You missed the live lesson on Task 2?

It is not too late to join cuz I am going to teach how to write a task 1 report in the next live lesson) https://t.me/+QyCetoCH_clkNzE6

Are there any people who have recently taken CD IELTS? If yes, can you share task 2 question you got in the comments section?

Ive decide to use this test in the mock test for my students tmrw) along with the reading past paper?

Someone who is a dead ringer for another person (often someone who is famous) looks exactly like them. We also say that someone is the spitting image of someone else, meaning they look very similar. This idiom is often used to describe family resemblances:

He’s a dead ringer for the Harry Potter actor.

She’s the spitting image of her mother at that age.

Two other idioms relate especially to similarities within families. If two people, especially siblings, are like two peas in a pod, they are extremely similar, especially in appearance. Someone who is described as a chip off the old block is very similar to one of their parents, either in appearance or behaviour:

As children, they were practically identical – like two peas in a pod.

Dan’s son is a chip off the old block, isn’t he?

If you say that someone or something is in a particular (UK) mould/(US) mold, you mean they have the same appearance or characteristics as that person or thing:

Of course, he was never a striker in the Ronaldo mould. / We needed a charismatic, dynamic personality, and she was very much in that mold.

Two people who are cut from the same cloth are very similar, especially in character or behaviour:

As far as the voters are concerned, the two candidates are cut from the same cloth.

In UK English, when we say that there is little (to choose) between two people or things, we mean they are very similar, especially in their abilities or qualities:

In terms of athleticism, there is little to choose between the two teams. https://t.me/malikovwrites

**Some students take one year off between finishing high school and going to university, in order to travel or to work.

Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?**

There is a growing trend of high school graduates taking a gap year between school and university. While there are some drawbacks, I would argue that advantages of this development far outweigh its drawbacks.

One evident disadvantage of taking a year off is a late career start. When students start university studies one year later, this means that their entry to job market will be delayed. This may negatively impact their career progression, particularly in some fields where early entry is preferred. Another downside is the interrupted flow of learning. After a gap year, students may struggle to transition back to their study routine. This will eventually take its toll on students’ focus, leading to a poor academic performance.

Despite these disadvantages, I strongly believe that taking a one-year break can bring about several advantages. Firstly, it allows young people to develop practical skills. During the break, they can apply for internships or volunteer in non-profit organizations. As a result, they will be able to acquire new skills and build up a stronger resume, proving useful in their future endeavors. Secondly, school leavers can enjoy cultural immersion by travelling and explore new cultures and traditions. Exposed to new ways of life, these people can broaden their horizons and develop a deeper understanding of the world. Finally, a gap year enables students to be more refreshed. Continuous study often leads to academic burnout, and taking a break can prevent this from happening. With renewed focus, energy, and motivation, students will perform well academically upon resuming their studies.

In conclusion, it has indeed become commonplace for students finishing school to take a gap year. Although this may have negative effects on students’ learning ability and future careers, I think that there is nothing to worry about. Rather, students will enjoy a much-needed break and opportunities while they pause their studies for one year.
