Today you’ll hear a band 8 sample IELTS Part 2 about childhood places and learn how a native would talk about these memories.

Visit ielts.allearsenglish.com for the simplest and most effective IELTS strategies.

If you’ve been listening to our podcast, IELTS Energy, or watching this YouTube channel for a while, you know that we recommend telling a story in your Speaking Part 2 answer.

Surprisingly, you really can find a story that connects to nearly any Part 2 topic!

Recalling the memory of a story helps you, firstly, to take organized notes. Then, these are easier to use while you talk.

This will help you increase your Fluency scores, and also will aid you in providing an organized response for higher Coherence scores. 

Yes- Fluency and Coherence are one scoring category, but you must meet the band score requirements for both to score highly.

Today I provide a Part 2 answer for this IELTS question:

Describe a place you enjoyed going to as a child.

Here are the notes I took before I answered:

Used book store
Bike to from house
Crowded, stacked shelves and on floor
Musty smell
Small windows
Dust particles in air
Beeline for horror/mystery section
Stephen King, Dean Koontz
Bag of books, cheap, around $1

As you listen to my answer, please take notes on how I transition between ideas, moving between descriptions of the air, the books, how I got there, and why I liked it.

Then, try using some of these phrases in your own Part 2 answer about this topic of childhood memories.
