•Write all your answers in the question sheet, you've got an additional 10minutes to transfer them into the answer sheet.

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.

Imagine if Christians actually had to live according to their Bibles.
Imagine if Christians actually sacrificed themselves for the good of those they considered their enemies, with no thought of any recompense or reward, but only to honor the essential humanity of all people.
Imagine if Christians sold all their possessions and gave it to the poor.
Imagine if they relentlessly stood up for the widow, the orphan, and the foreigner.
Imagine if they worshipped a God whose response to political power was to reject it.
Or cancelled all debt owed them?
Imagine if the primary orientation of Christians was what others needed, not what they deserved.
Imagine Christians with no interest in protecting what they had.
Imagine Christians who made room for other beliefs, and honored the truths they found there.
Imagine Christians who saved their forgiveness and mercy for others, rather than saving it for themselves.
Whose empathy went first to the abused, not the abuser.
Who didn't see tax as theft; who didn't need to control distribution of public good to the deserving.

I’m torn on how to approach the idea of luck. I’m the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. To be born into a prosperous American family in 1960 with smart parents is to start life on third base. The odds against my very existence are astronomical.
I’ve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.
In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the person’s part, whereas “smart” luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.
So, was I “lucky” to be born when I was—nothing I had any control over—and that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write “What Works on Wall Street?” Absolutely.
Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.

"Luck is the flip side of risk. They are mirrored cousins, driven by the same thing: You are one person in a 7 billion player game, and the accidental impact of other people\u2019s actions can be more consequential than your own."
