(1) Albert Einstein’s wife often advised him to dress more professionally when going to work. Einstein would always reply, “Why should I? Everyone there already knows me.” But once, when he was about to attend a major conference for the first time, his wife requested him to dress up nicely. Einstein smiled and said, “Why should I? Nobody there knows me!”

(3) People often asked Einstein to explain his Theory of Relativity in simple terms. One day, he explained it like this: “Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it will feel like an hour. Sit with a beautiful girl for an hour, and it will feel like a minute. That’s relativity!”

(4) When Albert Einstein was working at Princeton University, one day he forgot his home address on his way back. The taxi driver didn’t recognize him. Einstein asked, “Do you know where Professor Einstein lives?” The driver replied, “Who doesn’t know Einstein’s house? Everyone in Princeton knows it! Do you want to meet him?” Einstein smiled and said, “I am Einstein. I’ve forgotten my own address. Can you take me there?” The driver took him home—and didn’t even charge him for the ride.

(5) Once, Einstein was traveling by train from Princeton. When the conductor came to check the tickets, Einstein reached into his jacket pocket—but the ticket wasn’t there. Then he searched his trousers’ pockets, but still couldn’t find it. He looked in his briefcase and then around his seat—but the ticket was nowhere to be found.

The conductor said, “Dr. Einstein, we know who you are. I’m sure you bought a ticket. Don’t worry about it.” Einstein nodded gratefully. The conductor moved on, but a few minutes later, when he turned back, he saw Einstein down on his knees, searching under the seat for his ticket.

The conductor rushed back and said, “Dr. Einstein, please don’t worry. We all know you. You don’t need to show the ticket. I’m sure you purchased it.” Einstein looked up and said, “Young man, I too know who I am. What I don’t know is where I’m going!”

(6) When Einstein met Charlie Chaplin, Einstein said,
“What I admire most about your art is its universality. You don’t say a word, yet the whole world understands you.”

Chaplin smiled and replied,
“That’s true. But your fame is even greater—the world admires you, even though no one understands you.”

What's another way of saying "in my opinion"?

“By my reckoning” sounds pretty sophisticated and I use it a lot.

You can use these phrases as well to prevent the redundancy of saying “in my opinion” :

My take on this is …
My impression is…
To my mind…
From where I stand…
As I see it..
In my view…
From my point of view…
From where I'm sitting…
In my estimation…
From my standpoint
From my perspective
According to me..
I believe that . ..
I'm stretching my answer to help the students. If you are writing an academic essay, you can use these alternatives:

It seems to me that…
I think that…
I would argue that…
I'm unconvinced that…
Making concessions :

Of course some / many people argue
It is sometimes argued..
Clarifying an opinion:

To be more precise..
By this I mean…
Here I'm referring to ..
Hope it helps.

Short story


A man has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for stealing millions.

Two years after the start of his sentence, he received a letter from his father:

"My dear son, you left me old and sick. It's planting season and I have no one to help me plow the field and sow the corn. I wish so much that you were here. God willing, we will meet again."

The son replied:

"Dear father, please don't dig the field yet. That's where I buried all the money I stole. Wait for my release."

Since all the prisoners' letters are read by the guards, the next morning more than 100 prison officers showed up at the father's farm and turned it upside down, but they found nothing.

The son then wrote to his father:

"Dear Dad, I hope you appreciated the help I gave you. You can now go and plant your corn."

Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 and 2 have been traveling through space for over four decades, expanding humanity’s reach far beyond the solar system. Voyager 1 is now the most distant human made object, over 25 billion kilometers away, with signals taking more than 23 hours to reach Earth, while Voyager 2 follows at roughly 21 billion kilometers.

Both spacecraft have entered interstellar space, sending back invaluable information about cosmic rays, magnetic fields, and regions untouched by the Sun’s influence. Their instruments continue to provide scientists with a unique view of the space between stars, helping humanity understand the universe on a scale never before possible.

In addition to scientific instruments, each Voyager carries the Golden Record, a time capsule featuring Earth’s voices, music, and sounds, intended as a message to any extraterrestrial life that might encounter them. These missions embody human curiosity, ingenuity, and the desire to explore beyond known horizons.

Do you know the real reason behind the origin of the middle-finger gesture?

The middle-finger gesture:

We often see many people raising their middle finger when angry, especially in Western countries. This gesture is understood to mean an insult such as “curse you” or “to hell with you.”
But in reality, this gesture did not originally carry this meaning at all. Its origin goes back to a very old story from the year 1415, during the famous battle between the English and the French known as the Battle of Agincourt.

At the beginning of the battle, the French forces had the upper hand. They used to cut off the middle fingers of captured English archers so they would no longer be able to shoot arrows. Medieval English arrows were long-feathered and required the middle finger to pull the bowstring and aim accurately.

But soon the outcome changed: the early French victory turned into defeat.

The English, in a gesture of defiance, began raising their middle fingers toward the French to show that their fingers were still intact—and that they could still shoot arrows.
Since then, this gesture became known as a sign of challenge or defiance.

_A sad story about Nobody_

This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realised that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody, when Nobody did, what Anybody could have done.

How do birds find direction during long-distance migration?

Birds find direction during migration by using a combination of biological sensors and environmental cues. The most important mechanism is magnetoreception, which allows birds to detect the Earth’s magnetic field.

One mechanism of magnetoreception involves magnetite (Fe₃O₄) particles present in the upper beak of birds. These magnetic particles are connected to nerve endings of the trigeminal nerve. Changes in the Earth’s magnetic field affect magnetite, and the resulting nerve signals help birds identify magnetic direction and geographical position, particularly useful during long-distance flights.

