What objects come up in IELTS Speaking Part 2?

Nov 5, 2026
Short answer

The common ones are a piece of clothing, a phone or device, a gift you were given, something you use at work, and something you bought that was expensive for you. All of them fit the four lenses, because all of them arrived at some point, replaced something, and could be lost.

The common ones are a piece of clothing, a phone or device, a gift you were given, something you use at work, and something you bought that was expensive for you. All of them fit the four lenses, because all of them arrived at some point, replaced something, and could be lost. If the card names a category you have never owned, choose the nearest thing you have and say so in the first sentence: I don't own a car, but the thing I use most is my bike.

Choose the nearest thing you own and say so in the first sentence rather than pretending the card matches your life exactly. The examiner is scoring the language, and a calm substitution sentence is itself a coherence move.
