:) Writing Marathon 2024 ga qushilganlarni kutilayotgan IELTS natijasi :)

The boxing match between Crawford and Madrimov has just finished. Crawford was declared the winner in a suspicious decision. It was a close fight, but for me, the highlight of the night was Eminem performing five songs live:

1. Houdini (2024)
2. Rap God (2013)
3. Till I Collapse (2002)
4. Cinderella Man (2010)
5. Lose Yourself (2002)

Eminem, the definition of longevity, watched the fight sitting next to Turki Al-Sheikh, the main guy sponsoring the fight, in the front row. Eminem may have come in rooting for Crawford, but he must’ve def saw himself in Madrimov when the judges’ scorecards were read. Tonight, Madrimov was the “white guy”, the underdog, and his skin color and his nationality was against him. He put up a great fight against one of the best boxers of the decade, if not of all time. So, I am sure Eminem must’ve felt a pinch of empathy towards Madrimov at the end. Again, hats off to the young Uzbek fighter. I mean, if Eminem is watching you at work, then you are surely doing something great!

How to stand out from the crowd, or rather be just like everyone else…

I wanted to tweet about Eminem, so typed this:

———————————————————
Uzbekistan is one of the seven “STAN” countries, but do we have actual Stans?

Hint: #Eminem𓃵

Raise your hand if you think you’re a Stan :)

Did you know that the Oxford Dictionary first added the word “stan” to the English language in 2017, inspired by Eminem’s 2000 hit song “Stan”?
———————————————————
And a crazy idea hit me! I asked Chat GPT to write a poem using the information above and it came up with this beautiful rap-like poem:

Stans of the World, but Do We Have One?

Uzbekistan stands proud, among the seven “STAN” lands,
But do we have a true Stan, with devotion in his hands?
Not just a name, but a fan so true,
Hint: #Eminem𓃵 — yes, I’m talking to you.

Raise your hand if you think you belong,
To the ranks of a Stan, where passion runs strong.
Did you know, with a nod to the man,
Oxford crowned “stan” from his song?

In the year 2000, when Eminem’s tale was told,
A fan named Stan, with a love uncontrolled.
Now, in the dictionary, his legacy remains,
A word for the fans who feel it in their veins.

But here’s the twist, it’s not just a name,
“Stan” is now both a noun and a verb in the game.
You can be a Stan, devoted and true,
Or say you “stan” someone, and that works too!

So here we are, in the land of Stans,
But do we have one with unwavering plans?
Raise your hand if you think you’re the one,
A true Stan at heart, whose journey’s begun.

Last time stroke, this time Cardiac arrest. Khasanboy and the rest of our boxers should stop winning gold medals at the Olympic Games.

Writing Task Insights

- Topic: Some people believe that it is better to live in the countryside, while others believe that living in a city is more beneficial.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.

- Structure Suggestion:

- Introduction: Paraphrase the question and state your opinion.

- Body Paragraph 1: Discuss the advantages of living in the countryside (e.g., peaceful environment, lower cost of living).

📝 Collective Writing Task:
I invite you all to join my new Writing Channel, where we try to complete essays together, each of us contributing exactly one sentence. This collaborative approach will help you practice writing and see how different ideas can be structured into a cohesive essay. Click here to join and start contributing your sentences!

This is one way to respond to "Discuss both views and give your own opinion" questions.

In our collective writing practice on the other channel, we've taken a slightly different approach:

Body 1: Present the side you don't agree with, and indicate your distance by using neutral or distancing language.

Body 2: Present the side you agree with, and clearly state your opinion using phrases like "I think," "I believe," or "In my opinion."

#WordOfTheDay

To alleviate: to make something less severe or serious.

Example: The government has taken measures to alleviate poverty in rural areas.


💡IELTS Tip: this word is useful in Writing Task 2 when discussing solutions to problems or in Speaking Part 3 when expressing ideas about reducing negative effects.

Your task: Practice using the word in a sentence.

#SpeakingHelp

- Topic: Describe a situation when you helped someone.

- You should say:
- Who you helped
- How you helped them
- How they felt about it
- And explain how you felt about helping this person

💡IELTS Tip: Focus on using past tense consistently. Begin with a brief introduction and end with a reflection on your feelings about the experience.
