The maps illustrate changes that were made to a park's layout and landscape between 1980 and 2023.
It is noticeable that the main modifications were made to the way how the park is accessed from outside, its internal design and a range of its amenities.
Looking at the changes in more detail, we can see that in 1980, the park was fenced off and could be only accessed through gates on its south and northwest sides. By 2023 both fences and gates have been removed and the park has been turned into an open area. The park used to also have
a curved path running from its northwest corner to the south, whereas this has now been converted into a path extending to all four sides of the park.
The two maps also show that changes were made to what the park consisted of. In 1980, there were three benches around a pond in the southwest side and the number of benches has increased to four at present, while the area with flowers on the bottom left corner has been replaced with bushes. Similarly, another zone with flowers on the bottom right corner has been transformed into a play ground. It is also possible now to place chairs and desks and have a barbecue in the park territory with trees on its upper right corner.

Congratulations to you too. Gulasal also had a potential to get C1, but I think she overfocused on speaking. This happens with people who love speaking. When you prepare for an exam, you should make a rational plan and take everything into account. Don’t prioritize one part over others, you will lose balance.
Nodira apka is a heroine. Despite having a family, she brought IELTS preparation to an end. The achievement that not many can accomplish.
Shakhina’s 7 in speaking made me very happy. Her writing and speaking are the strongest sections just like her teacher’s😁.
Shakhzoda’s 7 in listening is also worth mentioning. Inoyat, however, should’ve got at least 6.5.
@limitlessknowledge
Jayron is another holder of C1. However, she deserves more than 7. Nevertheless, C1 is C1. Congratulations! A very professional, helpful and kind person.
@limitlessknowledge
The story of Gulnoza is worth a movie. She underwent a surgery on her legs and had to follow a bed regime for 2 months. Despite this, she managed to work on her English and improve it till C1 level. A truly beautiful story. Motivation for those who miss lessons and study when they have a minor headache. By the way, she is the sibling sister of Alibek. A rare case when both children are smart in one family. Congratulations!!!
@limitlessknowledge
Dinora is a special student for us. We prepared her from the very beginning. 2 months of General English with Begov and 12 months of IELTS with me. She is in the 10th grade, but managed to get such an incredible score from the first attempt. Dinora, we are very happy and proud of you. What differentiated her from others is her maturity. Her speaking answers were much smarter than even of “Inyaz students”. A fully deserved score! Congratulations!

🗣 Some believe children should be taught to give speeches and presentations in school.
Why is this?
Should this be taught in schools?
It is considered that schools should impart storytelling and presentation skills to children. While the goal behind this initiative could be to address the mental barriers to self-expression at their early development stage, I believe that school children should learn these skills, as articulacy is the linchpin of adult life awaiting them all.
Based on the school of thought labelling man a social animal, it is obvious that every aspect of our daily lives fails to do without communicating with others of our kind. And as almost everyone aspires to be a beneficiary of these interactions, delivering our thoughts, arguments and wishes in an eloquent, yet organised and confident manner normally takes a decisive role there and the art of public speaking both encompasses and celebrates these qualities. It is, however, still not immune to such ubiquitous human characteristics as fear, self-doubt and nervousness. Although these traits would most probably accompany us over the course of our whole life, it does not mean that their orbit of influence is impossible to tame. In this sense, one of the most optimal ways to learn to overcome them when necessary is to deal with them in their formative period.
By teaching children to give speeches and presentations, schools are, for their part, able to facilitate to face, normalise and work on the yet evolving self-sabotaging features mentioned above. Not only would children begin to take first steps in the process of forming and expressing their thoughts thanks to an interest instilled in public speaking, but more importantly, they would also gain the feeling that they are being heard and that their voice has a certain value. This can eventually have an everlasting positive impact on self-confidence, which is, in turn, a key to being articulate, and the more time and concentration a child spends on presenting either oral or written topics to contemporaries, the more chances there are to foster a healthy exchange of ideas, scepticism, critical thinking as well as initial patterns of morality and ethics. To cultivate these skills in schools, therefore, is to shape the future generation of adults with decisiveness, a clear vision of their likes and dislikes and able to use rhetoric to question the world around them.
In conclusion, any form of oratory skills would only enrich school curriculum.

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from ###
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from ###
I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
Happy Christmas, I ### it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you", I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from ###
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from ###
I'll give it to someone special
Ooh
Oh, oh, baby
A ### room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under ###, but you tore me apart
Oh, oh now I've found a real love
You'll never fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special, special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Special
A face on a ### with a fire in his heart (I gave you mine)
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special
Special
So long

Some people prefer to work for an employer, others choose to be self-employed. Discuss both and give you opinion.
The plan:
1. Afraid of responsibility \ comparison \ mistake doesn’t cost much \ fire \ lose business \ better safe than sorry for sb
2. Character - don’t want to be led \ not afraid of risks n failures \ confident in what they do
3. Person has to decide what he or she wants from life \ calm and average life \ hectic but rewarding life.
The essay:
The preferences regarding work vary. While some opt for a career of an employee, others strive to work for themselves. I believe, people should choose their path based on their life priorities.
It is responsibility that intimidates many and has them work for an employer. When a person is a member of a company or organization, their work is accomplished on the behalf of the company. Therefore, if a mistake is made, the company suffers most, not the employee, who can be fired at most. However, if an employer made an error, they would lose the business. The difference in the responsibility is staggering. Thus, people with the motto “Better safe than sorry” choose to be an employee.
Those, who decide to be self-employed, do so because of character. Firstly, they do not like being led by others. It belittles their self-esteem. Therefore, they choose to work for themselves. Secondly, these people are not afraid of risks and failures, because of which, they take charge of their action and go forward irrespective of circumstances. Finally, they are confident in their ability. Due to this self-trust, they lead, while others seeing their character follow them.
As for my position in this matter, I cannot say that one way is superior to the other. First and foremost, people have to identify their life goals, owing to which they can choose one way or the other. Those, who tend toward a calm and stable life, should be an employee, whereas those who favor hectic, but rewarding life should make money and people work for them. I, myself, go with the latter.
In conclusion, the factor that predetermines the career of people is confidence. Those who lack it work for others, while the ones who have enough of it work for themselves.

