#QandA
What are the best movies for learning English?
Good question! Movies are great for learning English. =)
First you need to think about your own level of English. The films you watch should match your level. I think that if you can understand around 70% of the speech, then the film is probably ok for you. Less than this may mean you are not able to follow the story/plot. If you are a weaker learner, perhaps start with short films or serials (30–45 mins each).
👀Here are a few tips to help you learn English through movies:
👉SUBTITLES: Yes, watch with English subtitles, BUT use VLC player to delay them by 2 seconds. This means you will listen first and read second! If you just focus 100% on the subtitles, you will not improve your listening skills.
👉BRITISH VS. AMERICAN: If you are studying British English, watch UK films. If you prefer American, watch Hollywood movies. Accents and vocabulary can be very different. It’s good to know both, but focus on just one first.
👉DON’T WATCH BORING FILMS: If you find the movie boring, then choose another. This should be fun! Boring films will kill your motivation to study. Perhaps start with some movies you like and have already watched in your own language.

What are G ,E ,H ,H+ ,LTE , 3G, 4G, 5G displayed on your smartphone when you switch on mobile data for internet?
In mobile communications, frequently, the terms GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSPA and LTE appear. These terms refer to different standards of data transfer and are noticeable for the mobile phone user mainly.
First, there was only the GSM network, then there were improvements of the GSM network, finally the newer and faster UMTS network, and again improvements of it. The faster UMTS network is not yet available everywhere, so, often you have to go over the older and slower GSM network even today.
About the abbreviations on your smartphone notification bar.
G stands for GPRS and is the slowest standard, used is the GSM network (2G).
E is an extension of GPRS, it is called EDGE and it is correspondingly a little faster, but still uses the old GSM network (2G). EDGE is used to refer to 2.5G
3G (3rd Generation) stands for UMTS and is the successor to the GSM network and faster.
H and H+ are standing for HSPA and HSPA+. Both use the UMTS network, where H is faster than 3G and H+ is faster than H. 3.5G, which is usually considered to be HSDPA or HSPA or HSPA+
4G (4th Generation) stands for LTE (Long-Term Evolution).
5G (5th Generation) is the mobile network that has replaced 4G, with a copious amount of improvements from improved rates of transmission speed to network coverage, and reliability.

According to the old adage, "Prevention is better than cure," it is better to prevent a disease from occurring than to treat it later. This is a critical issue for countries that face limited healthcare resources, as they must decide how to allocate their budgets effectively. I firmly believe that a large proportion of a country's health budget should be directed towards health education and preventive measures.
First and foremost, investing in preventative measures can help avert numerous health problems, thus reducing the financial burden on the healthcare system. By promoting healthy lifestyle habits, such as proper nutrition, regular exercise, and hygiene, individuals can reduce their risk of developing chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. This, in turn, reduces the need for expensive medical interventions and treatments, freeing up resources for other essential healthcare services.
Furthermore, investing in health education and preventative measures can have a significant impact on public health outcomes. Educating people about common illnesses, preventive measures, and warning signs can lead to early detection and treatment of diseases, which can result in improved outcomes and lower costs. In addition, investing in public health programs, such as vaccination campaigns and disease surveillance, can help prevent the spread of infectious diseases, reducing the likelihood of epidemics and pandemics.
Finally, investing in preventative measures can have long-term benefits for society. By promoting healthy lifestyles and reducing the incidence of chronic diseases, individuals can enjoy longer and more productive lives, resulting in a healthier and more prosperous society overall. This can lead to a virtuous cycle of better health outcomes, increased productivity, and improved economic growth.
In conclusion, diverting a significant proportion of a country's health budget towards health education and preventative measures is a sound investment in the long-term health and prosperity of its citizens. By promoting healthy lifestyles, preventing disease, and reducing healthcare costs, such investments can have a positive impact on individuals, communities, and society as a whole. Therefore, I strongly agree with the statement that prevention is better than cure, and that preventative measures should be prioritized in a country's healthcare budget.

👉Opinions against the study of history:
Some argue that the study of history is a waste of time and resources. They believe that the past is irrelevant to the present and that we should focus our energy on addressing current issues.
Others argue that history is subjective and biased, and that we cannot truly know what happened in the past. They believe that the study of history is therefore inherently flawed.
Some argue that the study of history can be harmful, as it can lead to nostalgia and a desire to return to a romanticized past. This can lead to a rejection of progress and a resistance to change.
Finally, some argue that history is too complex and nuanced to be of practical use. They believe that the study of history is interesting from an academic perspective, but not relevant to everyday life.