Another scientifically proven mechanism involves chromoproteins called cryptochromes, located in the retina of birds’ eyes. Cryptochromes are light-sensitive and work mainly under blue light. The Earth’s magnetic field influences chemical reactions within these proteins, creating visual patterns. Birds are believed to see the magnetic field as light and dark bands, which helps them determine direction accurately.

Apart from magnetic sensing, birds also use the Sun as a compass, correcting their direction with the help of an internal biological clock. Nocturnal migratory birds rely on star patterns for navigation at night. In addition, landmarks, smell, and memory assist birds in fine-tuning their routes. Together, these mechanisms enable birds to navigate over vast distances with great precision.

How City Farms Can Help to Feed the World

When you think about where your food comes from, you probably imagine fields in the countryside with animals and tractors. But more and more of our food is actually being produced in towns and cities.

According to a report released earlier this year, urban farming is a rapidly growing global business that is already worth over $5 billion.

The report from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations found that this growth has been made possible by high-tech farming systems, such as indoor vertical farms with LED lights and remote-controlled robots.

In some ways, urban farms can be better for the environment. Because of their controlled environments, farms inside greenhouses or buildings use less water and land, and require fewer or even zero pesticides.

Because city buildings and roads absorb and hold heat, cities often experience a heat island effect with much higher temperatures than surrounding areas. But urban farms can help reduce this effect.

For example, when food is grown on rooftops, the plants can help keep the buildings cool, which also helps cut energy costs by reducing the need for air conditioning.

Another big benefit is that food grown in the city can be eaten right there, it doesn't need to be sent long distances, and this reduces its carbon footprint.

One problem of farms inside greenhouses or buildings is that they require a lot of energy to run. So it's better for the planet, and probably more affordable for urban farmers, if they use renewable energy like solar or wind power.

A study done in 2018 found that urban farms were already producing between 5% and 10% of the world's vegetables. And an Australian study published in August found that urban farming can improve global food security.

When we consider how to feed the world's growing population, it seems that urban farming has an important role to play.

Which sentence is correct?

1. You deserve to having a new car or 2. You deserve to have a new car. When does the gerund work after the preposition to?

The second sentence is correct.

The gerund works after “to” in expressing a preference. Examples:

“I prefer having a new car to having an old car.”
“I prefer having a lot of money to being poor.”

Imagine Dragons - Believer

First things first
I'ma say all the words inside my head
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh-ooh
The way that things have been, oh-ooh
Second thing second
Don't you tell me what you think that I could be
I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea, oh-ooh
The master of my sea, oh-ooh
I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Writing my poems for the few
That look at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from heartache from the pain
Taking my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down and build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
First things first
Can you imagine what's about to happen?
It's Weezy the Dragon, I link with the Dragons
And we gon' get ratchet, no need for imaginin'
This is what's happenin'
Second thing second, I reckon immaculate
Sound about accurate
I know that strength, it don't come, don't come without strategy
I know the sweet, it don't come without cavities
I know the passages come with some traffic
I start with from the basement, end up in the attic
And third thing third
Whoever call me out, they simply can't count
Let's get mathematic, I'm up in this, huh
Is you a believer?
I get a unicorn out of a zebra
I wear my uniform like a tuxedo
This dragon don't hold his breath, don't need no breather
Love you Ms. Cita, the son of a leader
I know the bloomin' don't come without rain
I know the losin' don't come without shame
I know the beauty don't come without hurt
Hol' up, hol' up, last thing last
I know that Tunechi don't come without Wayne
I know that losin' don't come without game
I know that glory don't come without...
Don't come without...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down and build me up, believer, believer
Pain
Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Last things last
By the grace of fire and flames
You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh-ooh
The blood in my veins, oh-ooh
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited 'til it broke open and rained down
It rained down, like...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down and build me up, believer, believer
Pain
Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...

"fight sb" or "fight with sb"

Both "fight sb" and "fight with sb" are used, but they have different meanings:

- "Fight sb" usually means to physically fight or oppose someone.

- "Fight with sb" can mean to argue or quarrel with someone, or to physically fight alongside someone (depending on context).

Marie Curie, the discoverer of radium, the first woman (and one of the very few) to win the Nobel Prize and the only woman to have won it twice, shared with many scientists a certain absent-mindedness, a sort of bored detachment from worldly things.


One day the maid entered the laboratory, very frightened: "Madam, madam," she shouted, "I swallowed a pin!".

"Good, good," the mistress replied, "there is no reason to be alarmed: there is another one here."

And mathematicians, then, are unsurpassed...

The brilliant Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdos was a decidedly eccentric man.

He never had a formal academic position or a fixed home to live in.

He traveled constantly around the world, living for short periods with friends and colleagues.

He knew the telephone numbers of numerous mathematicians by heart, whom he did not hesitate to call at any time of the day (ignoring the local time), but apparently he did not remember their faces.

In fact, when he once met a colleague at a conference, Erdos politely asked him where he was from.

"Vancouver," the man replied.

Erdos's face lit up.

"Really? Then you must know my friend Elliot Mendelson."

There was an awkward pause.

"I'm Elliot Mendelson," came the reply.

“Is there any difference?”, or “Are there any differences?”

If what is being looked for is a singular difference between two objects, as in “What is the difference between these two objects,” then the first sentence is correct. But when what is being looked for are multiple differences between two or more objects, then the second sentence is correct.
