TED started as a small conference but grew into a global movement. To spread ideas, it allowed local groups to organize TEDx events. However, some events included false or misleading talks, damaging TED’s reputation. One example was a TEDx talk about “Vortex-Based Mathematics,” which scientists criticized. The problem grew when TEDxValenciaWomen featured talks on pseudoscience. Critics questioned TED’s quality control. TED leaders had to listen to public feedback and fix the issue. They engaged in online discussions and created stricter content rules. They reminded TEDx organizers of the mission: spreading valuable ideas. TED also controlled which TEDx talks appeared on its main website. This strategy helped TED regain credibility while keeping its community open.
Ключевые слова B1:🔵 reputation - репутация🔵 misleading - вводящий в заблуждение🔵 criticism - критика🔵 pseudoscience - лженаука🔵 credibility - доверие🔵 organizers - организаторы🔵 community - сообщество🔵 feedback - обратная связь🔵 quality control - контроль качества🔵 discussion - обсуждение

«Я на грани срыва» - тут мало контекста, в моей голове это был "нервный срыв", но многие предложили свои варианты для разных срывов :) Мне всё понравилось.
He was on the verge of tears.
He was on the verge of mental breakdown. (буквально на грани нервного срыва)
That's enough. I'm done.
One more word and I'm about to lose my shit!
Sorry for snapping at you, I’m just on edge today.

Т.к. я в поездке и тут межсезонье ... и никого! Я подумала, что я очень люблю межсезонье, когда никого. Мне хватает просто посмотреть на море и уж тем более мне хватает +15 , когда в Москве -10.
Но есть места на свете, где всегда толпа туристов. И это большая проблема.

How overcrowding impacts the world’s tourism hotspots
All tourists want a good holiday, and no matter how uncomfortable overcrowding might be, thousands of people going to the same place at the same time feels less risky than being on your own.
https://theconversation.com/how-overcrowding-impacts-the-worlds-tourism-hotspots-235319
📝 1⃣ 📝 📝 📝 📝 📝 📝 📝
Every year, more people travel for vacations, making popular places very crowded. Some residents of famous cities are protesting against too many tourists. Some places, like Amsterdam, are now trying to reduce visitor numbers. Overcrowding happens when too many people go to the same place at the same time. Locals are frustrated because tourists enter their neighborhoods through short-term rentals. Some tourists prefer to stay away from typical tourist areas to feel more "authentic." People deal with crowds in different ways, such as changing plans or accepting the situation. Social media encourages people to visit the same famous places to take photos. Many tourists choose safer, well-known destinations after the pandemic. Even if overcrowding is uncomfortable, people still visit popular places to feel safe.
