A.

Opening phrase + the first prompt from card

Ok then, I guess I could start off by answering who the person is…
Alright then, in response to the first question of who the person is…
So to begin with, in reply to the initial point of who the person is…
Ok, I’ll start the ball rolling by touching on the matter of who the person is…
Right then, I’d like to get cracking by pointing out who the person is…
So I suppose I should commence with the first aspect which is who the person is…
Initially then, I’d like to get started by looking at who the person is…
So, to start with I’ll talk about who ethe person is…
So I guess I could kick off by stating who the person is…
Ok so my first point here would obviously be who the person is…
Before you add your content sentence, you need to add another linking phrase:
… and I think I would have to choose…
… and I’d have to go for…
…and I’d probably select…
…and my choice is going to be…Mat Clark – IELTS Speaking
…and the one I’d pick is…

The second point + the second prompt from card

Going on to my next point which is why he is famous…
Continuing then with the next point of why he is famous…
Now with regard to the next question of why he is famous…
Next then in response to the point of why he is famous…
Now on the subject of why he is famous…
Now concerning the matter of why he is famous…
Before you explain this point you need to add a second linking phrase (similar to
your first point).
… and what I’d like to add here is that …
… and what I need to emphasize here is that…
.. and what I ought to stress here is that..
…and the thing that needs to be highlighted here is that..
…and what I have to mention here is that …

C. The third point + the third prompt from card

Progressing to the subject of why I would like to meet this celebrity…
Moving onto the business of why I would like to meet this celebrity…
Drawing attention to the matter of why I would like to meet this celebrity…
Proceeding with the issue of why I would like to meet this celebrity…
Moving forward onto the area of why I would like to meet this celebrity…
Now add your second linking phrase:
I would like to explain that…
You really have to understand that…
I suppose I should underline the fact that….
So the third point could be:

D. The fourth point + the fourth prompt from card

If you give fairly long responses for the other points, you might not have time to
cover the last point. This is not a problem, as long as you have produced all of the linking
structures in the first 3 points – your Part Two talk will be fine.
The last linking phrase:
Finally then, if there’s time, I could deal with the last question of...
To end with, if I still have time, I could take care of the final question of...
As a final point, if time permits, I’d like to bring in the point of...
To cut a long story short, as my very last point, with reference to the question of...
It will probably unnecessary to develop this point because hopefully the examiner
will stop you around this point.
Most people find that when they use this method, they reach the two-minute mark
just after saying this final linking phrase.
