If you're not sure what to say or what to write, give an example.
Add examples to support your ideas for IELTS writing task 2. Give examples from your life (like a story) if you don't know what to say during part 2 or part 3 of the speaking test.
Examiners like examples because they're interesting. From your point of view, examples can help you to keep talking, or to add a few extra words to your essay.
hello simon,
I think you are right that giving examples is much better because it will keep you on talking.

I sat for my exam today. The Task 2 question was : The function of the prisons is punishment. And prison life should be hard.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Hi Simon,
Thank you for your great advice. I am wondering just how much we can keep talking when providing an example so as to finish the idea? In other words, if my example is too long to talk to (as you termed a story), and results in missing the chance of answering more questions in any part, will that affect my score?
Thank you very much indeed!
