IELTS Speaking Part 2: Cara Menjawab dan 30 Topik Latihan

Daftar lengkap dengan contoh cue card dan tips untuk setiap kategori

IELTS Speaking Part 2, yang dikenal sebagai “long turn” atau “cue card”, adalah satu-satunya waktu dalam tes saat kamu berbicara sendiri: satu menit untuk mempersiapkan, kemudian hingga dua menit pada topik dari kartu tugas. Kamu tidak dapat mengetahui kartu yang akan kamu dapatkan sebelumnya, tetapi kartu-kartu tersebut datang dalam beberapa jenis yang sering muncul (orang, tempat, objek, pengalaman, aktivitas, dan rencana), jadi kamu dapat mempersiapkan diri untuk jenis-jenis tersebut daripada menebak pertanyaan.

Panduan ini terdiri dari dua bagian: cara menjawab kartu cue card mana pun (format, struktur empat langkah, rencana satu menit, dua contoh jawaban dan kesalahan umum), kemudian 30 kartu cue card latihan yang diorganisir berdasarkan tipe, dengan satu tips untuk masing-masing. Fakta-fakta format diperiksa berdasarkan halaman resmi IELTS (lihat Sumber) per Oktober 2026. Kartu-kartu ini adalah topik latihan kami yang sesuai dengan format resmi, bukan pertanyaan tes yang bocor atau “diperkirakan”.

Cara Kerja Part 2

Menurut IELTS, Part 2 bekerja seperti ini:

Penguji memberimu sebuah task card dengan topik dan poin yang harus dicakup, plus pensil dan kertas.
Kamu memiliki satu menit untuk mempersiapkan dan membuat catatan.
Kamu berbicara selama hingga dua menit. Penguji akan menghentikanmu saat waktu habis; dihentikan bukanlah sebuah penalti.
Penguji mungkin akan mengajukan satu atau dua pertanyaan tentang topik yang sama.

Seluruh bagian ini berlangsung selama 3-4 menit, termasuk waktu persiapan. Ini dinilai menggunakan empat kriteria yang sama dengan sisa tes (Fluency and Coherence, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range and Accuracy, Pronunciation); panduan deskriptor band kami menjelaskan apa arti setiap band. Untuk melihat di mana Part 2 berada dalam keseluruhan tes, lihat format tes Speaking IELTS.

Kuncinya bukanlah menghafal jawaban. Melainkan merasa nyaman dengan jenis kartu yang umum, sehingga tidak ada yang mengejutkanmu.

Cara Menjawab Kartu Cue Card Mana Pun

Format kartu

Setiap kartu mengikuti pola yang sama: instruksi utama (“Describe a person who has inspired you”), tiga atau empat poin di bawah “You should say”, dan poin akhir “and explain…”.

Describe a person who has inspired you.
You should say:
- who this person is
- how you know them
- what they do
and explain why they have inspired you.

Poin-poin tersebut ada untuk membantumu. Menjangkau mereka memberi bentuk pada pembicaraan; poin “explain” adalah di mana kamu menunjukkan pendapat, perasaan, dan alasan, jadi luangkan waktu untuk itu.

Struktur empat langkah: Set up, Tell, Add, Reflect

Gunakan ini untuk kartu mana pun:

Langkah	Waktu	Apa yang kamu katakan
Set up	sekitar 15-20 detik	Sebutkan contohnya dan berikan konteks. “I’d like to talk about my aunt, who has been a big influence on me since I was a teenager.”
Tell	sekitar 40-50 detik	Cakup poin-poin pada kartu, sesuai urutan, sebagai sebuah cerita daripada daftar.
Add	sekitar 30-40 detik	Satu momen, detail, atau contoh spesifik yang menghidupkan cerita.
Reflect	sekitar 15-20 detik	Jawab poin “explain”: mengapa itu penting, bagaimana perasaanmu, apa yang berubah.

Waktu tersebut adalah panduan, bukan aturan. Tujuannya adalah agar kamu masih memiliki sesuatu untuk dikatakan saat penguji menghentikanmu di dua menit.

Rencana satu menit

15 detik pertama: baca seluruh kartu dan pilih satu contoh spesifik. Jangan merubah pikiranmu.
30 detik berikutnya: tulis kata kunci (bukan kalimat) untuk setiap poin, plus dua atau tiga detail konkret: nama, tempat, momen.
15 detik terakhir: nomor kata kunci dalam urutan berbicara dan putuskan kalimat pertamamu.

Dua contoh jawaban

Ini adalah jawaban contoh kami sendiri untuk menunjukkan struktur; gunakan ini untuk ide, bukan untuk dihafal.

Kartu: Describe a place you would like to visit in the future. You should say where it is, how you learned about it, what you would do there, and explain why you want to visit this place.

“A place that’s been on my travel list for years is Kyoto, in the Kansai region of Japan, a couple of hours by train from Tokyo.

