Band 9.0 Sample Answer
Lately, I haven’t had much time to go out for a movie since I’ve been up to my eyeballs in reports and presentations. Hence, to relax and boost my mood, I rented some good old movies and made myself some healthy snacks for a late-night treat. “Silver Linings Playbook” is one of my all-time favourites, and I’ve lost count of how many times I've replayed it. The last time I watched it was a week ago, on Saturday night. Oscar-nominated movies were usually not to my taste due to their complexity and lack of entertainment, but Silver Linings Playbook was an exception. I’ve always preferred something a little sentimental, lighthearted, yet meaningful, and this movie had it all. Silver Linings Playbook was an adaptation of the novel written by Matthew Quick, starring two incredibly talented actors, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. This romantic comedy movie was about two wounded souls who once again found beauty in the most unexpected places. Pat Bradley, a former teacher, was just released from a mental institution and is trying to reconcile with his cheated wife despite his family’s protest. He met Tiffany (Jennifer), a woman with problems of her own, and things got complicated. Two people bearing hidden scars with no hope in the future finally had light in their lives again. The movie was not heavy at all but extremely entertaining, with some laugh-out-loud moments. No matter how many times I’ve watched it, I still get emotional every time I replay it. The underlying message was also a shout-out to anyone who believes they have hit rock bottom: “When one door closes, another door opens”. Therefore, keep moving forward and don’t lose hope. If anyone runs out of movies to watch, I highly recommend “Silver Linings Playbook” as a change of pace.

We conduct two simulative IELTS tests on Friday and Saturday. The difficulty level of our mock tests is a notch higher than the actual IELTS test. This strategy helps our students prepare for the toughest test day, enabling them to sail through the IELTS test on their first attempt with a good band score.
