👉 Train: recognising main idea in first sentences
Passage 3: Yes/No/NG + MCQ — work–life imbalance
👉 Train: author opinion detection + inference MCQs

Underline keywords BEFORE reading.

✍️ WRITING – High-Probability Prep
AC Task 1:
Table / Multi-line graph — energy use & emissions
👉 Use comparisons: rose sharply, remained stable, peaked, declined gradually
GT Task 1:
Formal complaint / action request
👉 Use:
I am writing to express concern…
I request that the issue be resolved promptly…
Task 2: (Same for AC & GT)
Most likely:
✔️ Two-part question
✔️ OR Opinion (agree/disagree)
High-probability themes:
1. AI replacing jobs
2. Environmental responsibility
3. Health & lifestyle
4. Work–life balance
👉 Train:
Clear thesis
2 body paragraphs, each with one strong main idea
Examples from daily life, not statistics
🗣️ SPEAKING – Likely Topics
Part 1:
Work/study
Phone habits
Daily routine
Weather / travel preferences
Part 2:
A challenge you solved
A journey you enjoyed
A person who inspired you
A helpful piece of advice you received
Part 3:
Decision-making
Technology’s impact on relationships
Travel & personal growth
Stress in modern life
⭐ FINAL 1-PAGE REMINDER
Listening Part 2 & 3 will be the hardest.
Reading Passage 3 will be inferential (NOT keyword-matching).
Writing Task 2 is unlikely to be Problem–Solution.
Speaking will be standard, but follow-ups will be slightly deeper.
