📘 New to Part 2? Read the 6-step strategy and use the 2-minute timer

STEP 1 — First 10 seconds (prep)

Read all bullet points carefully. Choose the angle you know most about. Don't panic — every topic has something to say.

প্রথম ১০ সেকেন্ড: সব পয়েন্ট পড়ো, কোন দিক থেকে বলবে ঠিক করো।

STEP 2 — Next 40 seconds (notes)

Write 3–4 key words for each bullet. Don't write full sentences — just triggers. Use the paper provided in the exam.

পরের ৪০ সেকেন্ড: প্রতিটি পয়েন্টের জন্য ২–৩টি keyword লেখো।

STEP 3 — Last 10 seconds (breathe)

Take a breath. You have notes. Start with a strong opener — "I'd like to talk about..." or "The place I want to describe is..."

শেষ ১০ সেকেন্ড: একটু শ্বাস নাও, শুরু করার বাক্য মাথায় রাখো।

STEP 4 — Structure your 2 minutes

Pick one of two reliable templates so you never go blank:

A · Past → Present → Future
e.g. "I started this hobby five years ago… now I do it every weekend… in the future I plan to…"

B · Problem → Solution → Opinion
e.g. "There was an issue with… we tackled it by… overall I feel that this experience taught me…"

২ মিনিটের জন্য একটি কাঠামো বেছে নাও — অতীত→বর্তমান→ভবিষ্যৎ অথবা সমস্যা→সমাধান→মতামত।

STEP 5 — When you run out of ideas

Compare with someone else — "Unlike my brother, who…"
Describe feelings — "What really stood out for me was how I felt…"
Speculate about the future — "I imagine that in a few years…"

আইডিয়া শেষ হলে — তুলনা করো, অনুভূতি বর্ণনা করো, অথবা ভবিষ্যৎ নিয়ে ভাবো।

STEP 6 — Common mistakes examiners notice

Reading bullets word-for-word instead of speaking naturally.
Stopping before 1.5 minutes — they will let you talk for the full 2.
Going off-topic — always tie back to the bullet points.

সাধারণ ভুল: bullet পয়েন্ট পড়া, ১.৫ মিনিটের আগে থামা, বা টপিকের বাইরে চলে যাওয়া।
