Today you’ll learn how to avoid common IELTS brainstorm rookie mistakes on your exam.

On the test, you must brainstorm twice- for Writing and for Speaking Part 2.

However, the way you take these notes is different.

Speaking Part 2 Notes

  • You only get one minute
  • Don’t write complete sentences
  • Write down everything you think of- including details
  • Try organizing your notes chronologically, as in a narrative or story
  • Write the specific topic first
  • Then, think about building out the context of the topic
  • Don’t describe too many things– dive deeply into just one thing, like one person or one place
