A skill that took me a long time to learn is IELTS. IELTS includes four different skills: reading, speaking, writing, and listening. It is harder than other subjects because I had to overcome many difficulties in each skill. The reason I wanted to learn IELTS is that it can be a tool for me to apply to top-notch universities, and it can also help me improve my English from a basic level to an academic level. Now, let's talk about the learning process. It was really tough for me. At first, it was hard for me to absorb so much knowledge, especially in reading. I had to remember a wide range of vocabulary and practice full tests every day. Speaking was also difficult for me, as I needed fluency and basic communication skills. Since I didn't have any foreign friends or anyone to practice with, I ended up talking to my walls every night, which felt kind of weird. Another significant difficulty for me was writing. I had to learn how to structure my essays and express my ideas clearly, which took a lot of time and effort.
