Advice: VOCABULARY IS THE KEY 🔐🔓
As I've said before, there is no 'secret' way to improve your score. You just need to study hard and keep practising. However, if I had to give one piece of advice, it would be this: work on vocabulary.
If you use a wide range of vocabulary in the speaking and writing exams, you are more likely to get a high score. Vocabulary is also the key to finding the answers in the reading test and understanding the speakers in the listening test.
So, are you writing new words and phrases in a notebook every day? Do you read something in English every day? Do you use a dictionary? Do you use Google or Wikipedia to look up words and phrases?
If you don't do these things, start now!

Imtihon bo'yicha maslahatlar: SO'Z BOYLIK - OMAD KALITI 🔐🔓
Oldin ham aytganimdek, natijangizni oshirish uchun 'sirli' formula mavjud emas. Siz faqatgina jiddu jahd bilan o'qib, shug'ullanishni davom ettirishingiz kerak xolos. Biroq, atiga bittagina maslahat berish imkonim bo'lganida, shubhasiz, u quyidagicha bo'lardi: so'z boyligingiz ustida ishlang!
Speaking va writing qismlarida turli xil so'zlardan foydalansangiz, yaxshi natijaga erishishingizga ehtimol yuqori bo'ladi. Reading qismida javoblarni topishda va listening da audiolarni yaxshi tushuna olishda ham so'z boylikni o'rni beqiyos.
Ho'sh, siz yangi so'zlarni har kuni daftaringizga yozib ketyabsizmi? Har kuni inglizcha matnlarni o'qiyabsizmi? Lug'atdan foydalanyabsizmi? Google yoki Wikipedia da yangi so'z va birikmalarni ma'nolarini izlayabsizmi?
Agar bularni qilmayotgan bo'lsangiz, hoziroq boshlang!

imtihon bo'yicha maslahatlar: 'KATTA' SO'ZLAR YECHIM EMAS 🙅♀️📝
Agar siz imtihon oluvchini yaxshi so'z boyligingiz bilan hayratda qoldirmoqchi bo'lsangiz, yakka tartibdagi so'zlar haqida aslo qayg'urmang. Buning o'rniga, turli xil so'zlarni birgalikda qiziqarliroq yo'sinda ishlata olish qobiliyatingizni namoyish etishga harakat qiling.
Quyida oddiy bir misolni keltirib o'taman:
- incredible
- beautiful
- images
Mana shu so'zlarni alohida olib qaraydigan bo'lsak, qandaydir bir o'zgacha taassurot hosil bo'lmaydi. Ammo, quyida qay tarzda men bularni jamlab, bitta gapda ishlatganimga ahamiyat bering:
The TV trailers were really eye-catching because they showed incredibly beautiful images of nature.
"Incredibly beautiful images" iborasi yaxlit olinganida, ichidagi yakka so'zlardan ko'ra yaxshiroq jaranglaydi.
Eslab qoling: faqatgina so'zlarni mohirlik bilan birga ishlatishni boshlaganingizdagina, til jonlanadi.

STUDENTS' QUESTIONS 👨🏫👩🏫
1️⃣ Is it ok to use the words "I", "my" and "we" in writing task 2?
Yes, it's perfectly ok to use those words. You might be told to avoid them in university assignments, but the advice for IELTS is different. If the question asks for your opinion, you will probably need to write "I agree", "I believe" or "in my opinion".
2️⃣ Can we invent facts or figures in writing task 2?
I don't recommend inventing statistics or news stories. I always think that doing this makes writing seem 'false'. Just explain your own ideas and opinions, and give reasons and examples.
3️⃣ Can we use "you" to talk about people in general?
In the speaking test, it's fine to say something like "when you go on holiday, you have the chance to relax". But in a written essay, I would prefer to change this e.g. "when people go on holiday...".
4️⃣ Will I lose marks if I don't give both views in writing task 2?
It depends on the question. If the question asks you to discuss both views, you must do this. However, if the question asks whether you agree or disagree, you definitely don't need to mention both sides of the argument.

O'QUVCHILARDAN SAVOLLAR 👨🏫👩🏫
1️⃣ Writing task 2 da "I", "my" va "we" so'zlarini ishlatsa bo'ladimi?
Ha, albatta! Universitet uchun yoziladigan insholarda iloji boricha bu so'zlardan foydalanmaslik haqida eshitgandirsiz, lekin IELTS va multi level da bunday emas. Agar savol sizni fikringizni so'rasa, albatta "I agree", "I believe" yoki "in my opinion" iboralaridan foydalanishingizga to'g'ri keladi.
2️⃣ Writing task 2 da yolg'on fakt va statistikalardan foydalansam bo'ladimi?
Bunday qilishni maslahat bermagan bo'lardim. Chunki, fikrimcha, bu narsa inshoingizni "yasama" bo'lib qolishiga olib keladi. Shunchaki sabab va misollar keltirgan holda o'z shaxsiy fikr va g'oyalaringizni izohlab bering - olam guliston!
3️⃣ Umumiy tarzda odamlar haqida gapirish uchun "you" so'zidan foydalansa bo'ladimi?
Speaking imtihonida "when you go on holiday, you have the chance to relax" ga o'xshash gap aytsa bo'lar... Biroq, yozma imtihonda, buni "when people go on holiday..." ga o'zgartirish ma'qulroq bo'ladi.
4️⃣ Writing task 2 da ikkala tomon fikrlari haqida yozmasam, balim past chiqadimi?
Bu narsa tushadigan savolga bog'liq. Agar savol sizdan har ikki tomonni muhokama qilishingizni so'rasa, siz buni qilishingiz shart. Lekin, agarda savol siz biron bir fikrga qo'shilish yoki qo'shilmasligingizni so'rayotgan bo'lsa, tabiiyki, siz argumentni har ikki tomonini izohlashingiz kerak emas.

Speaking Advice: TELL STORIES 🌠💭🗣
Once, I mentioned that you could prepare some examples or stories to make your descriptions more interesting (for speaking part 2, and maybe part 3).
When speaking in our own languages, we tell stories all the time. For example, you might tell a member of your family about what happened at work today, or you might tell your friends about a film you saw last night.
The ability to tell a story in English is a sign that you are becoming a proficient user of the language. Test yourself: try telling a story in English now. Start with something easy, like "what I did yesterday".

imtihon bo'yicha maslahatlar: HIKOYALAR SO'ZLANG 🌠💭🗣
Speaking part 2 (va balki, part 3 uchun ham) javoblaringizni yorqinroq va qiziqarliroq qilish maqsadida misollar va hikoyalarni oldindan tayyorlab borish to'g'risida o'z maslahatlarimni berib o'tgandim.
Agar ahamiyat bersangiz, o'z ona tilimizda gapirganimizda, biz har mahal hikoyalar so'zlaymiz. Misol uchun, o'z oila azoimizga bugun ishda nima sodir bo'lganini aytib berishimiz mumkin; yoki bo'lmasa, kecha tomosha qilgan kinoimiz haqida do'stlarimizga so'zlab berarmiz.
Ingliz tilida ham hikoya so'zlay olish qobiliyati - siz shu tildagi ko'nikmalaringizni mukammal qilayotganingizdan darak. O'zingizni hoziroq sinang: ingliz tilida biron bir hikoya so'zlashga harakat qilib ko'ring. Avvaliga "kecha nimalar qildim" singari oson mavzulardan boshlang.
