Like many of you, my first idea was bread, but on a second thought I was more more convinced that it is a coffee bean, and I WAS RIGHT.I've seen the correct answer in the comments as well. Thank you! A good job 👍👍👍

🔰Before we kick off the IELTS speaking discussion, let me introduce the rules of the chat.
1 As the amount of time of the discussion is limited, only prepared students are advised to participate.   
2 Only speaking part 1 questions will be asked and each speaker is allocated around 5-6 minutes.
3 Make sure that you have stable internet connection and check your voice system e.g. a microphone, speakers. In case I am not able to hear a speaker clearly, I will have to mute them and allow next candidate to speak.
I hope everything is clear with the requirements. See you in the chat at 9 p.m! 😊

All of the participants have done a great job today! I like the way they are trying to be natural as much as possible. Thinking, pausing and hesitating are natural part of a speech. This can happen even when you talk in your native language. The bottom line is you keep talking and trying to walk through your listener. Finally, the students who didn't have their chance today, you'll be first on my list next time👌

Prezident bo’lsang o’zinga, men o’z vazifamni bajarishim kerak!
Oldinroq ‘The designated Survivor’ filmini ko’rishni tavsiya qilgandim. Shu filmning bir qismida san’at maktabi o’qituvchisi prezidentga san’at sohasiga yetarlicha pul ajratilmayotgani uchun uning maktabi yopilishi mumkinligi haqida murojaat qiladi. Prezident huzuriga kongresmenni qabul qiladi va bu masalani ko’rib berishini va maktabga pul ajratib berishni so’raydi. Kongresmen esa hali byudjet taqsimoti vaqti kelmagani va bu ishni qilolmasligini aytadi. Prezident esa san’at ham muhim soha ekanligi va bu maktabni yopilishi yaxshi ish emasligini tushuntirmoqchi bo’ladi. Biroq kongressmen xalqning katta qismi byudjet asosan texnologiya va ilm-fanga sarflanishi tarafdori ekanligi va byudjet taqsimotida bu borada prezident bilan debatga tayyor ekanligini qat’iy takidlaydi. Eng qizig'i ikkala holatda ham korruptsiya va nepotizm alomatlari yo’q. Nima deb o’ylaysiz rostan ham Amerikada shunaqamikan?🤔

If there is anyone from Tashkent who is willing to play football this weekend, I’m organizing a football match in this stadium which you can see in the picture😄. We have a friendly team consisting of my friends some of whom English teachers like me. We need a couple of players to join us. Don’t worry if you think you’re not really good at it because we’re not also top-notch. I am covering the cost of the stadium, which means you don’t have to pay for it. All you need to do is to pay for your transport cost. If interested, contact me @BekzodHayitov to secure your place.
Date: Sunday, July 23 Time: 20:30
Location: Tashkent city, Chilanzar district. (I’ll share the exact location if you contact)

#Football_vocabulary Are you interested in football?! So am I😍. From now on I will share football expressions in English. I believe you will find them useful to improve your overall English as well. We will learn two phrases for today: to do the double red-faced Manchester United beat Manchester City to do the double over their city rivals. To do the double means to beat another team home and away in the same season in the league.
The City goalkeeper was left red-faced as he allowed an Anthony Martial volley to go under him. To be red-faced means to be very embarrassed. You can use the word leave with red-faced.

#Reading_practice One is the lopsidedness built into scientific research. Scientific funding goes mainly to areas with many problems. That may be wise policy, but it will also create an impression that many more potential problems exist than is the case

Endi telegramda ham story degan narsa paydo bo’libdi. Instagramda faol emasman, oxirgi paytlarda facebookga ham ko’p kirmaydigan bo’ldim, chunki facebookda oldin yondashuv boshqacharoq edi, insonlar faqat hayotlaridagi muhim bo’lgan (milestones) davrlardan foto va video highlightlar qilishardi. Hozir Instagram bilan Facebookni farqi qolmadi. Both have the same BS. Endi shu BSlar telegramda ezvormasa bo’ldi. Fikrimcha, storyda auditoriyangiz uchun message bo’lish kerak. Masalan, o’zi xalqaro darajadagi o’qituvchi chekka hududlarga borib, o’qituvchilar yetishmaydigan joyda, o’quvchilar bilan ishlayotgani jarayonidan story qilsa, yoki shifokorlar yosh bolalar turli kasalliklardan aziyat chekayotgan hududlarga borib ko’ngilli ravishda yordam berayotganini story qilsa, bu sizni ham ruhlantiradi. Lekin hozirgi storylar qanaqadir boshqacha, yo meni yoshim o’tyaptimi? ‘Qaranglar, mana men bugun uyg’ondim, kecha qizil paypoq kiygandim, bugun oq paypoq kiyaman’ deb story qo’yish ham normal holat bo’lib qoldi. Mayli, pozitiv bo’lishga harakat qilaylik, yaxshi bo’lar hammasi.
