I often film videos for social media, but end up hesitating to share. I guess I need to be a bit BEZBET to be a blogger. People like me who dislike public criticism hardly ever become a popular blogger, in my view. Bloggers are often too audacious, but I feel daunted. Here is one of such videos. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbU6jyqNdiV/?igsh=MWpqcHdrc2d6NHp2Zg== Watch and leave your comments below.

Back in those days, nobody ran any useful writing channels. It was impossible to find any reliable samples, and test-takers like me had to resort to internet sources. I wish I had access to such free educational content like my channel here. I wouldn’t trade it for the world 🌎. Ironically, IELTS materials are ubiquitous, and people like me regularly post high-level samples, but students take everything for granted. Some of my own offline students, for example, hardly ever read these essays unless they are told to. But funnily, they “want” to get a high score. And if I accidentally tell them it’s impossible to even get higher than 6.0, I instantly become their Number One enemy. Forgive me but you’re destined to miserably fail unless you patiently sit and read/analyze each task you’re given. I’ve read my own sample above at least FIVE times. How many times will you, my friend, read? #peptalk

The bar graphs compare four different nations with respect to the percentage of male and female employees aged 60-64 in the years 1970 and 2000. Overall, each of these countries employed a greater percentage of such men than women in both years, with Japan recording the highest employment rate of both genders during the entire period and Belgium showing the biggest employment gap between these genders. One striking feature is that the share of senior male employees in this age cohort rose markedly in all given countries. Turning to the female workforce, Japan and Belgium experienced an insignificant increase in the proportion of such employees, whereas the reverse was true for the USA and Australia. In 1970, nearly three-quarters of 60-64-year-old men were employed in Japan, 19% higher compared to the USA, the country with the second largest male employment rate of this age group. Meanwhile, the percentage of their female counterparts in these respective countries was relatively closer, at 40% and 38%. By 2000, the discrepancy between the proportion of male employees of these two countries had shrunk, accounting for 13%, as a result of bigger growth in the USA (73%). As for women, on the other hand, it was vice versa. While the percentage of the Japanese female workforce reached a record high of 43%, that of Americans dropped by 2%. In Belgium, a European country, employment among men aged 60-64 soared, increasing fourfold, from just under a fifth to 79%, leading the country to surpass the USA and Australia. In terms of the female employment rate, however, the country remained ranked last on the list, although their percentage went up minimally, from a mere 7% to 8%. The employed male population in Australia within this age group also grew substantially, from 47% to 76%, leaving that in the USA behind. With regard to females, just like in the USA, a similar pattern was observed in Australia, with the figures declining by 2%, from 18%. 327 words #classwork @arifielts

Speaking Part 3 How do people spend their weekend in your country? Me: It depends on the person, but I think weekends are when people try to recover from the week they just survived. Some people sleep until noon and proudly call it "catching up on rest." Others spend half the day doing chores they avoided all week, and before they know it, it's Sunday evening and they're already dreading Monday. Families often visit relatives, young people hang out in cafés or shopping malls, and football fans practically glue themselves to the TV. Honestly, weekends always seem to fly by twice as fast as weekdays. @arifielts

Sunday- Fun Day

Speaking part 3 In what occasions do people often yawn? Me: I think people yawn whenever their brain feels it's time to switch into low gear, whether they're genuinely tired or simply not interested in what's going on. The funny thing is that yawning is contagious, so sometimes all it takes is seeing someone else do it, and suddenly you're yawning too. I know that happens to me all the time, especially if I'm watching a slow movie. Before anything exciting happens, I'm already fighting to keep my eyes open. @arifielts

Speaking Part 3 Why do many people get married late these days? Me: "These days, getting married feels like buying a house—you don't want to make such a huge decision until you're absolutely sure. People would rather stay single for a few more years than spend the next twenty explaining why they're getting divorced. So they take their time, focus on their careers, and wait until they meet someone who actually makes life easier, not more complicated." @arifielts

Easy answers to complicated questions

Speaking part 3: Do you think University qualification is important in a person’s success in life? Me: "A university degree definitely helps, but it's not some magical cheat code for life. I've met people with master's degrees who can't change a flat tire, and I've met plumbers who earn more than doctors. A degree can open the first door, but after that, your attitude, work ethic, and people skills usually decide how far you go. Life doesn't hand out promotions just because you survived four years of lectures. A university degree is a bit like a gym membership. Buying one doesn't automatically make you fit—you still have to do the work. Plenty of people have degrees gathering dust while someone who never went to university is busy running a successful business. The certificate might get you an interview, but it won't stop you from making terrible decisions.” @arifielts

