A movie might take 90 minutes to watch , however the length of movies are different . In this method you need to spend a double time or maybe 2 and half time minutes to spend on a 90 minute film to finish it. This might look boring at first but this works. Belive me 😉
Here is what you need to do :
1- grab a notebook and a pen
2- enable the English subtitle and play the movie
3- watch 1 or two minutes of it at first while you are taking a glance at the subtitle.
4- think about the words you didnt understand
5- move backward and listen to that sequence again and jot down the unknown word in your notebook.
(it might be a whole sentence and an idiom or a slang as well- write them whole down. )
6- watch 15 minutes of the film and split this 15 minute to five 3-minute parts. After its done. Pause the movie and grab you dictionary/google or mobile apps ( whatever you feel comfortable to look up the words meanings) . Make sure to use English to English Dictionaries.
7- find the word's definition, synonyms and the correct pronunciation and read an example of the word used in a sentence . (Write them all in your notebook)
This notebook will be a treasure in the future for you☺️☺️
8- when you found all the words and made sure everything is known , Go back to the beginning of that 15 minute part and watch it again . This time you will understand it way better..
9- go through the whole movie with the same method and finish it.
10- the next day, you have something more important to do 🤣🤣🤣 ❇️watch the film without the subtile ❇️😜
💗try to watch at least 5 movies per week and after a while you get surprised when you dont have to pause and look for the unknown words 💗
Plus, after a while you get used to different accents pronouncing the same word or sentence and that would be the time you can feel confident. You can go to the movies and watch a film with your friends and enjoy it 😍
Tip : try to select the movies from the same genre . Dont jump from " Interstellar" to "The Losts "series 😂

#question what's the difference between probability and Possibility?
🔵Probability
Probability refers to the likelihood of something happening. In other words, it can be said that the probability indicates the extent to which an event is likely to occur. It is usually measured by the ratio of the favorable cases to the whole number of cases that are possible. Hence, it can be said that the probability is a subset of possibility.
🔵Possibility
refers to the capability of taking place or being done. This is widely used even in our day today conversations. For an example when we say ‘Is there any possibility for you to come on a Saturday afternoon for the session?’,it suggests that the speaker is inquiring of the capability of the listener to be present for a particular cause. We would not use the term probability in such an atmosphere. This is mainly because the term possibility is used b people when inquiring of another individual’s capacity for doing something. However in the case of probability it is very much statistical.
🔵What is the Difference Between Probability and Possibility?
🔸A thing that may exist or happen is called as possibility whereas the occurrence of an event out of all sorts of possibility is called as probability
🔸Probability indicates the extent to which an event is likely to occur.
🔸Possibility is the universal set whereas probability is the subset.
🔸Possibility is surer to occur than probability.
🔸Possibility has its opposite in the word impossibility whereas probability has its opposite in the word improbability.
🔸Probability is a theory whereas possibility is a happening.
🔸Happenings have to combine together to make a probability a possibility.

📝 10 top tips for improving your spoken English
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
Practising speaking is one of the most fun and rewarding parts of learning English. Once you can speak even a little English, there are loads of ways to improve your skills quickly while having tons of fun. Here are ten top tips for improving your spoken English and having a great time while you do it!
🔸Speak, speak, speak!
Be confident and speak as often as possible to as many people as you possibly can! Do not be shy to make mistakes! The more you practice the better and more confident you will become in your pronunciation and vocabulary. Remember, speaking is a skill like learning a musical instrument or new sport – the only way you can get good is to actually do it!
🔸Use technology
A smartphone can be a powerful tool for learning languages. Use it to record yourself speaking then listen back to see how your English sounds to other people. Make the most of all your favourite productivity apps to organise your practice time and make a note of all the new words you learn.
🔸Listen
Listen to news bulletins and songs in English to listen to the pronunciation of words. You can also learn new words and expressions this way. The more you listen, the more you learn! Try copying what you hear to practise your pronunciation and learn which words in a sentence are stressed.
🔸Read out loud
Read the newspaper or a magazine out to yourself. You could even find a script for your favourite TV show and act it out! This is a great way to practise pronunciation because you only need to concentrate on making sure you English sounds great and don’t need to worry about sentence structure or grammar.
🔸Learn a new word every day
Choose a word you would like to work on and use practice it in different sentences. Use the word until you have learnt it and keep using it regularly.
🔸Watch films
Watch movies in English and pay attention to new vocabulary and pronunciation. Imitate the actors and have fun with it.
🔸Make friends
Make friends with English speakers or others learning to speak English and compare notes. Talk about things that you have learnt and exchange ideas.
@ieltsuzbekistan
🔸Do interesting activities in English
Take a cooking course in English or join a book club! Anything you enjoy doing, make sure you do it and communicate it in English. Using English to talk about things you enjoy will make practising a positive experience.
🔸Have a debate
Debate all the topics that interest you with friends in English. Try to use as much vocabulary as you can to get your point across and listen to the other arguments carefully so you can argue against them effectively.
🔸Use a dictionary
Online dictionaries often have audio examples so you can check your pronunciation and there are lots of great dictionary apps that you can take everywhere with you on your smartphone. Make sure not to become too reliant on these tools, though. Have a go at saying the words first then check afterwards to see if you were right!
So, with all these practice tips to choose from, which one are you going to try first?

