Family comes up in <a href=\"https:\/\/ieltsleader.com\/speaking\/ielts-speaking-part-2\">IELTS Speaking Part&nbsp;2<\/a> cue cards, and &#8220;Tell me about your family&#8221; is a classic Part&nbsp;1 question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the topic is personal, you can speak from real experience, which makes it easier to sound fluent. Below you will find five family cue cards with band&nbsp;7+ sample answers, useful family vocabulary, and typical Part&nbsp;1 and Part&nbsp;3 questions with answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"mt-3 mb-3 not-in-feed\">\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1256780356303841\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- Ad Display - Top (Blog) -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ad-responsive-1\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1256780356303841\" data-ad-slot=\"3291034206\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div class=\"takeaway\">\n<span class=\"takeaway__label\">How Part&nbsp;2 works<\/span>\n<p class=\"takeaway__text\">You get a cue card and 1 minute to make notes.

She is three years older than me, and since we both moved to the same city for work, we see each other at least twice a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We do all sorts of things together. On Wednesday evenings we usually cook dinner at her flat and catch up on each other&#8217;s news, and at weekends we often go for long walks or visit our parents together, since they live about an hour away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think we spend so much time together because we are not only sisters but also best friends. She is the first person I call when I have good news or a problem, and she always gives me honest advice. When we were teenagers we argued a lot, but now we are closer than ever.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"margin-top:3rem;margin-bottom:3rem;\">\n\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Ad Display - Middle -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ad-responsive-2a\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1256780356303841\" data-ad-slot=\"2515386464\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group prompt-block comparison__item comparison__item-left\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"family-achievement\">Describe a family member who has achieved something remarkable.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>who the family member is<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>what they achieved<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>how they achieved it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">and explain why you are proud of them.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group answer-block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading mt-0\">Sample Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would like to talk about my grandfather, who achieved something remarkable at the age of sixty-five: he ran his first marathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He had never been sporty, but after he retired his doctor told him to be more active. He started by walking every day, then slowly began to jog, and after about two years of training he signed up for the marathon in our city. He trained in all weathers, and the whole family came to cheer him on at the finish line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am incredibly proud of him because he proved that it is never too late to start something new. He finished in just over five hours, which is very respectable for a beginner of his age. His story has inspired several people in our family, including me, to start running too.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group prompt-block comparison__item comparison__item-left\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"family-activity\">Describe an activity that you enjoy doing with your family.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>what the activity is<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>when and where you do it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>who takes part<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">and explain why you enjoy doing it with your family.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group answer-block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading mt-0\">Sample Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An activity my family and I really enjoy is our big Sunday lunch. Almost every Sunday, my parents, my siblings and I get together at my parents&#8217; house, and sometimes my grandparents join us too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone helps to prepare the food. My father is in charge of the main course, my mother makes dessert, and the rest of us set the table and do the washing-up afterwards. The lunch itself usually lasts for hours, because we sit around the table and talk about everything from work to politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I enjoy it because during the week we are all busy and live in different places, so this is the time when we really connect. It is relaxed, there are no phones at the table, and there is always a lot of laughter. For me, those lunches are what family is all about.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group prompt-block comparison__item comparison__item-left\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"family-business\">Describe a successful family business that you know.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>what the business is<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>who runs it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>how it became successful<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">and explain why you think it is successful.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group answer-block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading mt-0\">Sample Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A successful family business I know well is a bakery in my hometown, which has been run by the same family for three generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was started by the grandfather in the 1970s as a tiny shop selling bread. Today his son and granddaughter run it together. The son is responsible for the baking, while the granddaughter, who studied marketing, has opened a caf\u00e9 next to the shop and started selling cakes online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think it is successful because it combines tradition with new ideas. They still use the original recipes, so the quality has stayed the same, but the younger generation has helped the business attract new customers. Also, the whole family is friendly and knows many customers by name, which creates real loyalty.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group prompt-block comparison__item comparison__item-left\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"family-dinner\">Describe a great dinner that you and your family enjoyed.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>when and where it was<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>what you ate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>who was there<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">and explain why it was so enjoyable.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group answer-block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading mt-0\">Sample Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One family dinner I will never forget was the celebration of my parents&#8217; thirtieth wedding anniversary last spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My siblings and I organised it as a surprise. We booked a private room in a lovely restaurant by the lake and invited about twenty relatives, some of whom had travelled from abroad. We had a three-course meal: fresh fish to start, roast lamb as the main course and, of course, a big anniversary cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was so enjoyable because my parents were completely surprised; my mother actually cried when she walked in. During the dinner, my uncle showed old photos from their wedding, and everyone shared funny stories. It was a rare evening when the whole family was together in one place.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"family-vocabulary\">Useful family vocabulary for IELTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These words and phrases will help you talk about family more precisely:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"band-table-wrap\"><table class=\"band-table\"><thead><tr><th>Topic<\/th><th>Words and phrases<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Family members<\/strong><\/td><td>immediate family, extended family, relatives, siblings, an only child, in-laws, a stepfather<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Relationships<\/strong><\/td><td>to get on well with, to be close to, to look up to, to take after, to have a lot in common<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Family life<\/strong><\/td><td>to bring up children, a family gathering, to spend quality time, a close-knit family, a family tradition<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Describing people<\/strong><\/td><td>supportive, easy-going, strict, protective, down-to-earth, a role model<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Useful phrases<\/strong><\/td><td>to run in the family, the apple doesn&#8217;t fall far from the tree, to start a family<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"family-part-1\">IELTS Speaking Part&nbsp;1: family questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Part&nbsp;1 questions are short and personal.

But I visit my parents at least once a month, and we talk on the phone a few times a week.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"family-part-3\">IELTS Speaking Part&nbsp;3: family discussion questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3-guide-link wp-block-paragraph\">New to Part&nbsp;3?

In my grandparents&#8217; generation it was normal to have four or five children, but today most couples have one or two. People also start families later, and it is more common for both parents to work full-time, so grandparents often help with childcare.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"sample-answer\"><p class=\"sample-answer__q\"><span class=\"sample-answer__n\">2<\/span>Is family more important than friends?<\/p><div class=\"sample-answer__a\"><p>For most people, I think family is more important in the long term, because family members are usually there for you no matter what. However, friends play a different role: we choose them, and we often share interests and experiences with them that we can&#8217;t share with our family.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"sample-answer\"><p class=\"sample-answer__q\"><span class=\"sample-answer__n\">3<\/span>Should elderly people live with their children?<\/p><div class=\"sample-answer__a\"><p>It depends on the culture and the situation. Living together can be great for both sides, since grandparents help with the children and get support in return. But it can also cause tension, so in many countries older people prefer to live independently, as long as they are healthy.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"practise\">Practise on your own<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose one of the cue cards above, set a timer for 1 minute to make notes, and then record yourself speaking for 2 minutes.
