Hi guys! Thanks so much for all your kind words! So happy to hear about your great progress and wonderful scores :) Today I wanted to ask for your help - with the disastrous war that is going on in Europe right now, Ukraine needs our support. After Russia invaded Ukraine this February (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine), Russians started massive bombardment of living districts, hospitals, schools and even nuclear plants, killing innocent civilians (including kids). Ukraine is my second home and every day I hear from my loved ones about those terrible actions of the Russian army… ​ Please help to stop this war by donating to Ukrainian defense - bank.gov.ua/en/news/all/natsionalniy-bank-vidkriv-spetsrahunok-dlya-zboru-koshtiv-na-potrebi-armiyi. 🇺🇦❤️ Everything helps! ​ And I will keep supporting you by creating more videos (coming up very soon 😉)! Peace to everyone!

hi esha my name is ashish i have ielts exam on may 11th please can you tell me how to crack the reading and writing task 2.

[@TheVirus199613]

For reading, try to practice as much as you can, and make sure you know where you're going wrong, for me it was T/F/NG. If you see a pattern then check specific tips for that. Writing is mostly time management, so make sure you are able to complete the task within the time limit. Also try to have a flow, and a distinct structure. It's a little late to start with vocabulary so try improving on the words you already know.