How to watch a movie effectively with the aim to improve your listening skill
Majority of you students have encountered a situation when you're watching a film and you can't understand what exactly the characters of the movie are saying. This is really normal .Don't panic. And don't lose your hope. English is your second language and you are not supposed to understand the whole dialogs or talks between the actors/actresses when you start for the first time to listen to and watch a movie. This needs a great effort to improve your abilities to listen effectively while fully comprehended.
Today Im gonna teach you a method which is accepted and thought by a majority of IELTS instructors worldwide.
In your mother tongue while you're watching film, you normally understand the whole conversations and you don't need to pause the film and go backward and listen to it again unless there might be some distractions. But when it comes to a second language, because they may use some Slangs, connected speeches and complicated word you have never heard you have to pause and go back and watch that sequence again and this is really a normal way that most of people do.
But today I am trying to teach you how to behave and improve your comprehension to the fool that you don't have to post the films and go backward .This is not easy but you can achieve this skill if you set aside a time for it.

Argument Essay Topics
1. We are becoming increasingly dependent on computers. They are used in businesses, hospitals, crime detection and even to fly planes. What things will they be used for in future? Is this dependence on computers a good thing or should we be more suspicious of their benefits?
2. In what ways has information technology changed work and working practices in the past 10 years?
3. 'Telecommuting' refers to workers doing their jobs from home for part of each week and communicating with their office using computer technology. Telecommuting is growing in many countries and is expected to be common for most office workers in the coming decades. How do you think society will be affected by the growth of telecommuting?
4. Technology is making communication easier in today's world, but at the expense of personal contact as many people choose to work at home in front of a computer screen. What dangers are there for a society which depends on computer screens rather than face-to-face contact for its main means of communication?
5. Some businesses now say that no one can smoke cigarettes in any of their offices. Some governments have banned smoking in all public places. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons.

7. To what extent is the use of animals in scientific research acceptable?

13. Damage of the environment is an inevitable consequence of worldwide improvements in the standard of living. Discuss.
14. The rising levels of congestion and air pollution found in most of the world cities can be attributed directly to the rapidly increasing number of private cars in use.

16. What are factors which are related to academic success in high-school students?
17. Do the benefits of study abroad justify the difficulties? What advice would you offer to a prospective student?

Ielts speaking Band 5 versus Band 8
The difference between these scores is about how we support our ideas with explanations and examples.
◾Band 6– Gives relevant ideas but these may not be fully developed with explanations or examples or the explanations and examples given are irrelevant.
Example– The main problem causing traffic jams is too many cars. There are lots more cars these days.
The idea is relevant but they have failed to explain why cars cause traffic jams or give examples.
◾Band 7- Gives relevant ideas and these are developed with explanations or examples but these ideas may be too general or lack focus.
Example- The main problem causing traffic jams is too many cars. In lots of cities around the world there are lots of cars and this causes traffic jams. For example, the number of cars purchased in developing countries is increasing year after year.
This student has presented a clear position, but they have given a very general explanation and their example lacks focus and is not specifically linked to the main point.
◾Band 8– Gives relevant ideas and these are developed with focused and specific ideas and examples.
Example- The main problem causing traffic jams is too many cars. When we have more vehicles than a city’s infrastructure was designed for it leads to congestion. For example, Ho Chi Minh City was designed to cope with around 500,000 cars and the city now has over 2 million cars, resulting in chronic traffic problems.
This student has explained their point very well, explaining exactly why they think too many cars are the problem and given a very specific and relevant example to prove their point. If you can’t think of a specific example, make one up. The examiners are not interested in how factual your examples are, just your ability to make one.
