Describe your favourite childhood friend.

You should say:

• Who he/she is
• Where you met each other
• What you often did together
• And explain what made you like him/her

One of my favourite childhood friends was a girl named Sarah. We met in kindergarten when we were both five years old. Our classrooms were next to each other, and one day during playtime, we started talking while playing with the same set of blocks. From that day on, we became inseparable. Sarah and I did so many fun things together. We often played hide-and-seek in the schoolyard, drew pictures, and shared our snacks during lunch breaks. On weekends, we would visit each other’s houses and watch cartoons or play with our dolls. One of my favourite memories was when we built a small fort in her backyard using old blankets and chairs. We pretended it was our secret castle, and we spent hours there, laughing and making up stories. What I liked most about Sarah was her kindness and creativity. She always had new ideas for games and made everyone around her feel happy. She was also very loyal. Once, when I fell and hurt my knee, she stayed with me until the teacher came, even though it meant missing her turn in a game. Those little things made our friendship special, and I will always remember her as my favourite childhood friend.

When answering the IELTS Speaking Part 2 question about your favorite childhood friend, here's a simple way to structure your response: First, introduce who your friend was—maybe their name and how you knew them. Then, explain where you met, like school or your neighborhood. Next, talk about the fun things you did together, like playing games or sharing secrets. Finally, say why you liked them so much—maybe they were kind, funny, or always there for you. Remember to keep your answer natural and relaxed, like you're telling a story to a friend. Don't rush, and try to cover all the points: who they were, where you met, what you did, and why you liked them. Practice speaking slowly and clearly, and use simple words you're comfortable with. Good luck!
