Method 2 – Brainstorming

Describe a place near water you have visited.
You should say:

• 
  where this place is
  
• 
  what you did at this place
  
• 
  who you went there with and explain why you liked this place.
  

Sometime you’ll find that the bullet points don’t relate well to your experience of the topic or they aren’t what you want to say about it. When you read the talk below, you’ll see that this was the case for this candidate. Brainstorming is a particularly useful planning strategy to use in this situation, although it works well with any topic.

It’s a less structured approach than Method 1 so might also suit you better if you like to think more freely. Let’s go through it step by step.

Step 1 – First, read the topic sentence and bullet points. Then spend about 30 seconds jotting down the first things that come into your head. Single words or phrases are fine.
You’ll be given some paper to make your notes and will be able to refer to them during your 2-minute talk if you need to. You won’t be marked on what you write down.
Step 2 – Spend the remainder of your 1-minute planning time organizing your notes.
Do these two things:
a) Decide which to talk about (you don’t have to use them all).
b) Put them in a logical order.
Step 3 – Give your talk
You are now ready to give your 2-minute talk. Try not to rely too much on your notes and refer to them only if you need a quick reminder of what you want to say.
