Did you know that Cambridge says it takes about 200 hours to move one English level? Sounds reasonable, right? Now let’s do simple math. Many adults have studied English for 10–15 years. School. University. Courses. Apps. Tutors. That’s not 200 hours. That’s often 1,000+ hours. So here’s the uncomfortable question: Why do so many people still freeze, panic, and feel weak when it matters? Meetings. Interviews. Presentations. If hours were the answer, this problem wouldn’t exist. But it does. Because English doesn’t fail in the classroom. It fails under pressure. Not because you don’t know enough words. But because the person who must use those words was never built. Skills grow with time. Confidence under pressure does not. And no app, grammar book, or extra course explains this part. Most people just keep “learning more” and hope the feeling will disappear. It rarely does. Think about it.

Merry Christmas, everyone! I'm thinking of a delicious Christmas treat. Can you guess what it is? Here are your clues: 1. It's a baked. 2. It's spicy and sweet. 3. It's often shaped like people or houses. 4. According to a famous fairy tale, it can run away! What's my word? Reply with your guess!

Being able to talk on a wide variety of topics is really helpful for getting a higher mark on the IELTS test.

Today is Christmas. I don't have any special plans today, but I'm going to stay at home with my mother. We will watch TV together and eat food and cake. I think it will be a calm and nice day. Yesterday was Christmas Eve. During the daytime, I worked at my part-time job. I was a little tired, but I was excited about the night. From the evening until this morning, I spent time with my friends. We drank alcohol, ate cake, and talked a lot. These friends are in the same dance club as me, and we are very close. We had a club event on December 20, and after that, we will not be able to meet until the New Year. I felt sad about that, so I talked with my friends and invited people who were free. The best part was talking together for a long time. We laughed and shared many stories. Also, I made a cake in the evening, and everyone ate it together. They said it was delicious, so I was very happy and proud. I really love my friends in this club, so spending Christmas with them made me feel very happy. I hope we can hang out a lot again next year.

Hello native English speakers. Question about the following four sentences. 1. It cannot be but that the man is honest. 2. It cannot be that the man is honest. 3. It can be but that the man is honest. 4. It can be that the man is honest. Question: Which is grammatically correct? What does the “It” respectively refer to ? What does the conjunction “but that” function as by grammar here? Rewrite the sentences above in an easy way for me to understand (due to my terrible and poor English)
