I don’t think anyone else has mentioned this, but the calm vibe you give in your videos actually makes me do better in exams. What I mean is, other channels, have an *overly* professional atmosphere around them. This makes me stress too much when I write descriptive writing, and ultimately spend too much time thinking about what to even write, because I keep thinking of how I’ll do badly. You however, have a good ratio of professionalism and “I’m your friend”. It calms me down. After this video, I was able to write a piece of description that was 34/40!! Mind you, I never got this much before, because I simply didn’t have time to write anything. Thank you 🙏 You’re a true teacher

The sound that haunted me, like a sinister shadow in the dark creeping up on me. A guilty conscience. We can still get out of this, I told myself.
