S.O.S.......IELTS help, help READING SKILL, Please

A S.O.S signal sent by hopeless person​

The first, I want to thank to all the friends who woudl click on this topic, who give me a light in the dark. Its sound like I am in a sinking ship. It is true; I am in a sinking ship, of course not Titanic, just a ship that carries me to the brighter future. That is IELTS.
The second, I want to thank twice to the friends who response to me both in this topic and through PM.
This topic is created for all who want to share IELTS studying experiment, especially for saving me from the longest darkest hopeless road to IELTS score.

This is my life story.

With hope to the brighter future, I took a place in the IELTS ship; kept thinking that it will carries me to Wonderful land. There, I found myself collapsed on the way reaching a high score. You know why. This is a long long very long story.

It begun from a sunny day, under the blazing light of money, glory and honor , an idiot woke up suddenly, realized that there is a way to escape from this prison, a way to swept away all these stupid, crazy thing in misery life.

Eliminating all the stumbling õ?" block in mind, that guy decided to go on, to find out the way saving life. Of course, that guy canõ?Tt be compared to Nguyen Tat Thanh õ?" the great man went to find out the way saving his people. However, in this situation, you can consider that is the big step in life, a turning point in life of that guy.

Day by day, that poor guy gleaned money from employers, but it was small monthly salary. It cannot be enough even living below poverty line. Cheating, risking, defrauding, any thing else profitable, ( just kidding, not real )that guy some how have a small amount of money, in aims to buy a passport to luxury life.

One day there was a ship landfill. That is a biggest, nicest, swankiest ship had ever been moored on that land. The capital looks like Brad Pitt, made the poor guy cant stop thinking about the day taking a place on that ship, go to heaven.

You know what, wheels destiny tease mischievously people. If not, I have nothing to tell you, right?

Foolish dreaming about a utopian ship, a quixotic way to a better life, that guy eagerly barely scrape money buying a ticket to get in that ghost ship. The consternated adventure began, another chapter in the story.

Let me tell you about that cursed ship. It is so beautiful, like a spring strawberry with two hold, and so imaging, it can carries no limit passengers with different class from one to nine included the middle between two class. That means you can take any class you want depend on what you have, what you had prepared for that long trip. And it is so funny I have nothing.

In general, passenger can be divided in two groups, upper class õ?" which passenger comes with a good background, some weapon like assiduousness, intelligent õ?Ư. And the other õ?" lower class õ?" no money, brainless, in ad***ion even no hard working.
Do you know the price for getting on that board name IELTS ? Minimum you have to pay about $ 100. At last, that poor guy have enough money for a ticket.

That is the beginning, there some thing putted to drop you down. I will tell you later.
You already known, there is two kinds of people, bad guys and good guys. Bad guy can let you down, entice you, get around you to make you lose control, rush into them and so hard to say goodbye to that kind of people. And on that board there are some. But two side to every story, there are bad guys and also good guys. Good guys like TTVNOLer right? .

Unfortunately, that poor guy naturally make friends with a bad guy name Lazy, you know why, cuz thatõ?Ts basic instinct. Like fate, they seem to be a couple in the previous incarnation. Every times the poor guy want to make friend with some other guys like IELTS Cambridge or IELTS Preparation or some thing similar. The bad friend Lazy immediately destroyed new born relationships by a most expensive bomb a nuclear, ever victorious enemy, the terrorist name Fall asleep. Life is not fair, right? the poor guy could never say goodbye to that bad friend, thats destiny

However, there is two lonely guys on a luxurious boat, I think so, cuz they have only a few friends. People often think that they steal too much time,. They name Music and Movies, they are brother. The poor guy make friends with them, there is a true and sincere friendship between threes of them. The poor guy always shared emotion with them, listened to them, thereõ?Ts no doubt, they are honest friend.

Surprisingly, two lonely brother Music and Movies are rich man. They are in upper class, sympathize to friend, they give a hand. The poor guy never thought Music and Movies are generous like that. They gave poor guy some gift. Those gifts are so helpful on that damn IELTS board. You know what, the gift is Listening and Speaking skill.

