• what’s the easiest way to tell if something is formal or informal language?
• what’s the best way to learn new words?
• are there any good books I can read to improve my English?
• what are the best tips for getting rid of my foreign accent when I talk in English?
• how do I write a well structured essay? (I always get 19/20 points and it makes me sad :sob:)

How do we stop ourselves from making stupid spelling mistakes over and over again? And can we use emojis in our essays :star_struck:

Should we use Google Dictionary or Thesaurus to find alternative words to make your essay/text more… nice? Sometimes they show words which mean completely different than the actual word and we use them without actually knowing the meanings which may make people go ‘wut?’ when they read our essay/text. And yes, I did this once or twice and got a bad grade smh.
