I finished the book and the reason for my excitement is that I could guess who the murderer was right from the beginning. I could connect the dots(almost all correctly) yet I wasn’t so sure. So, I had to keep reading only to find out that I was right all along.
The story is good and monsieur Poirot did a good job of revealing the truth.

Nowadays people depend on technology in their free time.
Is this a positive or negative development?
People are increasingly using technology in their leisure time. There are some positive effects associated with this change, such as instant access to entertainment and chance for staying connected. However, this development is mostly negative as it can lead to sedentary lifestyle and addiction.
With technology, whole new types of entertainment are at our fingertips. People can watch movies, play games, listen to music, and surf social media from the comfort of their home. By contrast, alternative ways, such as going to the cinema, concerts, and playing outdoor games, would require time, money and energy. Another positive is the opportunity to socialize. Whether it be talking to a relative, sending a video to a friend, or checking up on colleagues, the internet allows people to keep in touch despite geographical boundaries.
Despite this, I tend to view this trend negatively. The main concern is the health issues that may result from spending too much time with technology. When people use technology in their free time, they naturally spend less time on exercise. The lack of physical activity has long been associated with several health problems, ranging from poor posture to more severe conditions like obesity and eye sight deterioration. Even worse, people can form addiction. The excessive usage of the internet in free time, for example, can lead to dependence on it. As a result, the urge to check notifications while working or studying can result in divided attention, ultimately impacting people’s overall productivity.
In conclusion, technology does offer some benefits for those who use it in their free time, such the easy access to entertainment and socializing. That said, the overall impact of such a habit is undesirable as it can affect people’s physical as well as mental well-being.

Financial education should be compulsory for school students.
Do you agree or disagree?
There is a view that all school students must study financial education. While some support this proposal, I believe this subject should not be mandatory.
Students may learn money management from financial lessons at schools. They can start to understand the importance of not wasting money and saving it from an early age. These lessons can prepare them for the adulthood, when people usually deal with money on a daily basis. Students who can manage their money are also better positioned to make clever investments, which can lead to financial independence in the long run.
However, financial education should not be compulsory. Firstly, if not carefully taught, financial lessons may foster materialistic tendencies. Focusing too much on the subject of money in schools may encourage students to prioritize money over other values such as friendship and meaningful relationships. This can affect various aspects of people’s lives.
Instead, emphasis should be placed upon improving other skills. Languages are one pertinent example. Learning different languages well can enhance students’ communication and other interpersonal skills. STEMS subjects are another important area. Studying these subjects develops a range of important skills, such as problem-solving, logical thinking, and creativity. All this knowledge will prove useful in the future, whether to study further or find employment.
In conclusion, although students may benefit from financial education, this subject had not better be included in the school curriculum as it may encourage materialistic behavior. So, other subjects should be prioritized.

I just finished the book
The book depicts a dystopian future, serving as a bitter allegory for what may await us(or what is already happening)
It’s a heavy read, and I had to re-read some parts not because of the language but because of the things/ideas described in the book.

This means half of Ramadan is already over
The reason why this general background sentence sucks is because it is not linked to the next sentence(paraphrase sentence) smoothly enough.
This is the reason why I don’t recommend writing general background sentences. Yes, you can do it and it might make your essay a little bit better but it’s not worth the risk.
Here’s a slightly improved version:
Watching TV and movies used to be a social activity done in the company of friends and family. Now, however, the majority of people enjoy being by themselves in front of the screen. While there are certain drawbacks to this, they are outweighed by the benefits.
This version connects the general background sentence effectively to the main topic.
Some people recommend writing a general background sentence in the introduction in TASK 2. But writing such a sentence is challenging. Here’s the most common problem I notice with general background sentences:
Essay topic: Many people prefer to be alone while watching TV or movies
Introduction: Watching movies and TV is a popular pastime activity among people of different ages. The majority of people enjoy being by themselves in front of the screen. While there are certain drawbacks to this, they are outweighed by the benefits.
Can you highlight what’s wrong with this intro?
Birinchi kitob tugadi.
To’g’risi, kitobdan triller janridagi nimadur kutgan edim, (afyunfurushlar-u tojdor o’g’rilar haqidagi kitobdan boshqa nimani ham kutish mumkin?)
Romanni sham uchidan chiqqan nimjon pilikka o’xshatdim: yonsammi yonmasammi deb turguchi. Faqatgina so’ngi qismlarigina trillerni eslatuvchi bu kitob ikkinchi, shiddatliroq qismining shunchaki debochasi deb umid qilaman zero, kitobdagi aksariyat taqdirlar va personajlar hali to’liq yoritilib berilmadi.

