In today’s post, we are going to be reviewing the value of the PPF-Strategy, an approach that I (like many other IELTS teaching specialists) strongly advocate the use of, during part 2 of the speaking test. Let’s take a practical look at how it works. Describe the most beautiful natural scenery you have ever seen. You should say: - what it is - when and where you saw it - who you were with And explain why you think this is the most beautiful scenery you have ever seen. Past- …visiting the desert in Egypt was definitely one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Prior to that, the only sand I had seen had been on the beach in Benidorm, so the Sahara was a whole new world. We walked under the night sky which was truly breath-taking because of the endless stars you could see. Present- …I took loads of pictures while we were there, so my family and I often flick through them and reminisce about what a wonderful trip it was. We even have a little jar of Saharan sand sitting on our mantlepiece in the living room. My father collected it as a souvenir. Future- …I am actually planning on going back there later this year with some friends. It was great with my family, but with my friends it will be more of an adventure. We are going to sleep under the stars and we will probably arrange a long camel trek. It is going to be awesome!
