I set a goal for myself to achieve an 8.0 in the IELTS examination. My way to overcome this challenge started in 9th grade. At that time, I didn't really know what I needed to prepare for or what was significant in my learning. I was just practicing every test. It was really a difficult thing for me because I scored about 5 or 6 bands initially. Over time, a friend of mine bought a course for the IELTS test, and he helped me by giving some advice on preparing for it. He really supported me, and after that, I built my plan for this challenge. Day by day, I started following my plans and tracking my daily goals. By the end of 11th grade, I achieved a band score of 8.0. Yes, it's a really good score for Kazakh people, as our first language is Kazakh. So, it's quite challenging for us to learn English.
