My elder female cousin used to be my idol. She is 5 years older than me, she seems didn't study hard, but she could get a top score among students. She used to be very introverted and nervous, but she jumped out her comfort zone becoming the monitor and made a lot of friends. As her little sister, she was like always ahead of me and led me. I dreamed to be an excellent student just like her. Nowadays, it's hard for me to name an idol any more, because I value my own thoughts so much and I rely on myself. Having an idol or not, I still know well about myself: which I can do or which I can't. I would say the impact of having an idol is decreased for me as I have become an adult so many years. I don't have an idol in life now, but there are many people I show my respect and look to them. I think people is not perfect, but there is always some aspects I can refer to as a role model.

Why do we use "like" in this phrase? "Can you shut up for like once in your life?"

Hi community! Could anyone help me to get the meaning of the phrase "once in action" in the following extract from the article about a nuclear facility? The extract: "For six weeks, Sellafield’s engineers prepared for the task, rehearsing on a 3D model, ventilating the cell, setting up a stream of air to blow away the molten metal, ensuring that nothing caught fire from the laser’s sparks. ONCE IN ACTION, the snake took mere minutes to cut up the vat. But then the pieces were left in the cell. No one had figured out yet how to remove them. The snake hasn’t been deployed since 2015, because other, more urgent tasks lie at hand." Does it mean that they strated doing it for real, or it was their another time of training on the 3D model? I would REALLY appreciate your help!

MY FAVOURITE FLAG My favourite flag, apart from the Italian one of course, is the Brazilian one because of its colour. There is a little yellow on it and yellow is my favourite colour. Also, yellow, green and blue match very nicely in my opinion. Shape-wise I really like the Nepalese flag. Its particular shape makes it recognizable among all the other flags in the world. I don't know the meaning that lies behind these 2 flags. If you do, feel free to share it with me! Thanks!
