The word BOTHER is used in a few other ways. Here are the most common ones:

1️⃣ “To bother sb” means to cause inconvenience, annoyance, or trouble to someone.
🙄 It bothers me when people talk loudly on the phone.📱
😞 Don’t bother him now; he’s busy with work. 💼
😕 What’s bothering you? Tell me. 🤔


2️⃣ “Don’t bother” is used to advise someone against taking a certain action because it’s not worth the effort.
🚫 Don’t bother asking him, he won’t come. 🤷🏻‍♂️
👎🏻 Don’t bother bringing an umbrella; it hardly ever rains here. ☔️
✋🏻 Don’t bother waiting for me; I’ll catch up with you later. 🏃‍♂️


3️⃣ “No bother” indicates that something is not a problem or inconvenience.
👍🏻 No bother, I can help you with that. 😊
🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 No bother at all, I’ll help you clean up. 🧹

📌Suggest
 

We can use the verb suggest with a noun phrase, a that-clause, the -ing form of a verb or a wh-question word (where, what).
Suggest + noun phrase
We can use a noun phrase as the object of suggest:

Can you suggest a good restaurant in this part of town?

If we need to mention the person who receives the suggestion, we use a to-construction:

My teacher suggested an exam I could take at the end of the year. (or My teacher suggested an exam to me which I could take at the end of the year.)
Not: My teacher suggested me an exam …

Suggest + that-clause
When we suggest an action to someone, we can use a that-clause. In informal situations, that is often left out:

I suggest (that) you leave here around four o’clock. The traffic gets very bad from about 4.30 onwards.

When suggest is in the past, we can use should in the that-clause:

Her doctor suggested that she should reduce her working hours and take more exercise.

Suggest + -ing form
We can use suggest with the -ing form of a verb when we mention an action but do not mention the person who will do it, because it is understood in the context:

She suggested travelling together for safety, since the area was so dangerous

*️⃣The Happiness Industry: How the Government and Big Business Sold Us Well-Being
'Happiness is the ultimate goal because it is self-evidently good. If we are asked why happiness matters .we can give no further external reason.
It just obviously does matter.' This pronouncement by Richard Layard, an economist and advocate of 'positive psychology', summarises the beliefs of many people today. For Layard and others like him, it is obvious that the purpose of government is to promote a state of collective well-being. The only question is how to achieve it, and here positive psychology can show the way a supposed science that not only identifies what makes people happy but also allows their happiness to be measured Equipped with this science

SATISFACTORY vs SATISFYING

We use satisfactory when we want to describe something that meets basic standards or requirements.

We use satisfying when we want to convey a sense of pleasure, fulfillment, or contentment.

Is that clear? I’m not going to give you examples but rather a test:

1. “The results of the experiment were satisfactory and met all the necessary criteria.” 🧪

2. “The book was incredibly satisfying, leaving me with a deep sense of joy.” 📚

3. “Her explanation was satisfactory and covered all the points needed for understanding.” 📝

4. “Helping others can be very satisfying, providing a sense of purpose and happiness.” 🤝
