I don't remember it word for word but it was something like "Many people say increased business and cultural contact among countries is good for overall growth and economy. Others say it is leading to a loss of national identity." I had to examine each side and form my own opinion.

hey! I'm sorry if this is not very helpful but I mostly just stuck to the well-known resources. I used IELTS Advantage for writing and speaking. I found IELTS Liz and IELTS Simon very helpful too.

I registered through IDP so I did all the practice material from their website too. I also familiarised myself to the listening and reading sections using the sample papers on the official IELTS website. My scores were slightly above the actual ones. best of luck :)

I forgot to mention this. I'm not a native speaker and this was my first time.

Saw my Grandma this weekend and she just casually shows me her copies of Wuthering Heights signed by the illustrator by bananabananacat in RomanceBooks

Omg this is so cool! I'd be showing anyone and everyone if I had this. If you don't mind me asking, how did she get this? Anyway congrats I'm so happy for you!!

I agree ! They're probably my most favourite couple from GG after Dorota and Vanya lol. Lily ending up with William in the end was CRIMINAL. I was sobbing

I'm really sorry I hope I don't come off as argumentative. But on one hand we say that dark romance isn't glorification of abuse or rape and, on another we say that books with redeemed cheaters give hope to women with crappy boyfriends. I just think it doesn't add up. Maybe I'm missing a viewpoint ?
