I don't think it is a matter of belief. The universe is enormous in its volume, and there are infinite planets and galaxies we haven't observed yet. So we just cannot say whether there are alien species or not.

A well-written essay can still lose marks if it does not answer the whole question. In IELTS Writing Task 2, some questions contain two separate parts. Make sure your essay responds clearly to both. For example: “Why do people choose to work from home? Is this a positive or negative development?” Your essay must explain the reasons and give your opinion about whether the development is positive or negative. Before writing, underline each part of the task and turn it into a simple planning question. This takes only a few seconds and helps you stay relevant throughout your essay.

Choose the correct answer.

Hello native English speakers. Thank you very much in advance. There are many contexts where native and non-native speakers are at an advantage if they understand not just polished, elegant language, but the full breadth of ordinary and unusual expressions (both those that are grammatical and those whose grammaticality is perhaps questionable). (original) I guess : if they understand not just polished, elegant language, but the full breadth of ordinary and unusual expressions = 1. if they understand the full breadth of ordinary and unusual expressions rather than just polished, elegant language.? OR, 2. if they understand not only just polished, elegant language, but also the full breadth of ordinary and unusual expressions. ? Which is correct by grammar and by the context of the original?

Language learning is a complex cognitive function that puts different parts of the brain at work. Spaced repetition technique can help the memory improve over time by revisiting materials at increasing intervals. This is why I give my clients or my students additional materials to study. This helps them improve retention over time. #languagelearning #thebrain

AI overdependence and cognitive decline which affected language learning Note: I have been teaching for 13 years and by far students in the past have better performance in classes because they really utilized their cognitive function to excel in a new language. AI is revolutionary indeed because it helps increase productivity. However, Overdependence leads to a decline in cognitive function. Language learning is a complex cognitive process which requires effort and critical thinking abilities. Despite the popularity of technology, I have noticed that many students are not improving their fluency , especially those who use AI on a daily basis. Many students are not improving their writing skills because they let AI do the work that they are supposed to do. What many students forget is that it is the complexity of the task and the difficulty of the task that helps build neural pathways in the brain. This is why language learning improves cognitive function , as long as it is done the right way.

It’s interesting that a survey tells there still are huge numbers of people believe in ghost nowadays. What is your opinion about ghost? I will show you mine first. When I was very young, one day I had asked my mother whether ghost existed or not, and she gave me the positive answer with her couple of experiences witnessing paranormal events. At the night, I was scared to not sleeping alone, so the belief in ghost had stuck in my mind since then. However, I have come to put away that belief with time passing and got to develop a reasonable perception of the world. We live in a scientific and modern society, and we tend to believe what we see, hear, smell and touch. China is a country filled with various stories of ghosts and spirits, especially in form of play, opera, tale, and even a particular holiday connects to the concept. On the other hand, as I noticed, paranormal stories usually happen in some rural areas where often seen as backwards, as well as a bunch of witnesses appear to be uptight in their personalities. Additionally, fascinating operas or movies in terms of ghost and spirits are mainly made to entertain the audience. Is my answer for that negative? not really. I like the idea of a scientist, he was like “It would feel totally nonsense if you state the existence of electricity three hundred years ago, so does that your voice and photos can manager to be sent anywhere on the planet immediately. Things remain unknown to what science has not revealed yet.” Certainly, we understand very little about the universe and ourselves as yet. What if ghost and spirits were in parallel world? In my opinion, the question on the top of this writing has no correct answer, I leave it open.

One of the best way to learn a language is to memorize some useful phrases, and making new sentences according that phrases. For example "how are you" is in Arabic كيف حالك in this Arabic sentence you can make new sentences by replacing the last letter ك ، like "how is he, كيف حاله" ، "how is she, كيف حالها" ، "how are they, كيف حالهم".
