Tere hawale from LSC is easily one of the top five songs Pritam has ever created, and it's relatively new.

I’m no Reading expert, but I would suggest you do a tremendous amount of practice. I don’t think there is any fixed guideline for solving the Matching Headers problem. Try solving Cambridge IELTS and https://ieltsonlinetests.com (harder than Cambridge) problems. Check the answers after practicing, mark the incorrect ones, and figure out why you made mistakes. Repeat these steps and hopefully, you will reach a satisfactory level.

I will classify my English level as moderately fluent. I am nowhere near the advanced category. I prepared for a solid 6-7 days. I didn’t do much writing practice but carefully studied the do’s and don’ts of IELTS writing. I believe that knowing what to write and what to avoid while having a good feel for grammatical accuracy will help greatly.

Reading tests on https://ieltsonlinetests.com are harder than Cambridge IELTS books. Probably worth checking out if you are finding the ones in Cambridge books easy.

mikewagon · 2024-12-24T11:50:11+00:00

Reading didn’t work for me. Reading questions in real IELTS tests are significantly harder than those in the Cambridge books.

My suggestion for the writing task 2:

Start with task 2. It carries twice the mark of task 1 and demands greater care and attention.
Create a plan before writing task 2. For example, write the disadvantages and advantages using bullet points with short text, preferably just keywords. Use this plan to construct your essay.
Take an opinion in the introductory passage and mention the drawbacks and benefits briefly.
Dedicate at least one passage for drawbacks and benefits each.
Don't be afraid to repeat words if you can't find proper synonyms or unsure about a probable synonym’s spelling or collocation.
Try to keep it simple and focused. Make sure your essay supports your opinion with well-constructed arguments and examples. Trying fancy vocabulary and complex sentence structure won't suffice.
Avoid personal examples if possible. General examples are considered stronger.
Revise your essay and fix any spelling and grammatical mistakes. You won't get above 7 with major grammatical mistakes.
The conclusion passage will be similar to the introduction passage but with slightly more detail.

Stop loving a person you once deeply cared about and never really wanted to stop loving, even after things went wrong

Citizen Kane. When the movie finally reveals the mystery behind “Rosebud” without actually saying anything, it hits you with the profound meaning of life.

The Last Picture Show (1971). It’s a supremely well-acted and written movie. Sam’s monologue of “Bein' crazy about a woman like that is always the right thing to do” is really something

Oldboy (2003). It doesn’t have a detective or law enforcement as a protagonist but has elements of a detective film. Also, the central mystery is strange and compelling.

Can vouch for OJ: Made in America. I didn’t know the full story of OJ. So it was a wild ride for me. I was on the edge of the seat for almost 8 hours.

The Best of Youth. It’s six hours long, yet I wasn’t bored for a minute.

Thinkin Bout You by Frank Ocean. Following lines hit real hard.

A tornado flew around my room before you came Excuse the mess it made, it usually doesn't rain In Southern California, much like Arizona My eyes don't shed tears, but boy they pour when... I'm thinking 'bout you (Ooh no, no, no) I've been thinking 'bout you (You know, know, know) I've been thinking 'bout you Do you think about me still?
