Answer

It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

A site that I visit often is the aljazeera.com website. It is a news site that gives news reports from around the world on a day-to-day. I started following this website during the pandemic period in 2020 because I found their reports on COVID-19 extremely helpful and interesting. This website helped me get into my love for journalism. I like how they detail even mundane events in an interesting manner and the use of visuals and the photography team that they have are extreme professionals who know what they are doing. Apart from the Al Jazeera website, other places that I often frequent are the BBC website, NDTV and Drishti IAS. As someone who is interested in gaining knowledge about real-world events, I find these websites to be helpful in expanding my knowledge and understanding how the world works, especially in the field of politics and economics. Recently, Al Jazeera's efforts to cover the Palestinian atrocities has been, I would say, by far the best across all news agencies. They have done the most extensive groundwork possible and they have kept on doing this since October 7th from last year. I think their work is commendable and it is my dream to one day work for this agency and contribute to their website.

Basically, the site I am about to talk is CoilBot. It is a AI tool which helps you correct your grammatical mistakes in English. I came across this site through my boss, whom I was working on an online project. He used to give me paragraphs to rewrite the sentences. So according to me, I wrote those sentences, but trying to keep it on, I tried to use CoilBot grammatical, CoilBot grammar site. Then I got the idea to use it very often. So whenever I need to check my grammar mistake, I visit that website more often. And however, I like that website because it helped me a lot to improve my grammar. And I have learned a lot of new words from that.

Band 6-7

The activity that I do, the website that I go through is AI Poplexity. I got AI Poplexity from my friends, I got to know about it from my friends. And AI is the sites which help people in enhancing the work or else AI can help people in most of the thing. And I do often go through that website daily because of my studies, it do help me in studies and AI is the thing which can help everyone in day to day life, for example, AI can enhance the writing or AI can do work for us, it would be time efficient.

Band 6-7

A website which really helped me and assisted me in my spiritual journey is of course Instagram. I really love to use it often. It is one of the most visited site in my mobile phone. There are various beautiful spectacular pages on the Instagram that helped me reach to my potential of meditating well. I am also a fan of yoga as well as spiritual awakening is also my taste. So I really learn good things from beautiful pages like The Higher Self, The Third Eye, Jai Shetty, Radhika Devavikya. I am also interested in cooking especially the Radhika Devavikya's channel. It is amazing. She posts all the links which are linked towards the YouTube and I really practice those amazing recipes and then I feed my loved ones by preparing those cuisines. Instagram also helped me share funny reels with my friends. It really makes my day as it has so much to do with connecting people around. I am really really fascinated about the travel destinations which are seen through the Instagram that we can easily discover through it and I can post whatever I am doing and really I can't imagine my life without Instagram. I think I am sort of addicted to it a lot.

Band 6-7

There are a lot of websites which are present on the internet helping us in various different ways in different areas of expertise but the most visited website for me would definitely would be Reddit which is booming since past 3 to 4 years. It is one of the websites that engages people and tries to have a conversation on various different topics. I came across this website when I was researching for my studies during the examination and it helped me a lot during that time. But although it was quite engaging and you know it was not addicting sometimes but there are lot of interesting things that are going on that app or on the website. I think the overall concept is quite good on that website that you would engage with different people and have conversation on the new things that are going on and in contrast to the different websites that doesn't have that kind of interaction and conversation with other fellow members on the internet. I think this is the most fascinating thing and creative way of expressing and having a space on the internet.
