Well, in reality, I don't believe in hacks! Progress is always the result of hard work, dedication and clear strategy. In this post, I'll give you the strategy and will trust you on bringing the work and dedication to the table?

Okay?

So, your IELTS reading success is basically a compilation of 3 components:
βœ… Wide vocabulary and grammar range
βœ… Clear approach to every question type
βœ… Speed reading

Check cards to read the strategy for every component! Check out the Rocket IELTS course here.

Also, let me know in the comments if you haven't had progress with Reading lately. Let's find a way out of it πŸ™ŒπŸ»

😳 EMBARRASSING PRONUNCIATION MISTAKES

Do you know how important clear pronunciation is? What if I tell you that pronunciation is not the same as an accent?

Even though having an accent is absolutely fine, having poor pronunciation can be damaging to your relationships πŸ™ˆ

✨ LIVE IELTS SPEAKING PRACTICE

Today I've run a live lesson for 25 students from an Indian school called IELTS Cafe. We had a blast!

Not only did we practice real-difficulty IELTS questions, but also laughed a lot. Because IELTS is fun! πŸ™ŒπŸ»

πŸ“Some things I have pointed out from the practice:

1) don't use overly complicated words! Using "plethora" in a casual answer about movies will make you sound out of context.

2) don't use "very" with strong adjectives like "overwhelmed" or "jubilant". Use "absolutely" instead. "Very" is for weaker adjectives.
For example: "I was absolutely jubilant to see you, you make me very happy!"

⚑️ WHERE TO FIND A SPEAKING PARTNER?

This has been one of the most pressing questions among all English learners for a long time. Almost a year ago I created the WSE Speaking Partners Matching service that would match you with another person who fits your criteria for practice. For free.

This service was a huge success! Thousands of people have used and loved it! ❀️ They found friends, reliable partners and study-buddies all over the world.

However, there were some disadvantages to the initial system - we had to match people by hand, it took time (days!) and sometimes partners had trouble connecting to each other because of the time difference or other obstacles.

I have been thinking about possible improvements to the service and ways of making it more flexible and accessible for everyone, without having to wait. Many people requested an app to meet others and talk on their phone on the spot ...

So I am now proudly introducing a collaboration between Speak Peak and World Speaks English! We have teamed up to bring you a new exciting tool to get matched with speaking partners in seconds and start talking right away! πŸŽ‰

The matching will continue to be free and is now accessible on your mobile device (iOS or Android) - just follow the link and sign up!

See you at Speak Peak! πŸ‘‹πŸ»πŸ’œ

😒 NO MONEY FOR STUDIES ABROAD?

Most of my friends have studied abroad and this experience has truly changed their lives. For example, Lisa from Argentina who landed the job of her dreams after she got band 7.5 on IELTS πŸ™Š

However, studying abroad costs a lot. I want to introduce those who are tight on money to Lendorse. It helps talented students to fund their studies abroad and develop careers in Europe.

The best thing about Lendorse is that they give you money that cover study fees and living costs, but you pay them back from the salary you get only when you're employed!

In addition to money, they provide mentorship through career advice, CV boosting, and networking ❀️

A bit more facts on them:
- no debt, no interest, no collateral
- you get 2000+ EUR
- transparent conditions
- you don't pay when you don't earn
- pay back only if annual salary is above a certain limit

How cool does it sound?!
They also gave special conditions to all WSE members β€” free career advice session with founders (London School of Economics, Uni St.Gallen, Uni Mannheim). Don't lose the chance!
HUGE LIFE UPDATE β€” I QUIT MY JOB! πŸ’₯

β€” give career tips
β€” reveal why I quit my job
β€” tell what a product manager in IT does
β€” demonstrate what career perspectives IELTS gives
and much more πŸ˜‰

I've never shared so much about my work, so fasten your seatbelts!
