5 speaking rules you need to know
1. Don't focus too much on grammar rules when trying to become fluent in speaking English. While grammar is important for exams, it can slow down natural speech. Instead, learn phrases that allow you to create many correct sentences.
2. Practice speaking the material you hear and read out loud. Many people can read and listen in English but cannot speak fluently because they don't practice speaking. Repeating material out loud helps speaking become automatic.
3. Surround yourself with English as much as possible by listening to audio lessons frequently, even when not studying, to accelerate learning just as being immersed in a language environment helps native acquisition.

Using Binomials
In English, when two nouns go together in a specified order they are called binomials. If three go together they are call trinomials. Examples of this might be ‘aches and pains’, ‘last but not least’ and ‘cool, calm and collected’.
As you can see the nouns are often linked by conjunction such as ‘and’, ‘or’ and ‘but’. It is important that the order of the nouns is correct and that synonyms are not used for the nouns. This is because these words together create meaningful phrases which are spoken and written throughout English usage.
Learning binomials can be a fun way of expanding your English vocabulary. The combinations often create meaning that vary distinctly from the common usage of the nouns in the phrase. These are idioms and expressions and they are the hardest part of English for new learners to understand.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Much and many
- 2. Much and Many It’s one of the simplest rules in English grammar - use ‘much’ when the noun is uncountable and use ‘many’ when the noun is countable. So why do so MANY people have so MUCH trouble with these terms. Simply put, English speaking and writing is not about remembering rules, it is about habit. So if you get into the wrong habit when using ‘much’ and ‘many’ you can go a lifetime repeating the mistakes.
- 3. Much and Many The Big Tick ‘Much and Many’ app contains over 600 sentences. Learn to recognise when ‘much’ is correct and when ‘many’ is correct. Also learn common adjectives which support the use of these terms such as ‘so’, ‘too’ and ‘very’ as well as common English sentence structures. Practice with the app regularly when you have spare time and you will start to remember the correct use of ‘much’ and ‘many’ without trying.