The IELTS board will be cast anchor in different port, and the different class will go to different port. The poor guy donõ?Tt know where is the exactly port to come, just go on, and think about a hypermetropic. Cuz there are four big obstacles on the way anchoring the board. The gifts Listening and Speaking skill will help the poor guy pass 2 of 4 obstacles. However, there are two remaining, Writing and Reading part.

Like Jack on Titanic movies, what makes him to be Rose lover is a romantic mind; the poor guy also had that. It could help the poor guy pass the Writing mountain. Finally there only one storm that the ship have to overcome, no shelter, no magic, no friend, no help.


I m that poor guy, sending all of you a S.O.S signal, help, please. Any introduction, any hint will be gratefully thank
Thank for clicking in this topic!
reply to this topic to help me survive! please

I think your writing is good except some mistake with word choice and grammar. But they are just tiny. The way you write is interesting but frankly speaking, who are patient enough to read such a long text like that. Sorry if this annoys you. :"D
There is no choice but practise reading ielts as much as possible. In that way, u can time yourself and get yourself familiar with what the test will give u. Buying some books specialized in reading section and try to finish them (of course, in 1 hour as allowed). Good luck!

Tại sao Reading lại khó​

Tiếng Anh lởm khởm thôi thì em viết tiếng việt cho nó phong phú, không có định nói A lại ra B khiến các bác hiểu thành C thì tèo.
Em xin trình bày là hoàn cảnh nhà em nó thế lày: quả thật là em gặp vấn đề về Reading, không hiểu các bác thế nào chứ em là em phục các bác mà reading giỏi nắm ạ. Em nhớ không chính xác lắm nhưng mà có lần em xem trên tivi thấy ở bên Tây hình như cũng có người họ mắc phải bệnh đại loại như kiểu thiểu năng đọc hay sao ý, hay là em cũng mắc phải bệnh đấy, Quả thật là cho em 20 phút đọc một bài báo bằng tiếng Việt (khoảng 1000 từ thôi) xong em còn chẳng nhớ để mà trả lời câu hỏi chứ đừng bảo là tiếng Anh lại còn vào cái chủ đề như kiểu :" Phương pháp chữa 1 cái bệnh quái quỷ nào mà từ cha sinh mẹ đẻ đến giờ em cũng không biết" thì em ..... đúng là bó bột toàn thân. thế mà thi Ai ÈO Tờ sờ ( IELTS đánh vần theo tiếng Việt ) lại có đến khoảng 3 cái bài như thế thì các bác bảo em làm răng
Thế nên em kính xin họ hàng gần xa, bà con cô bác, các hạ , tiền bối, tri nhân tri kỷ ....vân vân và vân vân ai có nòng giúp em với,
Rõ ràng là từ ngữ mình không thể nào nhiều như người Anh được, thế nhưng bảo em đọc tiếng việt khoảng 3 bài như thế xong em cũng tẩu hoả nhập ma chứ chẳng phải tiếng anh. hu hu. các cao nhân xin chỉ bảo, xin cứu kẻ hèn mọn này với
rất mong hồi âm và trao đổi về các kỹ xảo điện ảnh à nhầm kỹ xảo đọc ( em phải dùng từ kỹ xảo mới đúng vì nếu dùng kỹ năng thì chỉ dành cho những bác có khả năng đọc rồi chăm chỉ luyện tập mà thành kỹ năng thôi ( giống như công phu vậy đó ) còn em thì thiểu năng đọc nên phải dùng tiểu xảo để qua thôi. Quả thật em thấy có chỗ này chỗ kia bảo là skim word thế này thế kia nhưng mà em không biết làm thế nào ai hiểu thì chỉ em với, em xin hậu tạ ngàn sao

hey, actually , I don''t think that reading is really an impediment to you. You have shown your multifariousness in range of vocabulary and sentence structures in your writing . I''m sure that you can overwhelm the last obstacle with a little bit of practice .
