Rise and fall 📈📉

One of my favorite YouTube channels to listen to while I'm cooking or warming up before a run is "Rise and fall" by Michael Girdley.

And it's not just fascinating business stories. The videos contain a lot of #IELTS Writing Task 1 language too. The pattern "a whopping N%" is in every other video. And the business stories -- you can use them as a source of ideas or examples in IELTS Writing Task 2.

Here are a couple of my favorites:

1️⃣ The story of the rise and fall of Nike

2️⃣ The story of the rise and fall of Craigslist
