A simple question I'm writing a short paragraph for my english class, and I have this question: Can I use "rather" in a formal writing? I've heard that people say this very often, but I do not know if I could use it in a writing. For example, in the next sentence: "Leo acknowledges that he will die someday, but he does not think about it. He’d rather think in a positive way." Please, help me with this.Leave a comment. I would appreciate it. Thanks

The Large Distance Between Beliefs and Truth People normally take their beliefs as truths, but we don't know certainly whether they are true or false. Therefore, the ramifications of people’s realizing this could be very shocking. This leads to the possibility that beliefs could be either beneficial or harmful depending on how much we believe in them. People should know that their beliefs don't have all the answers, but it's not bad to have a belief, as long as we don't overestimate it. First of all, there are some people who overestimated their beliefs and they had to pay the consequences. There was a case about a couple who were accused of killing their daughter, because she didn’t receive a proper medical treatment. These parents thought that praying for her daughter could be as effective as a conventional treatment given by a doctor. In fact, if the child had received medical treatment hours before her death, she might have lived. However, this was not possible because of their parents’ belief. Second of all, other people followed their beliefs, but they didn’t think this was the only answer. In this case, a man was diagnosed a severe ailment, but he was determined to overcome this problem. At this point, he believed that if he had a positive attitude, he would live longer. Finally, having his medical treatment together with the positive attitude made him live longer than doctors expected, and this possibly couldn´t have happened if he hadn’t followed this belief. In brief, having beliefs could bring consequences. Whether they are good or bad just depends on us. First, people could think their beliefs have all the answers and they don’t need anything else. On the other hand, others know beliefs are not everything and trust in real facts. please correct it if you see something wrong, thank you.

Damages or benefits in beliefs Sometimes, beliefs can be harmful or beneficial, and there are a couple of examples which can be mentioned. First, the case of the Hermansons, who were accused of killing their daughter because they did not give her proper medical treatment. Instead, They prayed for her recovery. If the child had just been treated hours before her death, she would have lived. People should not be too dependent on their beliefs. At least in this case, a child paid the consequences. On the contrary, Norman Cousins's case is different. He was diagnosed arthritis, but he never gave up. In fact, he believed that if he had a positive attitude and positive emotions, some of his symptoms would heal. Indeed, he lived longer than the doctors expected; something which might not have happened if he hadn't followed this belief. In summary, the Hermansons and Norman Cousins had a belief, but it is clear when this belief can be harmful; reason why people should think more about what they believe. please correct it or give me some suggestions, I would appreciate it. thank you.

A transexual teacher hounded by the press His name was Nathan Upton, and he was a primary school teacher in Accrington, UK. He had decided to have a sex change surgery and become Lucy Meadows. Since that day, “Miss Meadows”, as her students called her, was hounded by the press. Moreover, concerns from some parents were reported in the media, with one saying that his sons were too young to be dealing with that. Lucy Meadows killed herself after three months of being put under scrutiny of the media because of her sex change. At that time, people accused a magazine columnist of having lack of judgment. From the columnist's perspective, not only had Lucy chosen the wrong body, but also the wrong job. This could've caused Lucy a great anguish, leading her to commit suicide. However, before her death, Meadows had contacted the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) in January to complain about the way she had been treated in the press after her sex change was made public by a local newspaper. there are some words I have to use like scrutiny, perspective, anguish, judgment so please try not to change them. It's a writing I have to due tomorrow.

What I expect about my english advanced course today I had to write about what I expect about my english advanced course. I'm taking the advanced 7, and I'm just 2 months away to finish my english studies. Well, this 3 last courses I'm taking are just writing, Wich means I have to write a lot. The peculiar thing about this is that I had to write it in spanish. Well, I decided to translate it so that you can correct me if I'm wrong. This is what I wrote: I hope this course help me improve my vocabulary and grammar, and also my creativity. All the previous skills learned in the other courses are needed in this particular course. Therefore, It makes it more difficult, but at the same time I practice all I learned by writting about different topics, comment them, and giving my point of view. I think this course will make one feel free to express what they want by writting it on a piece of paper, Which will make one increase its(i'm not sure about this) confidence.