Every day, millions of tons of food are wasted all over the world.
What are the causes of this problem?
What measures can be taken to solve this?
Food waste has become a growing problem in many countries, perpetuating food insecurity for millions of people. While this can be attributed to strict food aesthetic standards and consumer behavior, the problem can be addressed by redistributing food surplus and taking advantage of mobile apps.
One major factor contributing to food waste is the high standards of perfection for the appearance of food. These standards often prioritize visual appeal, focusing on factors such as size, shape, color, and texture, which can result in perfectly edible food being thrown away simply because it does not meet the ideal appearance criteria. Korzinka, one of the well-known supermarket chains in Uzbekistan, recently faced criticism from the government and the public due to its careless attitude toward handling food. Unfortunately, despite such backlash, food waste remains a persistent problem. However, the public is not without fault either. Residential food waste is actually the most significant contributor to what is sent to landfills. This usually happens when people over-purchase or cook large portions that are not consumed, which often results from poor planning or lack of awareness.
However complex the problem might be, there are a number of ways by which it can be addressed. One effective measure would be to establish food redistribution programs. Such programs should collaborate with supermarkets and communities, particularly in areas where food insecurity is a widespread challenge, to ensure that perfectly edible yet aesthetically flawed food is not wasted. This action can have a two-fold impact by reducing the environmental impact of food waste while also alleviating food insecurity for many people.
Another approach, one that would complement the first, is to use food waste mobile apps. Such apps help users track what food items they have at home, preventing unnecessary purchases during shopping. These apps also send reminders about expiration dates or alerts when certain foods are close to spoiling, which can encourage people to use them before they become inedible. One such mobile application is ‘NoWaste’ which received overwhelmingly positive reviews among users.
In conclusion, the main reasons behind food waste are strict aesthetic standards for food and consumer behavior, such as over-purchasing and poor planning. However, this issue can be effectively tackled through measures like food redistribution programs and the use of innovative mobile apps.

The table compares the amount of three primary foods consumed in four countries. Overall, while rice is the main food item in Cambodia, wheat is most consumed in Poland and especially in Egypt but people in Mexico eat more maize. It is also clear that the combined daily calorie intake of these foods is higher in Egypt whereas Poland shows the lowest overall consumption.
Focusing on the rice consumption, Cambodians eat 1445 calories of this food a day, almost three times the figure for Egypt. Mexico and Poland followed distantly behind, with respective figures of 57 and 19 calories per person per day.
The wheat figures also show considerable variations, with Egypt and Poland exhibiting more noticeable numbers, at 1095 and 865 calories respectively. This is a substantial contrast to the wheat intake in Mexico(275) and Cambodia(18).
The consumption of maize in Mexico, on the other hand, exceeded that for all the remaining countries put together, with 1083 calories per person. The daily intake of this crop in Egypt constitutes 578 calories compared to 103 calories consumed by Cambodians. However, this food is not eaten in Poland.

Well, here’s the thing guys. I’m planning to take the test(probably next month) But it’s not to get a 9.0 but to experiment with different writing approaches because afterall, if my 9.0 in IELTS doesnt help my students, what’s the point?
If you’ve noticed, I started writing shorter essays. This is the thing I want to experiment with. If a 250 word essay can still get 8.0-8.5, then it will be much easier for me to teach writing in general.
So stay tuned brothers and sisters!

Many people are working longer hours. What are the reasons and effects?
Many people now engage in longer working hours than ever before. While this shift can be attributed to economic pressures and cultural expectations in some countries, the trend of excessive work can have a detrimental effect on people’s productivity and their relationships.
Individuals may feel compelled to work longer hours in order to keep up with financial demands. In today’s economy, many people face increasing expenses related to housing, healthcare, education and other essential needs. This situation is intensified, if people have dependents such as children and other family members. This often necessitates longer working hours or taking on multiple jobs to make ends meet.
This pressure is often exacerbated by societal expectations and cultural norms. In many countries, people tend to equate success with material wealth or professional achievement. Take my country – Uzbekistan, where there is a strong emphasis on achieving material success. This urge to meet these expectations encourages people to overwork, despite the apparent physical and mental toll.
Working longer hours, however, can have a negative impact on people’s professional life. Firstly, there is a trade-off between excessive work and productivity. When people constantly work overtime, the fatigue and burnout resulting from this can impair cognitive function and problem-solving abilities. This can hinder performance and innovation.
The effects of longer working hours often go beyond professional life. Individuals who prioritize their work usually have less time available for socializing and quality time with family members. These people are also less likely to be directly involved in raising their children and nurturing their relationship with their spouse. This can lead to feelings of isolation and conflicts within personal relationships.
In conclusion, financial demands of the modern world and social norms often drive people to devote more time to work. However, this change carries several adverse effects, including diminished productivity and strained personal relationships.
