I decided to make a short post on how some IELTS channels, sadly popular ones too, making vocab posts featuring English words, phrases, sentences and their "native" alternatives.
However good their intentions may be, the creators of such posts are not only misinforming English learners but also in some cases creating room for pointless discussions between students and their teachers. [Good intentions, bad ideas]
Let me illustrate my point with one recent post I came across which compared "relax" with "unwind" in terms of their practicality. As someone who spent a decent amount of time interacting with natives, I don't recall a single time when they used "unwind" instead of "relax". They might use it every once in a while, but other than that, the use of "unwind" is fairly uncommon, and as such "relax" is common and "unwind" is uncommon as far as their frequency goes. And calling one "non-native" and the other "native" is downright wrong.
Well again, I understand that IELTS takers should demonstrate their language skills by showcasing their vocabulary and grammar range. But this very requirement should not create the unjustified urge to use words to show off, as the result of it sometimes can be word misuse (something that really puts the examiners off). The mastery of using words naturally, in the right context, is something that comes with years of experience and constant exposure to authentic English.
This post is not intended to discredit some IELTS channels, rather provide more insights into the situation.
We are all here to learn and it is done best when there are diverse perspectives to learn from.
Peace✌️

The first graph illustrates the predicted sales of two Turkish companies that manufacture jeans for the next year, while the pie chart compares their market share in relation to other companies in the same year.
Overall, for most of the year, Jack & Jones Co. is set to produce more pairs of jeans than Mango Co. It is also clear that both companies reach their highest production capacity in December. Moreover, the pie chart estimates that the combined share of both companies is expected to make up a significant proportion.
Focusing firstly on the bar graph, the figure for Mango Co. in January month of the next year is predicted to be around 150,000, while that of the other company is forecast to be 3 times that number, at 450,000 pairs. The data for the former company is predicted to grow gradually for the next 7 months, before plateauing at 500,000 pairs during August-November. Interestingly, Jack & Jones Company will show an increasing trend too, but is expected to level off over June-August at about 400,000. In the final month, this company is forecast to produce roughly 900,000 pairs of jeans, while the other company is estimated to manufacture 300,000 pairs fewer.
As for the pie chart, the market share of Jack & Jones Co. will be 30%, whereas that of Mango Co. is predicted to be a fifth. Meanwhile, other companies in Turkey will make up the rest of the market share.

Technological progress in the past century has its negative effect, despite its remarkable contribution. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Although there have been immense advances in technology over the last century, they are seen as a change for the worse. I believe that it has been both a positive and negative development in equal measure.
In terms of medicine, new devices and techniques have been invented. The invention of biotechnology can be wonderful, for example, for couples who cannot have children due to infertility. However, the effects of medical intervention into natural processes should be examined by further research to be fully safe before people can go down that route.
Another remarkable technological development is the invention of the internet. It surely allowed us to communicate more easily, carry out transactions, telecommute and study online, cutting down on the costs of transportation and saving time. Yet, with these developments, new types of crime, such as identity theft, hacking, and fraud appeared. In addition, people tended to become lazier and less literate due to this technology.
Finally, perhaps one of the most notable technological developments has been in transportation. Goods can now be transported over vast distances in a small amount of time via airlines, so people now enjoy better varieties of clothes and products. Nevertheless, the issues of overconsumption and a tendency to lead a materialistic lifestyle have accompanied this development.
All in all, the last century has, by all means, presented new technological inventions in many areas, all of which serve to benefit people. Nonetheless, these developments are a double-edged sword, since they brought about the negatives as well.

The pie chart shows the main reasons for land degradation globally while the table elaborates more on the causes of this issue within North America, Europe and Oceania.
In general, farming practices have been found to account for most of the land degradation worldwide. Furthermore, while Europe is most affected by this phenomenon, North America is shown to be least affected among the regions listed.
Focusing on the main features of the pie chart, deforestation and overgrazing account for virtually the same proportions of land degradation in the world, with 30% and 35% respectively. In stark contrast, other factors have been proven to make up a mere 7% of global land degradation, which is four times as little as degradation caused by overcultivation.
As for the individual regions in question, deforestation is responsible for less than 2% of land degradation in North America and Oceania while in Europe it accounts for just under 10% of this issue. Interestingly, overcultivation has zero effect on land in Oceania although it makes up over a tenth of degradation combined in the other regions. Conversely, Oceania seems to suffer most from over-grazing in the form of land degradation with the percentage standing at around 11%.

A lot of people ask me for reliable centers in Tashkent as I used to teach in Tashkent. However, I did not often give those people a definite answer. I have a good news for girls in Tashkent. For some known reasons, mostly due to the fact that schools in Uzbekistan are mixed schools, girls are limited in their ability to acquire knowledge; yet, they deserve this like anyone else or even more. Paradoxically, Nisa school is breaking these stereotypes as well as keeping them, but giving girls a valuable chance to grow. It is something new. Something that is unheard of before.
If girls want to learn English in Tashkent, this place is a must go.

The book’s answer to this question is NG. I’d choose False though.
It is better for children if the whole family including aunts, uncles and grandparents are involved in a child’s upbringing, rather than just their parents.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Some people argue that children benefit when all the members of family take part in their upbringing instead of just having their parents to do this job. While there are advantages to having older family relatives around to raise children, I believe that it is not an entirely good idea to encourage other family members to be involved.
One the one hand, there are some reasons why other members of family should also be engaged in the raising process. First, the involvement of the extended family in raising a child allows parents to learn from more seasoned and mature parents such as their uncles and aunts. This is especially true if the parents of children are young couples. Uzbekistan is an example of a country where early marriage is mainstream and where inexperienced couples tend to rely on their elders to nurture their children. Second, since most families today have become a dual income household, they are going to need someone to babysit their children. In this sense, parents can seek the help of older relatives to look after their children when they are away working.
However, in my view, having too many people involved in the upbringing of children can lead to certain problems. One reason why it may not be sensible to involve the extended family in bringing up a child is that older people tend to be rather superstitious. Instead of following the way of science when children are unwell, grandparents, in particular, might turn to alternative medicine which can leave the wellbeing of their children to chance. Another reason is the fact that parents are likely to have a difference of opinion with older family relatives on how to raise a child. In fact, old people in some places disapprove of the way young parents raise their children, such as when they use electronics to keep their children busy or feed them processed food. This sort of disagreements can be a breeding ground for conflicts that might harm the family fabric.
In conclusion, although some benefits can be accrued to children when older family relatives take part in the upbringing process, I am of the opinion that it should not be regarded as a completely positive decision.

Essay A
The maps show the layout of Paradise Island in the past and at present.
Overall, while in the past the island was more of a scientific research area, it has been turned into a recreational zone.
Focusing on the original features of the island, first, it was accessible through a pier from its west. There was also a scientific station right next to the pier and a natural spring to the far opposite side of it. The island also featured a beach in its north-west part.
Over the past years, the island has been transformed into a recreational spot for tourists. The pier has been extended to allow access to the island by larger ships. In addition, the scientific station has been removed to make way for a hotel complex with its own swimming pool on the side. More to the center of the island, there is now an open restaurant which is connected to the hotel with a pathway. To the east of the new restaurant, a BBQ spot can be found. The old natural spring has remained unchanged, and a café has been built to its south. The amenities on the island have become more accessible with the construction of a cycle path network all around it. There is also now a scenic lookout in the far north-east of the island. Finally, swimming activities are now allowed on the beach.
