Describe a place in your city where you like to spend time

IELTS Speaking Part 2 cue card: Describe a place in your city where you like to spend time. One minute to prepare, up to two minutes to speak, then follow-up questions.

An intermediate-level session of about 8 minutes. Covers Part 2. 3 prompts in total.

What it looks like is a real instruction, and it asks for things that can be counted or pointed at: the light at a particular hour, what the floor is made of, how loud it gets, who else is there on a weekday afternoon. Peaceful and beautiful summarise the place without showing it, and a listener cannot picture a summary. The other half of the card is habit. You like to spend time there, which means it happens repeatedly, and the language should show that — usually, most evenings, whenever an hour comes free. Both follow-ups reward whoever has been concrete. Whether you go alone or with others is simple once the place has people in it, and whether it has changed in recent years is simple once you have named something capable of changing: a stall that closed, a new floor, a fee at the gate.
