🔖 The Right Place to Shine

A father told his daughter, "Congrats on your graduation. I bought you a car a while back. I want you to have it now."

Before I give it to you, take it to a car dealer in the city and sell it. See how much they offer.”

The girl came back to her father & said: "They offered me $10,000 dollars because it looks very old"

Father said: "Ok, now take it to the pawn shop".

The girl returns to her father & said: "The pawn shop offered $1,000 dollars because it's a very old car & a lot of work done".

The father told her to join a passionate car club with experts & show them the car.

The girl drove to the passionate car club.

She returned to her father after a few hours & told him, “Some people in the club offered me $100k because its a rare car that's in good condition.”

Then the father said, "I wanted to let you know that you are not worth anything if you are not in the right place. If you are not appreciated, do not be angry, that means you are in the wrong place. Don't stay in a place where no one sees your value ."

The moral of the story : Know your worth and know where you are valued. A diamond doesn't shine on the bottom of a cave.

ℹ️ Tips and tricks on how to stay on topic

To make sure you stay on track in your IELTS Writing Task 2 essays, here are some helpful tips for you to keep in mind to score high in your IELTS test:

〰️ Understand the question: Before you start writing, fully understand the question. Identify the main points and what it's asking for. This will guide your essay and prevent you from going off-topic.

〰️ Plan your essay: Create a clear outline with the main ideas, supporting arguments, and examples you will use. This keeps you organised and focused on the task.

〰️ Stick to your thesis: Make a span thesis statement that directly addresses the question. Use it as a reference point throughout your essay to stay on topic.

〰️ Avoid going off track: While it's good to show your knowledge, ensure every point you include supports your main argument and is relevant to the assigned topic.

〰️ Proofread and revise: Take time at the end to review your essay. Check if your arguments and examples align with the main question and make any necessary changes to ensure coherence and cohesion.

〰️ Stay focused during writing: While writing your essay, keep reminding yourself about the main question and your thesis statement. This will help you stay on track and avoid getting off into unrelated areas.

〰️ Be mindful of word limits: IELTS essays have a word limit, and going off-topic may cause you to run out of space without adequately addressing the main question. Keep track of your word count to ensure you allocate enough space to cover the essential points.

〰️ Practice time management: During the exam, allocate time wisely for planning, writing, and revising. When you manage your time effectively, you reduce the chances of rushing and going off-topic due to time constraints.

〰️ Seek feedback from others: Before the actual exam, have someone review your practice essays. Ask them if your response stays on topic and effectively addresses the question. Constructive feedback can help you improve and refine your approach.

〰️ Focus on the main idea in each paragraph: Each paragraph should contribute to your overall argument and be centred around the main topic of the essay. Avoid introducing unrelated ideas within the same paragraph.

〰️ Use topic sentences: Start each paragraph with a clear topic sentence that relates back to the main question. This will help you stay organised and on point throughout your essay.

〰️ Practice staying on topic: Regularly practice writing essays on various topics and ensure that you consistently adhere to the given prompts. The more you practice, the better you will become at staying focused and avoiding deviations.

🔖 The Whisperer: A Tale of Experience and Expertise

A giant ship’s engine failed and was grounded ashore. Several weeks passed, and the ship's owners tried one expert after another. However, none of the experts could figure out how to fix the engine.

Then they brought in an old man who has been fixing ships since he was young. He carried with him a large bag of tools, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work.

He inspected the engine very carefully—top to bottom. Two of the ship's owners were present, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. Gently, he tapped something, and instantly, the engine lurched into life. It was fixed!

He put his hammer in his bag and after some pleasantaries, went away without asking for anything.
A week later, the owners of the ship received a letter from the old man demanding ten thousand dollars.

"What?! He barely did anything!" The owners exclaimed.

So they replied the old man: "Please, can you send us an itemized bill?"

Few days later, the old man sent this bill:

Tapping with a hammer =$2
Knowing where to tap = $9,998

Moral: Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort is the most important thing.

ℹ️ PUNCTUATION

The number one problem for learners is using commas. Here is a list of how and when to use them:

〰️ Use commas to separate items in a series:
• I saw a cat, a mouse, and a bird when I was walking.

〰️ Use a comma after introductory adverbs:
• Surprisingly, I saw a cat when I was walking.

〰️ Use a comma before all coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet) which links two independent clauses:
• I went walking, and I saw a cat.

〰️ Use a comma after a dependent clause starts a sentence:
• When I was walking, I saw a cat.

〰️ Use commas to offset appositives from the rest of the sentence:
• While I was walking, I saw a calico, a type of cat.

〰️ Use a comma for attributing quotes:
• The walker said, “I saw a cat.”

〰️ Use a comma between two adjectives that modify the same noun:
• I saw a small, cute cat when I was walking.

P.S: There are more rules for commas, but these rules rarely apply to IELTS task 2.

🔔 Ideas about "Traditional vs Modern"

➡️ Losing Traditional Skills
Because of industrialisation and global trade, many traditions have disappeared.
Global advertising encourages everyone to buy the same products.
Most products are now made in factories.
Machinery has replaced skilled human labour.
Factory work is boring and leaves people feeling unfulfilled.
Goods are produced very quickly and in large numbers.
Products are cheaper, which means that more people can buy them.

➡️ Examples
Clothes are mass produced in standard sizes.
People wear similar clothes, rather than traditional costumes.
Jeans and T-shirts are now worn throughout the world.
Historic buildings took skilled craftsmen years to build.
Modern concrete, steel and glass buildings are built in only weeks or months.
There are fewer people who can create hand-made goods.

➡️ Traditional Customs
Traditional customs are still important during weddings and religious festivals.
People wear traditional costumes and eat special foods.
It is important to maintain our different cultural identities.
We should celebrate festivals, teach traditional skills and protect historic places.

🔖 PENCIL

The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box.
"There are 5 things you need to know," he told the pencil, "Before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be."
"One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in Someone's hand."
"Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil."
"Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make." "Four: The most important part of you will always be what's inside."
"And Five: On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write."
The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.
Now replacing the place of the pencil with you. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.
One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God's hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.
Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems in life, but you'll need it to become a stronger person.
Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.
Four: The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside.
And Five: On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to do your duties.
Allow this parable on the pencil to encourage you to know that you are a special person and only you can fulfill the purpose to which you were born to accomplish.

📝 Moral: Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot make a change.

ℹ️ IELTS Writing Task 2: how to use your 40 minutes

You have 40 minutes for task 2, so try organising your time in the following way:

〰️ First 10 minutes: Read the question and make sure you understand what it is asking you to do. Write a plan for a 4-paragraph essay (introduction, 2 main paragraphs, conclusion) and spend most of the 10 minutes thinking of ideas for the 2 main paragraphs.

〰️ 5 minutes: Write your introduction: 2 sentences are enough (examples)

〰️ 20 minutes: Spend 10 minutes on each of your main body paragraphs. These are they most important part
of your essay, and the key to a high score.

〰️ Last 5 minutes: Write a quick conclusion (examples) then check your work.

MOUNTAIN

"A son and his father were walking on the mountains. Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Curious, he yells: "Who are you?"
He receives the answer: "Who are you?" And then he screams to the mountain: "I admire you!" The voice answers: "I admire you!" Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!" He receives the answer: "Coward!" He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?" The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention." Again the man screams: "You are a champion!"
The voice answers: "You are a champion!" The boy is surprised, but does not understand. Then the father explains: "People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE. It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is simply a reflection of our actions. If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart. If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence. This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life; Life will give you back everything you have given to it."
