I'm confused between A and B to be honest. But, I suppose "... becoming an essential component of kitchens" does not have the same meaning as "the smart fridge is an an essential component of kitchens". (it is becoming an essential ... but not yet..)
^^
Thank you for your effort simon!!

CORRECT ANSWERS FROM SIMON:
B

D
Note:
"A" is wrong: the company (LG) hope that the fridge will become an essential component of kitchens, but that doesn't mean it IS an essential component now.
"E" is wrong: the fridge doesn't make the decisions. It helps the user to make them.
"F" is wrong: it suggests healthy recipes using the food inside, but it doesn't tell you which foods are healthier.

Hi DNN,

Hi Mandeep,
If you're asking for the entire bank of possible topics on the IELTS, I don't think Simon has such a list. I don't think examiners make the questions.
If you want tips, this entire site is full of those! Check the links on the left side of this page.
The most effective measure against nervousness is developing your skill through practice. There are a lot of helpful relaxation techniques but they fall beyond the scope of this site.

Hi Simon,
In listening section, which usually bothers me is hyphens. Sometimes I don't know whether or not a word is built with hyphens. Do I lose my mark because of missing them.
Can you help me to figure out that!
Thank you Simon.

BCF, were my answers. You're right Simon, we're all need to have a more practice! Thx to your site for this opportunity!

Don't worry about hyphens. You won't lose marks because of that.

Hi Simon,
Thanks a lot for putting all these tips and practice tests for students. This is really very helpful. I appreciate you doing it.
Next, i heard this smart fridge listening and i am pretty sure that they don't mention that company "HOPES" that fridge will become essential, they simply say " LG electronics is banking on its new smart fridge, becoming an essential component of kitchens around the word" it does not mention anything about "HOPE" so why option A is not true.
Please explain as i can't figure it out on my own.
Thanks

Hi Varun,
The expression 'banking on something' means that you are hoping for it.
