Hello again, 

Here are the most recent part 2 topics for speaking. Remember that you should aim to talk about these for 2 minutes after only 1 minute of preparation. It makes sense to practice these questions in advance, but you shouldn’t memorise answers. The best strategy is to think of key vocabulary, collocations and idioms that you would need and to try out a couple of different ideas for each part 2 topic. If you would like to practice with these with a professional teacher, just head over to my booking page that you can find on the top menu. 

Please let me know if you find any of these topics difficult to talk about, I can definitely provide some model answers or vocabulary lists.
