🆕Twist someone’s arm
🔴To twist someone’s arm literally means to take a person’s arm and turn it around, which could be really painful if you take it exactly word for word. If your arm has been twisted it means that someone has done a great job of convincing you to do something you might not have wanted to to do.
And if you manage to twist someone else’s arm it means that you’re great at convincing them, and they’ve finally agreed to do something after you’ve been begging them.
☑️-“Jake, you should really come to the party tonight!”
-“You know I can’t, I have to hit the books (study).”
-“C’mon, you have to come! It’s going to be so much fun and there are going to be lots of girls there. Please come?”
-“Pretty girls? Oh all right, you’ve twisted my arm, I’ll come!”

📌Ingliz tilida muloqotni oshirish uchun maslahatlar
✅Speak up
☝🏻Sometimes, students mumble and speak very softly because they are nervous or unsure of their words. Use simple, correct language rather than complicated vocabulary and speak loudly enough that the examiner does not have to strain to hear you. This indicates self-confidence and command of the language.
✅ Don’t use slang
☝🏻You have 11 minutes to display the best English you know in all the years that you have been learning English! Choose to be formal rather than informal.

🤔Nma uchun speakingdan 6.0 ball dan yuqoriroq natijaga erishaolmayapmam🤷♂🤷♀
✅Here are some strategies to getting a Band 7 in IELTS Speaking.
☝🏻Start with finding out your weak areas. To do this you may need feedback from a teacher.
⚫️Is your grammar the main issue or is it vocabulary? or both?
⚫️What exactly is the issue with your grammar and vocabulary?
🔴Work on fixing your weak areas, if you have trouble with articles, plurals, subject verb agreement, prepositions, infinitives, gerunds and so on, then learn the rules. You can find resources online or get a good grammar book.
🔴if you have a limited range of grammar and vocabulary, you will need to learn how to express yourself with past tenses, present tenses, conditionals, relative clauses, phrasal verbs, collocations and so on.
❇️Be very careful with idioms, you have to know exactly when to use them in the right context, if they seem memorised you will lose marks. My advice is to learn collocations and phrasal verbs instead.
👌🏻Share this with your friends! and help them also IELTS effectively!

🔸 How would you describe your mother?
🔹 Onangizni qanday tasvirlagan bo'lardingiz?
🔴 It's really difficult to describe her in words, but the only thing I can say now is that she has a heart of gold; extremely kind-hearted and devoted to family. She has done incredible things over the years for all members of my family.
🔵 Ularni so'zlar bilan tasvirlash juda qiyin, lekin hozir ayta oladiganim shuki ularning oltindan yuraklari bor, juda mehribon va oilalariga o'zlarini bag'ishlaganlar. Yillar davomida ular oilamizning har bir a'zosiga aql bovar qilmaydigan narsalarni qilganlar.

How the Test Date Affects Your Speaking Results
There is one thing that you should know about IELTS before you choose a test date. You may be surprised to know that your results depend not only on your knowledge, being hardworking or lucky, but also on the day you choose to take your exam and speaking interview. The reason is new topics are added every 4 months.
How do we know? Several years ago we read on one reliable IELTS portal that topics change every 4 months. The only way to understand whether this claim was true or false was to do some research and make long-term observations. It took us almost 2 years of observation, collecting and comparing data, searching the Internet and talking to our IELTS students to confirm that this rule exists.
So, at any given moment, you have to review about 150 topics to be fully prepared for your test! But they aren’t always the same. New IELTS speaking topics are added every 4 months, at the beginning of January, May and September. 50% of previously used topics remain the same (it's about 70-75 topics). 50% of topics become old and are removed from the list. And the new ones are added instead of the old topics (it's about 70-75 topics). So the worst dates are at the beginning of September, May and January. You will know just half of the topics, and the other half will be a surprise.
The best dates to take the test are right before the topics change, that is for the end of December, April and August. This will allow you to know 100% topics, and you will have enough time to prepare ALL of them. Do you agree that you will be more prepared if you have 4 months to practise something than when you find out about it one week before your exam?
