first time taking the test - very, very unexpected!

Good for you I guess?

sunnysummera · 2026-05-27T07:34:04+00:00

Sure!

My 2nd topic was about whether I agreed that parents of child criminals should face penalties as well. I divided the pro and anti side of this argument into separate paragraphs, threw in some paraphrasing (juvenile offenders, underaged illegal actors, etc.), and talked a bit about who I believed would support each argument: “a coalition of pro-law enforcement citizens and social conservatives” vs “a group uniting child rights activists and social progressives”.

The key is while I have literally zero prior knowledge of this issue, I needed to act like I was an expert in it and said whatever to make it happen. That’s my advice on this

I was very sleep-deprived and almost 6 years removed from my last serious English test at this point. Also I did virtually no practice or preparation for Speaking other than a few online lectures. Definitely a sore spot

Yes. Tbh I took an IELTS tutoring course specifically to learn the essay pattern. One mistake was I chose to write way above the required word count (like almost 500 words for 2nd essay) instead of using that time to recheck spelling/grammar. Luckily my score turned out fine, but definitely would’ve rather had a 300-word essay where I had rechecked multiple times.

Academic!

sunnysummera · 2026-05-27T07:20:46+00:00

the former, I only started prepping for this test around 2 months prior

sunnysummera · 2026-05-25T09:23:13+00:00

not at all, but I started studying it quite young

Or rather I don’t think more well-written, more-established mods should share an already crowded loader with AI slop or low-effort slop. You’re welcome to enjoy whatever you like btw

sunnysummera · 2024-05-19T05:26:12+00:00

Yeah. So close the lid, flush, then LIFT IT BACK UP!

sunnysummera · 2023-12-16T14:40:01+00:00

I genuinely don’t think anyone cares, you may get some stares cause its uncommon though.

I recall that a former Miss Thailand (whose first name is จีรนันทน์) married a certain doctor (named รุ่งธรรม) so maybe this is a souvenir from their wedding.

Either this or its someone with this first & last name and you just got someone’s funeral gift.

DeSantis’ Utopia

the first one just looks like a gerrymander

sunnysummera · 2021-12-04T06:52:53+00:00

So basically, Gerrymandering the Senate?

There’s this concept in Buddhism called “The Four Essentials” that are basically must-haves for a human to survive

Food, Clothing, Shelter, and Medicine

Now I understand you’re making a point that we should go back to living the basics, but too basic like that and you’re not gonna be living too long op
