SPEAKING PART 2
CUE CARD
 SPEAKING PART 2

Describe a piece of art (a painting, drawing, sculpture

or decorative object) that you like.

You should say

- what it looks like or what it shows

 IELTS Speaking Part-2 Questions:

Describe a famous painting or photo

you have seen or know about.
You should say:

– What it shows.

– Why it is famous.
And say if you would like to hang this
picture in your house or not, and why.
John and Yoko’s protest bed

The 'bed-in' was John Lennon and Yoko Ono's famous

protest of the Vietnam War. Inspired by non-violent 'sit-in'
protests, the two spent a week in bed in both Amsterdam
and Montreal in 1969. The events were filmed and later
turned into a documentary movie titled 'Bed Peace'.

The Amsterdam bed-in coincided with the couple’s

honeymoon, and their overall popularity and media
exposure ensured that their message reached a wide
audience. When people say newlyweds spend their whole
honeymoon in bed we don't think this is what they had in
mind!
Describe a handicraft you have
made.

You should mention:

– What it was
– Where you made it.
– Why you made it.

And tell me if it required any

special materials or techniques
to make.

SPEAKING PART 3
 How can art help our daily
lives?

“
Would you like your child to
become an artist?

What kind of handicrafts can

you find in your country?

Are you a consumer of art?

Can you speculate about a
world without art? ”
Is art necessarily a good thing?

This is a rather big question to address in just a few sentences!

In short – yes, art is a good thing. Art is evocative – that is, it
makes us feel in a certain way, it promotes imagination and
encourages abstract thinking. It shows us the beautiful side of
life, for the most part. Some art can try to achieve the opposite
– be provocative and ugly in order to appeal to our senses. Of
course there are examples when art can be tasteless and even
revolting. Thankfully such cases are quite rare.
WRITING TASK 2

Art and music are considered

some of the fundamental
elements of all societies.

Do you think art and music

still have a place in today’s
modern world of technology?
Should children spend more
