Sometimes, the question involves only 1 type of visual material but often, there can be more than one type of visual material in one question. Sometimes, you might be given a pair of charts of just one question, which we may call âMixed Data/ Mixed Chartsâ in IELTS Task 1 Writing.

Hey Smarties!đĽ°
Are you looking for an English book for light-reading?đ¤
Do you need any recommendation for self-help book with easy-to-read format?
Hello Smarties!
Tr.Mon requested this post which is unusual for the content of Simply Smart Page. She would like to share this book she finished reading a few weeks ago, âLove for Imperfect Thingsâ by Haemin Sunim for our audience. It was published in 2016 but still worthy to share to those who donât know. So, just for today, Simply Smart would like to upload a book recommendation post.
First, letâs start with the content of the book. There are 8 chapters in this book: Self-Care, Family, Empathy, Relationships, Courage, Healing, Enlightenment and Acceptance. Each chapter will help you heal from all negativity and toxic thoughts in your life. It will teach you self-love, how to be kind to yourself and how to overcome some relationship burnouts through practical day-to-day practices.
Personally speaking, while I was reading this book, I felt like having a warm and peaceful conversation with someone I have known for a long time. It was so relaxing and gave me solutions to my problems.
For those English learners, the sentences are mostly simple and easy to understand for interpretation. It does not include long complex structures so that you can easily follow. Besides, most of the pages are about beautiful quotes which will motivate you to continue reading.
So, if you are betrayed by your loved ones, or if you want to take a break from your going too fast life or looking for a good English book to read, please remember this book!
And smarties, share your favorite book also. We would love to hear recommendations from you too!đ¤đ¤
