1. Listen to some podcasts. This activity is particularly useful if you are trying to improve your listening for the IELTS exam. There is a massive variety of podcasts out there, you just have to choose one that you're interested in and listen. I would suggest listening to the same podcast a few times before you move on, you'll find it easier to follow and to focus on the vocabulary and pronunciations if you hear it often.

2. Read a book in English. Reading is a great way to improve your English vocabulary, another very important part in passing your IELTS exam. The more you improve your vocabulary, the better your chances will be that you are going to get the score you want in reading and writing. Choose a book that you know well, something you might have read in your own language before, a book that's been turned into a movie, children's books or (if you want a good challenge) you can choose something that just seems very interesting to you. Make sure that you have a pen and paper with you while you read so that you can write some of the words down and remember them. It is also a good idea to have a dictionary close so that you can look the word up. I like <a href="http://dictionary.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(2, 97, 255);">Dictionary.com</a> because you can hear how to pronounce the word correctly and you can download the app on your phone.

3. Do some online lessons. Being in lockdown means that you are not able to socialize and talk to others like you normally would. This can be a very big problem for those who are trying to improve their English speaking, because if you don't speak regularly you lose it quickly. Luckily you can do some online sessions with an English teacher or tutor who can help you to keep the English going. Even if you do one session a week, it will help.
