Hi everyone! I just came across a sentence on my textbook that goes, “There are solutions that could light a path towards more sustainable and fair farm economy, but farmers can’t awkwardly put them together before us.” I’m not sure about the latter part “but farmers can’t awkwardly put them together before us”. Or the sentence itself is grammatically incorrect? Could anyone please explain?

Last weekend was very exciting and full of new experiences. On Saturday, I joined a practice session with a yosakoi dance team. They were adults who already had a lot of experience, and I felt very lucky to dance with them. Their movements were strong and beautiful, and their smiles made the atmosphere bright and fun. I learned many things from watching them. For example, I realized that dancing is not only about steps but also about energy and expression. I want to improve my own dance skills, so I will try to copy their positive attitude and their way of smiling while dancing. It was truly inspiring, and I hope I can join them again in the future. On Sunday, I went to a fashion exhibition. It was for one of my favorite brands, and they showed the 2026 Spring and Summer collection. The clothes were very stylish, and I enjoyed looking at all the designs. Among the items, I found a very cute hat. I liked it so much that I decided to buy it. The staff told me that it will arrive in January, so I am really looking forward to wearing it. It will be fun to match it with my other clothes when spring comes. Another special moment was meeting the designer of the brand. I felt very happy because I admire their work, and it was exciting to see them in person. This weekend gave me both inspiration and joy. Dancing with the team taught me about effort and expression, while the exhibition gave me new fashion ideas. I feel motivated to keep learning and enjoying the things I love.

Hi! How does it sound when people use "delicate" to refer to someone's sensitive personality? Old-fashioned? Literary? Or mostly acceptable? I personally like using 'delicate' for beauty or craftsmanship. I am not sure if it's common though😊

### **Article Title: Master the Deep Sound of Arabic: The Letter 'Ayn (ع)** **Introduction** Is the letter **'Ayn (ع)** the hardest sound you’ve encountered in Arabic? You are not alone! Many students confuse it with the simple "A" sound or a Glottal Stop (Hamza). Based on the anatomy of the throat, here is a simple guide to finding this "deep" sound in 3 easy steps. ### **1. Find the "Spot" (The Middle Throat)** Unlike English sounds that come from the mouth or lips, the **'Ayn** lives deep in the throat. * **Look at the diagram:** The sound comes from the **"Wasat Al-Halq"** (Middle Throat). * **The Touch Test:** Put your finger gently on your Adam’s apple (middle of your neck). This is exactly where the magic happens. ### **2. The Secret Move: Squeeze, Don’t Block!** The scientific trick to this sound involves the **Epiglottis** (the flap in your throat). * To make the sound, you need to pull the muscles of your throat **backwards**. * Think of it as creating a **"Partial Squeeze"**. You are narrowing the passage of air, but you are NOT closing it completely. ### **3. 'Ayn vs. Hamza: The Golden Rule** This is the most common mistake for beginners. * **The Hamza (ء):** This is a complete stop of air. Like the sound in the English word "Uh-oh!". The air stops fully. * **The 'Ayn (ع):** As the image shows, this is a **"Sustained Constriction"**. The air must continue to flow, but it sounds "tight" and deep. It’s like a deep friction sound in the throat. ### **How to Practice?** 1. Start by saying a clear "Ahhhh". 2. While saying it, try to tighten your throat muscles and push the sound deeper, as if someone is gently pressing on your throat. 3. The sound should tu
