Hello! English tutor Alice here.
Here's some information about me. I'd love to know more about you.
I have lived in the US my entire life and I've never been overseas.
What country do you live in? Have you ever been over seas?
I have been to Canada but not since the mid 1990's.
I have been to multiple states here in the US. Here's a few of them that I have visited. Michigan, Florida, Georgia, Indiana and California.
Some may wonder... Alice... Why have you not traveled overseas before?
Well the answer is simple. Actually I have a few answers for this. First of all... the United States is massive. Depending on where you live in a state, it could take anywhere from a few moments to a few hours to just get to the state next to yours. And traveling across country can for some Americans feel worlds different. Cost of traveling. The cost to travel overseas is quite expensive. And the flights last many hours, much longer than a domestic US flight. Many of those flights are what we call 'Red Eye' flights....where the flight is during our over night hours. Which maybe stressful to some.
The fastest flight from my hometown airport in Kentucky to London's Heathrow airport is 7 hours and 40 minutes. The fastest flight from my hometown airport in Kentucky to Los Angeles LAX airport is around 5 hours. Some people, like myself do not like flying. I find it incredibly stressful. I have flown a few times before within the US but it's something I get a lot of anxiety about. Plus also factor in the cost of lodging and food when traveling. Cost of transportation when landing.
I think for some international students the massive size of the US and the distance between major cities that one would visit is something that is hard to realize.
Did you know...even with living in the US my entire life... I have never been to Seattle, Washington DC, New York City, Chicago, Dallas or New Orleans. That's just some major cities that I've never been to.

Do you ever feel like everyone is moving forward while you’re still trying to figure things out? You see other people getting better jobs, achieving their goals, and making progress, and you start wondering if you’re falling behind.
In this episode of The Everyday English Podcast, Riaz talks about why we compare ourselves to others, how social media can make us feel unsuccessful, and why we need to focus on our own journey instead of someone else’s.

Why Do You Feel Like You're Falling Behind in Life?

🟡🟡 Will AI Replace Teachers?🔴🔴
I don’t think AI will completely replace teachers, but it will change the way we learn. AI can explain difficult topics, correct mistakes, and provide personalized exercises. It is also available 24/7, so students can study whenever they want.
However, teaching is not only about sharing information. Teachers motivate students, understand their emotions, and create meaningful relationships with them. They can also encourage critical thinking and help students develop social skills.
In the future, AI will probably become an important teaching assistant. Instead of replacing teachers, it will help them work more effectively.
