The debate about national army subscription concerns implementing compulsory military service or conscription in a country. This debate typically involves weighing the benefits and drawbacks of requiring citizens to serve in the armed forces for a certain period of time.
Supporters of national army subscription argue that it promotes national defence, fosters a sense of duty and patriotism among citizens, and provides valuable training and discipline. They believe mandatory military service helps build a solid and capable defence force, ensures a fair distribution of national security burden, and enhances social cohesion.

This conversation class explores how inheritance in the post-COVID era has fuelled the rise of this wealthy middle class, who now display their newfound wealth by owning luxury cars, watches, and jewellery.

The hottest IELTS writing topics can vary from time to time as current events and trends influence them. However, some recurring topics include climate change, technology, education, health, and social issues. It's essential to stay updated with global news and current affairs to be well-prepared for any potential IELTS writing topic.
In today's podcast, we look at the role of a traditional TV and how its value in a household has changed. Families continue to bond but in different ways. As a family, we no longer value the idyllic scene of watching television together. Portable devices such as tablets, laptops, and smartphones have set a new precedent.

Welcome to this one-on-one podcast. Numbers are and always will be one of those topics with limited online materials.
This is one of the main reasons I wanted to provide help, which I hope you will find valuable if you are preparing for an English exam.
Before I begin, let me explain the format. I will read sentences in a similar style to the IELTS listening exam format. The task is simple: listen and write down the numbers you hear.
I have provided the text on our blog to simplify this task, so you only have to fill in the missing numbers.
I will also provide the answers so you can check your work. There will be more recordings, which will be premium, coming soon and exclusively available on Spotify. This may suit students needing more practice with numbers to prepare for an exam.

Some students assume that Business English is a different language. It seems frustrating at the best of times that after passing exams, integration into a work environment is challenging. One word will help define this, and it's; "formality".
Simply put, there are three main considerations: high, medium, and low, otherwise known as Very formal, semi-formal, and casual. The type of organisation that you work for depicts the business tone.
In this episode, I will show you some business compound prepositions, business Phrasal verbs, how empathetic voice tones can make a difference and slang used in a work environment.

Is the banking system simply favouring the younger generation? After all, post-COVID, they have profited from inheritance and now have more disposable wealth.
Hello and welcome to this episode of One2one Podcasts. With society leaning towards a cashless society, banks have decided to close high street branches in a move that will probably put an end to the way cash flows through economies.
The older generation will be cut off from traditional banking and rely on help and assistance with everyday tasks.

The debate between saving for tomorrow or living for today is one that has been ongoing for years. It is an age-old question that has no right or wrong answer. It is a question of personal preferences and circumstances. While some believe that it is important to save for the future, others argue that we should enjoy life while we can.

I unlock some of the myths surrounding Phrasal verbs and give insight into how they are used. We use phrasal verbs in English because they add nuance and depth to our language. Phrasal verbs are formed by combining a verb with one or more prepositions or adverbs, and they often have multiple meanings depending on the context in which they are used. These verbs are an essential part of conversational English and can be used to express a wide range of ideas and actions.

Answering a business phone in English as a second language is important for five main reasons:
-
Professionalism: Speaking English fluently and confidently on the phone portrays a professional image to clients and customers. It shows that you take your job seriously and are capable of handling business communication effectively.

Global communication: English is the international language of business, and many companies conduct business with clients and partners around the world.

-
Customer service: Clear communication is essential for good customer service. By speaking English fluently, you can understand customer inquiries and respond appropriately, ensuring that their needs are met and they feel valued.

ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
A highly controversial topic. Given its significance to a global society, it is popular with English exam boards. Alternative energy should be on your radar when preparing for an exam. It's very popular because it requires a stronger opinion in the English language rather than softer topics like friendship. Thanks for joining me for this IELTS writing task based on alternative energy.

Features Of The Duolingo Exam
The clock is ticking, time seems to be shooting ahead, and you don't want to be left behind. A virtual finish line separates students who made it to Canada and those who didn't.
Yes, I'm talking specifically about emigrating to Canada. Unfortunately, the COVID situation has created delays with families impatiently waiting for this situation to change.
True that a cure is in sight and there is the hope of some resolve. Families are now turning towards a new trend, and it's called Duolingo.
There are advantages with taking this exam, especially with the concept of time. This test can be taken from the comfort of your own home. Universities in Canada will recognise this exam in terms of obtaining a student visa.
Is this test right for me?
It's a great question if you are not very good with traditional exams such as IELTS and during times of uncertainty can't guarantee test dates, this could be the answer.
Listening, reading, speaking, and writing are still used as the criteria to measure your abilities. Nevertheless, unlike the traditional format of sections, questions can follow no particular order prompting you to respond quickly.
The test itself is approximately an hour long. Preparation for this exam will require you to learn and apply grammar, so don't be fooled. A study plan is still needed, and the grading system is scored between 10 - 160. Some of the more prestigious programmes may demand a higher score; this will usually be above 120.
Score Differences
Duolingo/IELTS
75 - 80 = 5
85 - 90 = 5.5
95 - 100 = 6
105 -110 = 6.5
115 - 120 = 7
125 -130 = 7.5
130 - 140 = 8
145 - 150 = 8.5
Do not get carried away, Duolingo as a concept is not considered a qualification to find employment, only consider your grade to a University requirement as a visa condition.
What does the test include, and how can One2one help?
You will need to type a statement that you hear.
We ensure that dictation is available to you both in class and specially designed Podcasts.
Completing missing letters from text.
Vocabulary building and providing you with paragraphs will prompt you to practice spelling, but we also focus on spelling essential vocabulary in class as part of your training.
Listen to audio recorded words and select the real words from fictitious ones.
We focus on most exams critical vocabulary used in most exams to ensure that you can understand regularly featured terminology.
Reviewing words in text format to decipher false words from real words.
Building vocabulary is the only way to understand how to complete this task successfully.
Describing a Photo
We have been helping people describe photos for exam formats since 2011 and show you how to develop this skill.
Recording yourself saying a written sentence.
Some of our homework involves you sending us audios based on this task.
Verbally answering a recorded sentence.
This is the closest you will get to speak to a person in the exam; we will train you to develop this skill.

Usually, you are asked to provide an opinion based on comparing advantages and disadvantages.
Talk between 1 to 3 minutes.
Used as a measure of intonation, speed of speech, grammar theory, you will be given a topic to talk about. We ensure that speaking is featured in every class.
The Duolingo exam format is quite diverse; there is a section which has a focus on dictation. Although it's a computer-based exam, there is a section where you will have to demonstrate your ability to type sentences. This section shows that you know how To apply capitalisation, spelling accuracy and punctuation such as commas and full stops. Over time, you will develop speed, which will prove beneficial as you will be more accurate with practice. If your end goal is to obtain a student visa, the education body needs to know that you can take notes and apply this skill.
Listen carefully and write down exactly what you hear.
