Pre-IELTS on Sunday 🔥

After a short break, I got back to IELTS prep and now working my way toward a band 9.0, which is exactly why the channel is not as active. 😄

Life's been quite tough for the past 5-6 months, and hopefully, I will get back my stability and can help you out online.

Those who've been following me for a long time; thank you guys for your loyalty and I will make up for it very soon....

Every year, several languages die out. Some people think that this is not important because life will be easier if there are fewer languages in the world.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

8.5 - 9.0 essay with 278 words 👇

The extinction of languages is a concerning topic; however, given seamless communication due to fewer languages, some say that the topic is not as important. I largely disagree with this view, as language is a tool designed for more than simple communication.

It is true that certain aspects of life might be more straightforward when there are fewer languages, as is the case with transnational trade. Unified ways of communication eliminate linguistic barriers, stimulating economic growth. Equally compelling is education. Given that some major languages, including English, dominate the educational arena, the extinction of minority languages would not be concerning, as people can still satisfy their intellectual curiosity through major means. That said, these two aspects cannot justify the disappearance of languages for an administrative advantage, given the multifaceted nature of languages.

For one, language is a cultural vessel, and its disappearance may translate into the erosion of cultures, too. This is alarming primarily because homogenous societies, albeit advantageous to some extent, strip people of minority communities of their sense of belonging to their cultures and countries. This, by extension, accelerates cultural extinction, proving that the languages on the brink of disappearance warrant closer consideration and care. Beyond that, languages shape unique perspectives on the world, and a decline in linguistic diversity can equate to outlooks that are not only culturally but also intellectually homogenous.

In conclusion, while fewer languages may facilitate seamless communication and trade among people and their countries, this does not necessarily mean that language extinction is not an area of concern. In fact, languages are meant to serve beyond basic communication, preserving cultures and nurturing unique perspectives. I therefore disagree with the proposed view.

Sizlarga bir story aytib bersam 😉

PS: O'zbek tilida juda kam post qilaman, shu uchun yaxshilab o'qinglar.

Hozir ba'zi paytlarda qiynalayotkan aka ukalarni ko'raman, va men ham shu boshqichda bo'lganman yoki hozir ham shu bosqichdaman. Eng quvonarlisi, ular ham ishlashadi, universitetda o'qishadi va kursimga ham kelishadi.

Xursand bo'ladigan qismi ular qiynalayotkani emas; balki qiynalib turib ham taslim bo'lmasligida. Ba'zilarga o'xshab, hayotim uchun boshqalar aybdor demasligida.

2022-2023 yillari qishda Samarqadda bo'lganman, ofitsantlik qilardim har kuni o'qishdan oldin. U yerda qish paytida juda qattiq qor yoqqan. O'shanda ko'chani o'rtasiga chiqib qorga belanib osmonga qarab, men ham hayotimni o'zgartiraman, qo'limdan keladi deganimni hali ham kulib eslayman.

Oradan 3 yilcha o'tdi; ozmi ko'pmi hayotimni o'zgartira oldim; hech bo'lmasa sababini qilyapman.

Agar siz ham hozir hayotizni bulutli davrlarida bo'lsangiz, nasib tez orada harakatdan to'xtamaganingiz uchun o'tib ketadi.

Ilm orqasidan, boshqalarga ko'maklashishdan to'xtamang.

Kamronbek.

They almost gave me a stroke. 🫦

1. Exposure to authentic spoken English

Hey, we gotta admit that many textbook idioms are perfectly correct, but they rarely appear as frequently in natural conversation as IELTS books might lead you to believe, such as 'over the moon' / 'night owl' / 'early bird'. Such chunks, when used in the speaking test, make you look awkward, as native speakers or non-native speaking examiners are already proficient at differentiating whose English is authentic or not. I admit that I used 'night owl' / 'early bird' or 'over the moon', which did not really help me.

2. Activation

What changed this has to do with my free time to watch movies and, most importantly, podcasts. I am not going to say: go watch Hormozi or an influencer. I usually watch podcasts hosting an athlete Larry Wheels or an actor Christian Bale or Joey Schweitzer ( I don't really admire these people, nor do I emulate their actions but language). This is because they have not built fame around podcasts but what they have done. The word choice among them is so precise that I feel like a beginner language learner.

I have been jotting down the chunks they use and trying to use them whenever I happen to take a speaking mock test. Look at the process: exposure / trial / activation. I can really feel that sting of progress moving with me in my spoken English. Although most people around me don't use English as much as I do, I am blessed to have a selected few to actually discuss really challenging topics.

3. Truth

I have been doubling down on this IELTS and English thing for the past 2 years now, and the progress in it has never been linear as IELTS gurus tell to their subscribers. Speaking and Writing are both productive skills, which take quite an obscene amount of time until activated.
