Sample Answer for IELTS Speaking Task 2: (For IELTS Speaking Band 7)
I am quite a healthy person and rarely face any health related issues. But here I would like to talk about a health related problem that I once experienced. One day it so happened that my book fell to the floor and as I bent down to pick it up, I developed a painful spasm in my back. It was so painful, that I could not even stand. I had to call out to my mother. She somehow managed to carry me to the bed. I do not know the reason why this nasty spasm developed. It might have developed due to bad posture, I presume.
Well, there were a number of things which I could not do due to this problem. I could not get up, nor could stand. In fact, I could not move at all. And yes, attending to my routine work was totally out of question. Moreover I had to miss my classes during this period. For these reasons, it was a very depressing and painful experience.
Furthermore, my well-wishers gave me many pieces of advice to remove the pain but nothing seemed to work. Finally my father decided that we should consult a bone specialist in order to overcome this problem. He prescribed certain medicines as well as instructed me to do certain exercises of the back. As a result, I started feeling better in about a week’s time. It was really an awful experience. At this point, I learnt, how important it was to maintain a correct posture. Although I learnt this the hard way.
