Suggestion

There are many possible choices for this topic but the easiest is probably the Olympic Games. This topic is easy because there are many different features that you can talk about. Some people might argue that the Olympic Games is not actually a public event: in fact this topic is quite confusing (even to an examiner), because the word "public event" is so vague and unspecific. For this reason it is perfectly acceptable to select the Olympic Games.