Good day, everyone! The year 2022 is coming to its end, so it is time to summarize everything that has happened during this period. First and foremost, I am proud to say that this has been the most successful year so far in our center.
-22 people got 6.5(very symbolic number);
-18 people got 7;
-7 people got 7.5;
This all was made possible because of the collaboration established in January with Dostonbek Begov and Lola Saparboeva(Tulpanushka). Thank you very much. Upcoming year is bringing us a new teacher, my cousin brother @behruz_saparbayev, who had been one of the best IELTS teachers before his departure to Germany 6 years ago. The person with his brain and attitude will definitely help us to improve the results greatly and direct much more people to a right path in life. We are all very excited!
Secondly, we managed to organize two huuuge parties, one on March 8th and the other on October 31st. I am sure they remained as one of the best days in the memory of our students.
Thirdly, we became much closer with our students and established tight bonds with them, creating the sense of family in the center.
Finally, all of our teachers achieved personal growth, which can be seen in their latest results and the volume of students choosing to study with us. Noteworthy is BAND 8, which I got in WRITING. The score that is quite rare all over the world.
Happy upcoming New Year, our biiig family! May 2023 bring you everything you wish for!

Last but not least, Gulchexra, of course, deserved more. But this is what panicking in reading looks like. You worry about time and don’t understand anything you read. Yet, speaking is 7. In life you need speaking skills more than reading skills, so congratulations! Good luck in 2023.
@limitlessknowledge
This is the result of Sevinch. Congratulations! Good luck in 2023.

Mavluda finished a course at the INTELLECTUALS before joining us, so my contribution here was only 0.5 or at most 1. Congratulations, Mavluda, your favorite speaking indeed helped you out. Good luck in 2023.

🛸 Some think scientists should be allowed to send messages into space to communicate with other life forms while others believe this is too dangerous. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.
Possible existence of extraterrestrial civilisations continues to arouse our curiosity. In this regard, while some believe in the need of transmitting signals to outer space to make contact with these unknown cultures, there are also those in my person opposing this idea due to potential risks associated with it.
To substantiate the importance of this initiative, its sympathisers can put forward motives, which are anything, but selfless. The main reason is the prospect of finding analogues to our home planet. We have been endlessly and carelessly depleting the Earth's natural resources, playing the main role in climate change by polluting it and heading to the point to completely destroy it, ergo, why not inflict the same on other planets now. Furthermore, there is an alluring surmise that the contact with aliens may lead to knowledge exchange. Assuming that the level of their progress surpasses that of ours, it is difficult not to indulge in an attempt to establish reciprocal communication in order to assimilate fruits of their civilization. The question lingering to be answered here is whether it is worth it and whether it is not a suicide mission.
It is ironic to observe the calls to explore possibilities to contact extraterrestrials, as if we solved all our Earthly issues and reached complete enlightenment. Our sense to set priorities in order must be completely twisted, in case we choose anything over putting an end to global hunger, poverty and wars. In this sense, the more financial resources would be allocated to matters of lesser importance, the more pressing issues would remain at risk of being underfunded. In addition to this, the Age of Discovery is a quintessential embodiment of what and how much contact with foreign guests can cost. Not only did this contact lead to the embezzlement of newly discovered lands' riches, but also caused massacre and enslavement of natives. Our not that far history, therefore, manifests that this idea is nothing more than a Pandora's box.
In conclusion, to communicate with hypothetical creatures from other planets is to only do mankind a disservice.

Nafisa made impossible possible. Just imagine, 4 months ago she didn’t know English. She studied with Lola for 2 months(pre-IELTS) and with me another two. She attended Begov’s grammar too while preparing for IELTS. Congratulations!
@limitlessknowledge
Akrom was another boy I expected C1 from. But it was not meant to happen. Look at his listening and reading, they are ok, but the other two are not. And I think this is a perfect opportunity to explain sth.
Let’s start with writing. Even if your knowledge is great, misunderstanding the question or messing up your task response can cost you much. Thus, be very careful with the question and always plan your essay before writing it.
Speaking. He was my assistant in speaking and taught speaking to those who got 6.5 and 7. But, he himself got only 5.5. The problem is in performance. Some shy and introverted people can’t adapt to the exam and thus are unable to show their full potential. Examiner doesn’t know you, he/she has to assess your speaking based on 15mins. Thus, it happens.
Be more careful with writing questions and speak with confidence.

Yusuf is like a sibling brother for me. My poet. A truly unique person. He started IELTS without grammar knowledge. But this was a real trouble in speaking and writing. When he already found more than 30correct answers in Listening and Reading, his Speaking and Writing were still poor because of grammar. Then he took the lessons of Begov for a month and solved the problem.
Congratulations, my boy!!!

Alibek and Javohir are best buds. I used to call them Timon and Pumba😂. Very very smart boys. Was always pleasant to work with. I remember Javohir always texting me and asking for homework if I hadn’t given one at the lesson. Alibek was calm, serious and diligent. I’m so happy for both of you. Interestingly, Javohir always beat Alibek in in-group competitions at listening and reading, but Alibek won when most needed😄.
