IELTS Speaking Part 2 Checklists

(TESOL Worksheets--IELTS Speaking, Part 2)
[These are checklists for practicing speaking part 2 in an IELTS preparation class.  These are checklists I made up to complement the material presented in the textbook Complete IELTS, and it probably works best in conjunction with that textbook, but I think they can also stand independently, so I'm posting them here.  The students practice speaking part 2 in pairs.  One student is given a prompt card, and speaks for 2 minutes, while the other student evaluates the first student in terms of the checklist.  The checklists encourage students to make use of useful language.  This useful language does not apply to all speaking part 2 prompts, but it applies to some of them.
Google versions here (drive, docs, pub) and here (drive, docs, pub).]
