A chunk of language is a group of 2 or 3 words that often go together.
I don’t recommend you memorise complete IELTS Speaking answers, but you can memorise short chunks. This can really help your fluency and confidence. Here are some simple examples of chunks based on this short
- I tend to drink _______
- We’re a family of _______
- I’ll typically have _______
And here is the complete dialogue
