CELPIP Speaking Task 2 – Walkthrough: <\/strong><\/span>This blog will discuss CELPIP Speaking Task 2, which focuses on personal experience. The prompt requires you to talk about your personal experience, covering various topics. When taking this test, it is crucial to possess excellent creativity. <\/span><\/p>\n

Let me briefly touch upon that: The time allotted for preparation remains unchanged at 30 seconds, but you have only 60 seconds to speak, making it slightly shorter. In the first test, you had 90 seconds, whereas here you are given only 60 seconds. This essentially summarizes the overall structure of the second test.<\/span><\/p>\n

I will address the important points below as they are crucial for achieving a score of 10 or even higher. The first significant point I want to emphasize for this task is:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Make Notes<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

In this task, you must take notes, and it is highly important to do so. Making notes is crucial because, once again, you are discussing your personal experience, similar to the first task. However, in this case, it is even more crucial because you only have 60 seconds. It is vital to stay within the time limit and avoid finishing your answer before the 30-second mark. The 30-second reduction is quite significant.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Ask the 5Ws every time (who, what, when, where, why)\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

When discussing a personal experience, you usually have a lot to explain. However, mentioning finishing before 60 seconds does not mean you should conclude significantly earlier. Let’s say you take 30 seconds to answer; you should strive to come as close as possible to the 60-second mark. You should utilize as much time as you can. The best way to achieve this for this specific question is to address the five W’s: who, what, when, where, and why. You should aim to answer three out of the five questions. Essentially, these questions will guide you in identifying relevant aspects of the personal experience in question.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Come up with the easiest answer (don\u2019t force the truth)<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

I highly recommend coming up with the easiest answer and not forcing the truth. Why? Because I have witnessed many CELPIP and IELTS participants forcing the truth on a question they feel knowledgeable about or are familiar with, and it often backfires. I have explained this before, and sometimes the truth can be more complicated than you think. It may sound smooth and confident in your head, but once it comes out of your mouth, you realize there are a lot of complexities involved.<\/span><\/p>\n

Loopholes or aspects that require further elaboration can consume more time and prevent you from properly concluding your answer. Therefore, I highly recommend coming up with the easiest answer. This is why I mentioned earlier that good creativity is necessary for this question. It is better to invent an answer rather than ponder over whether you have personal experience. Please keep this in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n