I first became interested in it through a documentary about traditional Japanese architecture that I watched at university. The images of quiet temples surrounded by carefully designed gardens really stayed with me, and since then I’ve read quite a lot about the city and even started learning some basic Japanese.

If I had the chance to go, I’d want to slow down rather than rush between tourist spots. I’d definitely visit Fushimi Inari, the shrine with thousands of orange gates, and I’d love to try a traditional tea ceremony and walk around the Gion district in the evening.

The reason it appeals to me so much is that it seems to balance old and new: it’s a working modern city that still protects its heritage. I think spending time there would teach me something about patience and noticing small details, which is something I’m trying to get better at in my own life.”

Kartu: Describe a challenge you faced and overcame. You should say what the challenge was, when it happened, how you dealt with it, and explain how you felt after overcoming it.

“I’d like to talk about finishing my final-year dissertation while my family was going through a difficult time.

This was about three years ago. In the middle of my busiest semester, my grandmother became seriously ill, and I suddenly found myself travelling home most weekends to help look after her while trying to keep up with my studies.

I dealt with it by reorganising everything. First, I had an honest conversation with my supervisor, who helped me set a more realistic timeline. Then I learned to use small pockets of time, writing on the train and reading articles while I waited at the hospital. Most importantly, I accepted that my work didn’t have to be perfect.

When I finally submitted it and passed, I felt relief first, but then a kind of pride I hadn’t felt before. It showed me I could cope with pressure without giving up on my goals, and I think it’s made me calmer about challenges since then.”

Kesalahan Umum Part 2

Berhenti terlalu cepat. Jika kamu berhenti jauh sebelum dua menit, penguji mendengarmu kurang. Latihan dengan timer sampai dua menit terasa normal.
Menjadi samar. “A book I read” lemah; “Atomic Habits, which I read on my commute last spring” kuat. Nama, tempat, dan momen spesifik memberimu lebih banyak untuk dibicarakan.
Mengabaikan poin “explain”. Ini adalah tempat di mana kamu menunjukkan pendapat dan alasan, yang baik untuk koherensi dan kosakata.
Membacakan jawaban yang dihafal. Pembicaraan yang dihafal cenderung terdengar datar dan sering melenceng dari kartu. Hafalkan struktur dan frasa berguna, bukan naskah.
Menulis kalimat dalam satu menit. Kamu tidak akan memiliki waktu untuk membacanya. Kata kunci saja.

🎯 Cara Berlatih Topik-Topik Ini

Setelah kamu mengetahui jenis kartu, inilah cara untuk mempersiapkan:

Langkah 1: Kategorikan, Jangan Hafalkan

Perhatikan seberapa banyak topik saling tumpang tindih:

“A friend” dan “A person who influenced you” → orang yang sama, sudut pandang berbeda
“A quiet place” dan “A place to relax” → tempat yang sama, fokus yang berbeda
“A hobby” dan “Something new you learned” → bisa menjadi aktivitas yang sama

Siapkan 5-6 cerita kuat yang dapat disesuaikan dengan berbagai topik.

Langkah 2: Latihan Persiapan 1 Menit

Untuk setiap topik:

Atur timer selama 1 menit
Catat bulleted points (bukan kalimat lengkap)
Bicaralah selama 2 menit

Ini persis seperti yang terjadi dalam ujian sebenarnya. Latihan dengan tekanan waktu.

Langkah 3: Rekam Dirimu Sendiri

Kamu tidak bisa memperbaiki apa yang tidak bisa kamu dengar. Merekam dapat mengungkap:

Kata pengisi (um, uh, you know)
Kesalahan tata bahasa
Masalah pengucapan
Jeda yang canggung

Langkah 4: Dapatkan Umpan Balik

Bagian tersulit dari latihan Speaking adalah mengetahui apakah kamu sedang meningkatkan.

Pilihan:

Gratis: Minta teman untuk mendengarkan
Berbayar: Jadwalkan sesi tutor
Teknologi: Gunakan aplikasi dengan analisis pengucapan

Latihan dengan Umpan Balik

Mengetahui jenis kartu adalah langkah pertama. Berlatih dengan umpan balik adalah yang meningkatkan skormu.

Lingo Copilot Speaking memungkinkanmu:

Tip Akhir

Kamu akan mendapatkan satu kartu, bukan 30. Namun jika kamu telah berlatih setiap tipe, dengan struktur yang kamu percayai dan beberapa cerita yang fleksibel, tidak ada yang akan mengejutkanmu pada kartu tersebut.

Setelah Part 2, penguji akan melanjutkan ke diskusi yang terkait dengan topikmu: panduan Part 3 kami menunjukkan cara menanganinya, dan panduan Part 1 mencakup wawancara pembuka. Untuk terus berbicara selama dua menit penuh, lihat tips kelancaran berbicara.

Semoga beruntung dengan ujianmu.
