IELTS Speaking Part 2

Describe a resolution you made in the new year

You should say:

• What is the resolution?

• How will you complete it?

• How do you feel about it?

• Why did you make this resolution?

Sample Answer:

Well, setting up new year resolutions with great vivacity and eagerness is quite customary. However, not all of them stick to it and generally host a flop show. This year, even I made a resolution. And, so far, it’s going good. My new year resolution is to moderate the use of mobile.

I am trying miscellaneous ways to complete this resolution. Now, instead of wasting hours on my phone, I have started stepping out of the house more. To stay vigorous, I have started playing physical sports with friends. Also, I switch off my phone at sharp 10 pm and hit the bed.

To be honest, I am feeling much more undisturbed now than before. Earlier, I used to be on my phone until the wee hours of the night. But now, I meditate for half an hour to relax my mind before sleeping. Also, I take a deep slumber for 8 hours daily, which is helping my focus and performance.

The truth is that, just like many other people, I had a phone fixation. This addiction, at one point, reached such an extent that I began squandering my golden hours playing games, surfing social media, and watching movies. So finally, I decided to put a full stop to it and take control of my life.

IELTS Speaking Part 2

  1. What are the most common resolutions in your country?
    The most common resolutions in my country are about self-improvement. At the start of a new year, people pledge to get up early, go for a walk, or start a new hobby. Most of them also join the gym to lead a healthier routine.
  2. How difficult would it be for you to save money this year?
    Saving money this year would be a daunting task, keeping in mind that inflation is rising rapidly. Moreover, I have to buy a few gadgets this year, such as an iPad, a car, and a new laptop. As there would be too many expenses, I would not save much.
  3. How difficult would it be for you to get fit this year?
    As I have started practising intermittent fasting, getting fit will not be a challenging task for me. However, it also depends upon my zeal to continue with it. If I stop being consistent, the tables might turn.
  4. What do you think this year will be like for you?
    I firmly believe that this year will bring a paradigm shift to my life. I will complete my studies this year. Moreover, I am also contemplating beginning a new business this year, something completely different from my family business. In totality, it will be a happening year.
  5. What things would you like to stop doing this year?
    This year I would like to stop procrastinating. And then, I would like to inculcate a habit of curating plans and work according to them so that I could be more productive and don’t waste time.
