Problem: Encountering unfamiliar words in reading/listening.

Problem: Confusion with complex tenses, prepositions, or sentence structures.
Solution:
Example:
Issue: "I have lived here since 5 years.
Correction: "I have lived here for 5 years." (Use "for" with durations, "since" with start dates.)
Problem: Struggling to understand main ideas or details in texts.
Solution:
Example:
Text: "Photosynthesis, a process in plants, converts sunlight into energy.
Summary: Plants use sunlight to create energy through photosynthesis.
Problem: Organizing ideas or maintaining coherence.
Solution:

Outline:
1. Intro: State your position (e.g., "Yes, to improve focus").
2. Body 1: Evidence (e.g., studies show reduced distraction).
3. Body 2: Counterargument & rebuttal.
4. Conclusion: Restate position.
Problem: Difficulty understanding accents or responding fluently.
Solution:
Example:
Phrase to practice: "Could you clarify what you mean by...?

Solution:
Example:
Logical Puzzle: "A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs $1 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?
Answer: The ball costs $0.05.
Explanation:
Let ( x ) = ball price. Bat = ( x + 1 ).
Total: ( x + (x + 1) = 1.10 ) → ( 2x + 1 = 1.10 ) → ( x = 0.05 ).
