Ielts speaking part 2 a photo that you like

It makes sense to prepare some written answers to some trickier part 2 questions. How would you deal with this topic?

“give an example of a photo you like”

Here is an answer with some gaps for you to consider:

“I like the family photo that sits on _____________ (where it is at the moment). It was taken in ___________, two weeks before I moved overseas (when it was taken). In that photo, my parents sit at the front while my brother and I _________________ , smiling (what you are doing). It truly captured the moment when my family spent happy time together, which also became the last time I saw them in person (why it is special). Because of that physical distance, I take this photo everywhere with me to feel the tangible connection with my family (why it’s important) “.
