Speaking Part 2 · People

Describe a person who helped you at an important moment

The cue card

Describe a person who helped you at an important moment.

You should say:

  • who this person is
  • when this happened
  • what they did to help you

and explain how you felt about their help.

You have one minute to prepare, then talk for one to two minutes.

Part 3: the discussion that follows

  1. Why do some people find it hard to ask for help?
  2. Should schools teach children to help others?
  3. Do people help their neighbours less than they used to?
  4. Who should help elderly people: their families or the government?
