A student recently asked me about how to answer this Speaking Part 2 cue card.

On the face of it, it seems easytalking about shopping.

However, speaking about only one shop, one place, for 2 minutes, is challenging.

That’s what you have to do on the exam- speak for 2 minutes about the topic, which, in this case, is a singular shop.

So, if you are talking about multiple shops, that won’t earn you the highest scores for Fluency and Coherence.
