​​πŸ’₯ IELTS READING BOOTCAMP

I figured that many students struggle with their Reading on IELTS, while I think this is the easiest module! To fix this injustice I decided to conduct a 3-day long training on Reading for free.

What?! Free? 🀯

Yes! Even though I am very busy, I decided to make time for you guys and help with the Reading skills. Thank me later.

In the bootcamp during Jan 23-25 we will:
- train real IELTS questions
- get reading tips
- get strategies for the best result
- involve in discussions and get feedback
- find authentic reading sources
- have one live lesson with me

Sounds incredible to be free! ⚑️

Wow, the live session about Reading strategies was fire πŸ”₯

We learnt about 3 pillars of IELTS Reading - the basis with which you will be able to solve any question on the test, worked with an authentic text with modern language about technology, trained many questions with explanations.

So much learning and improvement! I keep getting comments from members of the IELTS Reading bootcamp that they have tried the strategies and visibly improved results! 🌟

For those who did not catch the live stream, I share its recording - https://youtu.be/cWiGnOZt4Gc

Time flies, and the next Rocket IELTS course intake starts tomorrow, on Monday!

Jump into the most productive 1.5 months with total guidance from my side and ace IELTS at the first attempt! πŸŽ‰

The course is conducted on a cutting-edge online platform, with a native speaker from the UK, with 50+ unique video lessons, detailed feedback to homework, lots of support and effective practice!

In fact, you will get access to the online platform for 1 year, so feel free to log in whenever you have time, there is no pressure! The course is flexible and it is totally possible to complete it in your own pace.

πŸ’₯ Why almost all places are already sold out?

Well, it makes much more sense to join a guided course and achieve 7+ band score at the first attempt than spending years and lots of money on retaking the test. Doesn't it?

1) regular progress checks

2) step-by-step guidance for all task types

3) a personal coach who helps to reach the goal

4) a community of people who share the same aims and motivate each other

πŸ’ 'ALWAYS' FOR EMPHASIS?

Sometimes we want to stress something in a sentence. In order to put additional emphasis on a phrase, you can use the adverb 'always' in the beginning of the sentence, before the main verb. Usually this expression has a negative connotation - especially when highlighted in pronunciation.

πŸ’¬ He always eats seafood, but it's damaging his health!

πŸ’¬ My father always works late on Thursdays - I never get to see him!

The annoyance can be further underscored using Present Continuous with 'always' (which is a wild mix that is used almost exclusively for expressing annoyance):

πŸ’¬ He is always using my toothbrush, I can't stand it!

πŸ’¬ My rommate is always losing the keys, it's unbearable!

🌼 Paraphrase "I DON'T UNDERSTAND"

What talking to a person whose speech is not clear, instead of saying the usual, boring and basic "I don't understand" try to incorporate these phrases:

🌼 I am not following
β€” literally: I am not following your train of thought, I am lost in your arguments or ideas.

🌼 I did not catch that
β€” literally: I didn't catch the meaning.

🌼 Sorry, come again?
β€” literally: repeat what you said again.

🌼 Sorry, what did you say? / I beg your pardon!
β€” perfect for politely showing that you don't understand and want the speaker to repeat.

🌼 Hey, slow down!
β€” informal! You can say this to a friend so that they slow their speech and talk more clearly.

🌼 Hold on, what?
β€” informal! This will show that you didn't understand the last sentence.

I recreate the intonation of these paraphrased versions of "I don't understand" for you πŸ‘†πŸ»
