What does this map show?
Good but not good enough!
💡 The map was about population size. In case you didn’t know it, two countries alone account for 40% of the world’s population: China and India. Other heavily populated world regions include Southeast Asia and Europe. Meanwhile Russia, Canada and Australia are ridiculously small.

#126 Our favourite mistakes: Vocabulary & Grammar
▶️ Please translate the following sentence:
Imtihon paytida shovqin o’quvchilarga xalaqit berishi mumkin.
❌ Perhaps you think it is:
While exams noise can effect on students.
✅ Well, it should be:
During exams noise can affect students.
❓Why?
❗️ Students often confuse the synonyms while and during. Generally while is followed by a verb, e.g.: While students take exams … or While taking exams …. During is followed by a noun.
❗️ The two words effect and affect are synonyms, too, but not completely. While effect can be positive or negative, affect is always negative.
❗️ Effect is a noun, not a verb. The usage is have an effect on sb/sth.

#12 Documentary: God Grew Tired Of Us (2006)
▶️🇸🇩Sudan was the biggest country of Africa until 2011 when 🇸🇸South Sudan became the world’s youngest nation which it still is today. Prior to (=before) South Sudanese independence there were decades of bloody conflict between the stronger Arab North and the Black Christian and Animist (=nature religions) tribes in the South. At some point the 🇺🇸United States agreed to resettle (=make sb live somewhere else) some “Lost Boys” who had lost their homes and families and escaped. Watch how they cope a mixture of appreciation and proper culture shock, the latter (=the last mentioned one) producing many funny moments actually.
