IELTS Speaking Part-2 Someone who is a good parent

Describe someone who is a good parent

You should say:

·       Who the person is

·       What he/she does

·       Why the person is a good parent

·       And explain how you feel about him/her


Oh, this is an easy question for me to answer because my mum is an absolutely amazing parent. In fact, I would go as far as saying, her parenting skills are second to none. Firstly, let me tell you a little about her. She is in her mid fifties, but is still young at heart. We’re into the same kind of things and have loads in common such as similar tastes in music and films.

What does she do? Well, she has been working as a doctor for the last 20 years. I find it incredible that she has brought up a family and had a high-powered job for the past two decades. As a working mum, it’s hard to be a hands-on parent, but she has achieved this. She has never missed a parents’ evening or a sports day at my school. Moreover, she has never once complained about her workload or getting up in the middle of the night to look after me when I am sick. I don’t know how she does it.


One of the things that I admire about her is the fact that she has always been and still is incredibly supportive, I would go as far as saying she is my rock, but she has never been a tiger mum or helicopter parent. She is there when I need her, but, simultaneously, gives me space.

She is my role model and if I ever have kids of my own in the future, in the distant future I must add, I hope that I can emulate her. If I have a problem, she is extremely approachable and she is fairly easy-going and does not generally get angry. For me, communication is key and what I have with my mum is great communication. We never go to bed on an argument, well to be honest, we rarely have a crossed word, but I know if we did, we would be able to resolve it.

Oh, this is an easy question for me to answer because my mum is an absolutely amazing parent. In fact, I would go as far as to say her parenting skills are second to none. Let me tell you a bit about her: she is in her mid-fifties but is still young at heart. We share many interests, such as similar tastes in music and films, which makes our bond even stronger.

She has been working as a doctor for the last 20 years, and it’s incredible how she has managed to balance a demanding career with raising a family. Despite her busy schedule, she has never missed a parents' evening or a sports day at my school. She’s always been there for me, even in the middle of the night when I was sick. Her dedication is truly inspiring, and she has never once complained about her workload or the sacrifices she has had to make.

What I admire most about her is her unwavering support. She is my rock, but she’s not a tiger mum or a helicopter parent. She knows when to give me space while always being there when I need her. Her approach to parenting is balanced, and she communicates with me openly. We rarely have conflicts, and when we do, we always manage to resolve them before going to bed.

If I ever have children in the future, I hope to emulate her. She’s approachable, easy-going, and has set a remarkable example of what it means to be a supportive and loving parent. I feel incredibly fortunate to have her as my mum, and her parenting style has shaped who I am today.
