The topic of Water Sports appears quite regularly in IELTS Speaking part 2. While the general topics of Sport can be answered easily by most candidates, Water Sports is a topic that can be very challenging.
It is important in Speaking Part 2 that you use your 2 mins to your advantage. It is a time for you to plan what language to showcase and to demonstrate fluency by being able to speak at length without effort.
Part 2 Cue Card: Water Sport
Describe a water sport you would like to try. You should say:
- what the sport is
- when and where you would do it
- what preparation and equipment you would need
Model Answer & Tips
Below I have given a link to a model answer and tips from highly experienced and qualified IELTS teacher (an ex-examiner) called Keith O’Hare. You will also find lots more tips, model answers and videos on his site – enjoy!!

Also remember:
You do not need to cover all prompts. That is not your aim because task achievement is not a marking criterion for IELTS speaking. Your aim is to showcase language in a natural way.
Also remember that “equipment” is uncountable = no “s” (it can’t be plural).

Hi Liz,
Thank you very much! I had 2 weeks to prepare and checked all sections here.

Have a nice day wherever you are!

Hi Liz,
Thanks so much for the tutorial, I must say I have been a silent follower. My question was based on uniform. I must say your tips helped. God bless you

Yes it went very well, the questions ranged from, where do you come from, do you live in a home or apartment, are there social amenities around your home, why do you like your home, do you like cake, have you prepared one before, is cake part of your local food, and the part 2 was based on uniform and to be frank I fambled a little. I hope I get a higher score. Over all the speaking test was cool. I took the test today.
Fingers crossed for your results 🙂
