How To Amazingly Do IELTS Speaking Part 2

In IELTS, there will be three different parts of speaking test, each with ease and challenge. But one part that usually causes a trouble is the second part of the speaking. The second part of the speaking is the self presentation, giving the chance for the test takers to demonstrate their speaking skill without any interruption from the interviewer.
