@Radha Rani You’ve given thoughtful answers here, and I especially like how you connected the ideas from the book to your own experience with your daughter. That’s a great example of reacting with emotion versus observing the emotion before responding. A few useful corrections: - “a common thinking” → “a common belief” - “passed to next generations” → “passed down to the next generation” - “learnt from their ancestor” → “learned from their ancestors” - “the anger captured me” → “I was overcome with anger” - “I calmed down myself” → “I calmed myself down” - “they started buying” → “they start buying” - “they walks on the track” → “they follow the path” - “society have given them” → “society has given them” For Q8, a very natural way to express your idea would be: “They follow the path society has laid out for them because they want to fit in and are afraid to do something different.” Great job going beyond simply summarizing the chapter and thinking about how these ideas apply to real

@Radha Rani Great summary! You captured the main idea clearly: earning money is not enough; financial knowledge helps you manage and keep it. A few corrections: - ❌ they broke → ✅ they went broke - ❌ everything they had built demolished → ✅ everything they had built was destroyed - ❌ won a lottery → ✅ won the lottery - ❌ became millionaire → ✅ became millionaires - ❌ basket ball player → ✅ basketball player - ❌ at very less pay → ✅ for very little pay - ❌ emphasized on → ✅ emphasized - ❌ make the Empire State Building → ✅ build the Empire State Building I also like your reflection. A more natural version would be: “Being able to manage and keep the money you earn is more important than simply earning more money.” Nice work! Your summary shows that you understood both the examples and the larger lesson.

@Radha Rani This is excellent progress! Moving from translating everything to thinking directly in English is a big step toward greater fluency. A few small corrections: I usually translated every word and sentence from Hindi to English when I started learning English. But after a few months of practice, I started thinking in English. Yes, sometimes I still get stuck in situations where I have to think of some words in Hindi first and then translate them into English. It happens when I can't remember the exact English word for a Hindi expression. Then I think for a while about what other words I can use to express the idea. During that time, I think in Hindi. My mind thinks things like, “Isko kaise bataau?” or “Isko kya bolte hain?” But within a few seconds, I switch back to English again. And what you’re doing when you can't remember a word is actually a very useful communication strategy. Instead of stopping, you're thinking, “What other words can I use to express this idea?” This is called paraphrasing. For example, if you forget the word “exhausted,” you could say: 👉 “I was extremely tired.” You communicated the same idea without needing the exact word. One small challenge for you: when your mind says “Isko kya bolte hain?”, try training yourself to replace it with “How can I say this in English?” Over time, even those little moments of internal dialogue can start happening in English. You’re moving in the right direction—keep practising!

@Radha Rani This is wonderful to hear! We’re very happy that you found SORA and that you’re enjoying being part of the community. Your message is already very clear. Here are a couple of small changes to make it sound more natural: “I was searching for a platform with serious learners where I could focus on learning without too much unrelated chit-chat.” “Then I learned about the Skool app, and luckily, on my very first day, I found SORA.” I especially like that you used “came to know about.” This is common in Indian English and is perfectly understandable, but in Canadian/North American English, “learned about,” “heard about,” or “found out about” would usually sound more natural. We’re extremely happy to have you here too! Your consistent participation, questions, and practice are exactly what make a learning community valuable. Keep it up!

@Radha Rani That’s a very common experience when learning to speak another language. You may know a word when reading or listening, but retrieving it quickly during a conversation is a different skill. Your sentence is already very clear. I would make one small change: English is getting easier for me when I do all the activities you mentioned above, but when it comes to speaking, I often forget the vocabulary I already know. Instead of “always forget,” I’d suggest “often forget” unless you literally mean every time you speak. One thing that can really help is practising retrieval, not just learning more vocabulary. Choose 5 words you already know and challenge yourself to use each one in a spoken sentence without looking at your notes. And when you forget a word during a conversation, don’t stop speaking! Try describing it using words you do remember. For example, if you forget umbrella, you could say, “the thing we use when it rains.” That ability to keep communicating is an important part of becoming a confident speaker.

@Tursun Bugra Great job using First, Then, After that, and Finally to organize your ideas! A few small corrections: First, I woke up. Then, I took my stomach medicine. After that, I had breakfast. Next, I read the driver’s handbook. Finally, I checked my blood sugar. Remember, we usually take medicine, not eat medicine, and we say check my blood sugar. Nice work practising sequencing!

@Radha Rani This is a nice description of your morning routine! You’re also doing a good job using sequencing words like first of all, next, then, after that, suddenly, and finally. A few corrections will make it sound more natural: After getting up, first of all, I washed my face. Next, I went for a walk. Then I cleaned the house. After that, I took a bath and started preparing breakfast. Suddenly, I heard thunder. I noticed that it had been raining since morning. Finally, I had breakfast while looking outside and enjoying the rainy view. 🌟 What to work on The biggest thing to notice is verb tense consistency. You started with the present tense (wash, go, clean) but then changed to the past (took, started, heard). Because you’re describing what happened this morning, keep your verbs in the past tense: wash → washed go → went clean → cleaned take → took start → started Also, instead of “I heard a thundering sound,” we would normally say “I heard thunder.” And “doing preparations for breakfast” is understandable, but “preparing breakfast” or “getting breakfast ready” sounds much more natural. Great job using sequencing words to organize your story. For your next practice, try telling us about your evening yesterday while keeping all your verbs in the past tense.
