•Write all your answers in the question sheet, you've got an additional 10minutes to transfer them into the answer sheet.
•Write them in capital letters, e get why.
Dear UKRNIJN,
HERE ARE LAST MINUTE TIPS I'VE COMPILED SPECIALLY FOR YOU BEFORE WRITING THAT IELTS ON SATURDAY.
For the listening:
•Ensure your headset is well connected and audible enough before the starting time.
•Concentration is key, try all means not to lose focus.
•Write all your answers in the question sheet, you've got an additional 10minutes to transfer them into the answer sheet.
•Write them in capital letters, e get why.
This is the toughest aspect for me but I trashed it.
•Use the formula 15:25:20
I will explain how it works
•Always start with passage 1, it is the simplest,spend ATMOST 15minutes to answer it.
Go to passage 3,spend 25minutes here cos It is the simplest/complex.
•In my next tweet, I'll be teaching you a strategy that I later used to trash the reading aspect.
It was the simplest for me. I had as high as 7.5.
•Start with task 1, it's the easiest and has the lowest mark.
•The most important aspect is your 1st (Introduction) and 2nd paragraphs (Overview)
•For the overview, you can't do this without first studying the given table/Graph. Know the trends and exceptions, this is the key to a good task 1.
•Try not to write above 180 words.
•Task 2, more complex and has times 2 of the score for task 1
•Spend 40 minutes here
•Be open-minded, brainstorm and jot those ideas down.
•Never you start a paragraph without your connecting words.
•Try not to exceed 280 words
Speaking:
•Be confident
•Be audible
In all, I'll recommend IELTS Makkar for this. You can DM to get it.
•If possible, go and know your exam centre on Friday to avoid difficulty in locating the centre on the Saturday.
•Avoid rings, wristwatches, hand bands and glasses that are not recommended, you won't be allowed into the hall with them.
•Have a sound sleep before leaving for the exam, your brain needs rest to function optimally.

1/ One year of destroyed economies, social isolation & deep social splits calls for an anniversary ⬇️thread ⬇️ to celebrate the RT-qPCR manuscript by Christian Drosten (@c_drosten) & Victor Corman (@vmcorman), submitted on 21st Jan 2020 to @Eurosurveillanc. #UnbiasedScience
2/ Before this very publication, virologists were neither treated like superstars, nor were they considered icons or half-gods. In 2009, Drosten almost succeeded in installing the false premise virology could supersede holistic medical sciences as discussed in this thread.
3/ Drosten is a virologist. He neither has any background in epidemiology, nor has he ever worked in the civil service. He also doesn’t have a background in public health. Yet he and his colleagues affect our daily lives to the level of whom to meet up or how to flush the toilet.
4/ Before January 2020, Drosten and Corman were common virologists at Charité Berlin, whenever they were not involved in economic implications (https://t.co/UTDwG8U7Du). Other than that, they looked at coronaviruses in dromedary calves in the Middle East or Africa. 😍 #cute
5/ Finally in Jan 2020, the published paper laid the theoretical grounds for the current pandemic, the RT-qPCR mass testing-religion, for which he was awarded his second German Federal Cross of Merit (he received the first one in 2005 for developing the SARS-CoV PCR test).

1/OK, data mystery time.
This New York Times feature shows China with a Gini Index of less than 30, which would make it more equal than Canada, France, or the Netherlands. https://t.co/g3Sv6DZTDE
That's weird. Income inequality in China is legendary.
Let's check this number.
2/The New York Times cites the World Bank's recent report, "Fair Progress? Economic Mobility across Generations Around the World".
The report is available here:
3/The World Bank report has a graph in which it appears to show the same value for China's Gini - under 0.3.
The graph cites the World Development Indicators as its source for the income inequality data.
4/The World Development Indicators are available at the World Bank's website.
Here's the Gini index: https://t.co/MvylQzpX6A
It looks as if the latest estimate for China's Gini is 42.2.
That estimate is from 2012.
5/A Gini of 42.2 would put China in the same neighborhood as the U.S., whose Gini was estimated at 41 in 2013.
I can't find the <30 number anywhere. The only other estimate in the tables for China is from 2008, when it was estimated at 42.8.

Patriotism is an interesting concept in that it’s excepted to mean something positive to all of us and certainly seen as a morally marketable trait that can fit into any definition you want for it.+
Tolstoy, found it both stupid and immoral. It is stupid because every patriot holds his own country to be the best, which obviously negates all other countries.+
It is immoral because it enjoins us to promote our country’s interests at the expense of all other countries, employing any means, including war. It is thus at odds with the most basic rule of morality, which tells us not to do to others what we would not want them to do to us+
My sincere belief is that patriotism of a personal nature, which does not impede on personal and physical liberties of any other, is not only welcome but perhaps somewhat needed.
But isn’t adherence to a more humane code of life much better than nationalistic patriotism?+
Göring said, “people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”+
