 2 question, 'Describe something you did with one person or a group of people,' here's a simple way to structure your answer. First, introduce what the activity was—keep it clear and specific, like 'a hiking trip' or 'a cooking class.' Next, mention where it happened, such as 'in the mountains' or 'at a local community center.' Then, say who you were with, like 'my best friend' or 'a group of classmates.' Finally, explain how you felt about it—this is the most important part! Share your emotions, like 'I felt excited because it was my first time' or 'It was fun because we laughed a lot.' Remember to use simple words and grammar, and try to connect your ideas smoothly. Focus on speaking naturally and don’t rush. Practice by timing yourself to make sure your answer is about 1-2 minutes long. Good luck!
