part two
In part two, the examiner will give you a topic on a card to talk about for 1 to 2 minutes. You would have about 1 minute to take some notes. After you've written it down, the examiner will ask you some questions. You'll be asked about the object that is important to you, or a major festival from your country, or maybe to describe an interesting building.

-what you did