Speaking part 1: What's your opinion of people who only contact you when they need something from you? Me: Some people aren't friends—they're basically parasites. They stay invisible until they need something, attach themselves to you just long enough to get what they want, and then disappear again until their next "emergency." The funniest part? Every conversation starts with, "Hey, how have you been?" as if they're checking on your well-being. We all know that's just the trailer—the real movie starts with, "Can you do me a favor?" @arifielts

From time to time, my inner angel wakes up and encourages me to do something good for the IELTS community, just like today. And I feel motivated, either taking a video or writing an essay without the second thought. But this spark soon disappears when I see no appreciation, at least in the form of emoji or stickers. “Qilsang ishingni beminnat qil, bo’lmasa to’rt tomoning qibla” deyishsaya?!)

Big news!!! I’ve finally decided to make a bigger contribution to the English language community, personally analyzing articles and posting them on YouTube. The good news is, it’ll be in Uzbek, with definitions in English but the explanation in Uzbek. Katta yangilik!!! Nihoyat men ingliz tili hamjamiyatiga kattaroq hissa qo'shishga qaror qildim — shaxsan maqolalarni tahlil qilib, ularni YouTube'ga joylab boraman. Yaxshi xabar shundaki, u o'zbek tilida bo'ladi, ta'riflar ingliz tilida, lekin tushuntirishlar o'zbek tilida beriladi.

July 6, 2026 (Real task 2) Some school leavers travel or work for a period of time instead of going directly to university. What are the advantages or disadvantages for their study? Instead of immediately pursuing an academic career at tertiary education, some school alumni often choose to travel or work these days. Empirical experience and extra income, I believe, are the primary benefits behind this tendency. However, it may affect their study preferences, leading either to the loss of motivation to study or to procrastination, causing them to fall behind their peers. Taking a gap year or two to travel or work is advantageous in many ways for a school leaver before getting into a university. After mandatory school education often for over a decade or sometimes a dozen years, which is mainly demanding and stressful, traveling, for example, serves to boost worldview, improve communication skills and enlarge social network of the young who are still inexperienced and carefree. By exchanging knowledge and experience with foreigners from different walks of life and undergoing life challenges, even momentarily, these young individuals can better realize the importance of university education in their future success. Work experience, on the other hand, apart from these aforementioned advantages, offers pecuniary benefits which can assist to cover fees and basic expenses during university study. Unlike their peers who have little such experience, these school leavers likely become self-reliant on dealing with financial challenges. These decisions also come at a cost. Having traveled or worked for a while, young individuals often lose their passion to further study and reluctantly attend classes, even if they are admitted to university. Their temporary life experience likely changes their perception towards university education or qualification, undermining its significance, and the majority may pay little attention to courses university offers and even end up dropping out for the sake of their ulterior motives to success. If none of these affects their intention to study, there is still the likelihood that they fall behind their peers for several years who get into university directly after school education. The discrepancy can especially be seen in career growth and a relevant job experience. In summary, traveling or working instead of going directly to university enables school graduates to gain life experience and make some earning for themselves that could be quite beneficial in their university education. However, some young individuals may often feel demotivated to study or have to deal with a delay in getting a university degree, at the very least. #freshtask2sample #byARIF #classwork 386 words @arifielts

The images describe the appearance of a beachfront area in Australia in 1950 and at this moment in time. Overall, the area has undergone a radical transformation, one of which has come at the cost of a children’s playground. Changes in road infrastructure and the introduction of certain amenities have, in particular, made this coastal area more accessible for beach-goers. In 1950, two swimming pools, each 25 meters long, were at public disposal at east and west ends of the seashore. The entire coastline was a beach area, and a lighthouse was located at a distance in the south-east. The area between the beach and the main road, linked this littoral region with the city in the west, was distributed into a large closed playground, a sitting area and a pavilion, whereas the road bent to the right in the east, leading to a car park. At present, a surf club offers its service adjacent to each pool, one of which, in the west, has been doubled in size, and a new restaurant is also in the immediate vicinity of this very pool. With the expansion of the main road, driving directly to the lighthouse is now feasible. While the sitting area along with the pavilion remain intact, the playground has now been demolished, paving the way for another car park with direct access from the main road. 228 words #classwork #byARIF @arifielts
