Hello! My name is Isabella, and I'm Italian. I'm studying English and also preparing the IELTS exam! I'm looking for someone to have an English conversation with, so we can practice our speaking skills!! Feel free to contact me 😊

a teacher asked me if I would go back to work at that place. I said I won't work there anymore actually. she said it's good, because last time when she saw me I looked really tired and sleepy. I didn't even open my eyes properly. she even doubted that if I was going through depression or something like that. indeed, when I was stressed and threatened last year, I met a musician who played piano for different churches who said that she will pray for me. I said maybe they just had sympathy for me, but really encouraged me and helped me survive in darkness. she said, no, not only they had sympathy for you, but God guided you into that situation. then she gave me the example of Balaam and His Donkey. then I realized losing that job was a blessing in disguise. 12 Years a Slave; enough was enough. working is good, but trying to do something that is too difficult or too much is not necessary.

Is the word “abnormal” being used appropriately in the following sentences? Should we take a closer look at the different shades of meaning a word carries before adopting it in our writing?

Hello! Then basically italki changed the design of students and besides not being intuitive it is confused in my opinion. Before was super simple to navigate and now looks like a circus. Design is only normal if we use the app. The only design that remains normal is that of teachers, but the student's page has become terrible. What is your opinion?

Hi! I've recently come across the phrase "for all (someone) cares" and GPT told me it's a fixed English idiom. Is that right? I know it's not meant literally. I've often heard it in TV shows and movies, but I never thought about it grammatically. I find its capability of producing an ironic meaning is interesting! For example: He can quit tomorrow, for all I care. → I really don't care if he quits tomorrow.

How do you say this another way? I did my money's worth.
