    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.

    One website that I often visit is YouTube. I go there everyday because it offers a wide variety of content ranging from educational videos to entertainment. I use it frequently to watch tutorials, listen to music and also learn new skills such as cooking and language practice. It really helped me in preparing for my IELTS. What I really like about YouTube is its personalized recommendation based on what I have previously watched. It suggests similar videos which saves me time. Another feature I enjoy is the ability to subscribe to channels so I don't miss new updates of my favorite content creators. This website enriches me in many ways. For example, it helps me to improve my English by watching IELTS practice videos. It also keeps me updated on world news. At the same time, it provides me relaxation when I want to unwind some light entertainment. Moreover, YouTube is not only a source of fun but also a platform that contributes to my personal growth. This is why I feel like I keep going and visiting this website more often than I usually do.

    I am an architecture student who designs a lot and one of the most useful websites that I have seen and gone across is Pinterest. Pinterest was introduced to me by my colleague during my college days. Pinterest is a website in which there are many creative people who post their own ideas and concepts for other people to gain inspiration on. Pinterest helps me personally to get inspiration in designing conceptually while I do my planning and designing of a building or any other architectural project. Main features of Pinterest are it basically filters out the ideas, sorry my bad, it actually filters out images as per your liking. For example, if I like cars and if I like interior designs, then the app itself will automatically filter and showcase me only cars and interior design images for my reference. One of the benefit in the professional world of Pinterest is I can show my clients the references that I am talking about instead of curating it myself and spending more time on it when even when the design is not finalized. And Pinterest is also free to use and is accessible from any app or computer. Pinterest was actually founded by an architect himself and it is a vast platform in which many people engage with each other and also can, you know, follow each other's works just like other apps like Instagram.

    One website that I almost visit every day is YouTube, I use it almost for all my entertainment and for learning purposes, so it's like my go-to place whenever I have free time or quick learning information. The homepage is usually filled with videos based upon my interests, everything for tech reviews and productivity tips to travel vlogs and cooking tutorials. I really like how it recommends the content I didn't even know I wanted to watch. The design is clean and easy to navigate, there's a search bar at the top right corner and the sidebar neatly organizes the subscriptions, playlists and all the trending topics. I mostly watch the videos about technology or English preparation tips and sometimes just funny clips to relax. One thing I love is how it's so interactive, you can like, comment or even join the live chat during a stream. I visit this site so often because it's both useful and also addictive, whether I need to prepare for my exam or learn how to fix a laptop issue or just unwind, YouTube always has something for me, it's like having a library, cinema and classroom all in one place. So I really like this website and I think everybody should use this website because it's really informative and also helpful.

    A website is a place, a website is a network. A website is a place, a network is a network. The website that I often visit is Islamic Q&A website. It's Islamic, as the name suggests, it's an Islamic website that has all these questions and answers of different topics. It's very good for teenagers like us or growing Muslims. We can ask their questions and the people with knowledge answers the questions with references and without any judgements. You can hide the name, you can be anonymous, it doesn't matter. They just answer your questions and help you understand Islam better and be a better Muslim. The website is really good if I compare it with others because it is very simple. It's not that fancy, it's a very minimal type looking website. You can ask your questions there, you get your answers within 24 hours by some specialists there or alims that made their site.

    The website is Wikipedia. It's a go-to source for quick information. Wikipedia is a free collaborative online encyclopedia that provides information in almost every topic imaginable. It's written and edited by volunteers around the world, making it one of the largest and most accessible, knowledgeable bases on the internet. The site is organized into millions of articles, each focused on a specific subject, whether it's history, science, culture, or current events. Each page usually includes sections like background, key facts, and references. One of the strengths is the constant updating of content, especially for current events and emerging technologies. While it's not always perfect, Wikipedia is often a useful starting point for research. Thanks to the broad scope and easy-to-understand summaries, it's a place I'd visit frequently to pull general knowledge and verify facts. Further, Wikipedia is a description. It might often visit or reference it. Wikipedia is fully now based and formed into AI, i.e. Artificial Intelligence.

    A website that I have recently visited more often is IELTSLIS. I have taken IELTS exam. So IELTSLIS has been very helpful in providing the study material for it. It has offered practice tests, tips and previous question papers. What I really liked about the website is the theme. It is red and white colored and it is well organized. The website has been very much beneficial in every way. It has helped me increase my band score from 6.5 to around 7.5 every time I have practiced on it. I think I would be able to increase it by an even 0.5 band if I practiced it really hard.

    A website that I often visit is NASA's website. I visit it because I wish to know about the unveiling secrets of the universe, the new exploration of the exoplanets, the unwinding of the galaxies as there are billions in the universe and as a prospecting astrophysicist I should be very much updated on what missions are being going on right now, what missions are being planned for the future and what all have been done. Because only then I'll be able to get into that community of scientists, I'll be able to get my mindset in that work zone and will have that interest in the field. Now I'm discovering how often I visit it. I am quite very much interested in it so I prefer to visit it almost every day and that also leads me to doing a lot of discoveries like many competitions such as NASA Space Apps Hackathons, International Space Development Conference where I can present my research and my ideas on astronomy and astrophysics. I believe that's something that makes me most interested in visiting NASA's website and also there is a very good thing in NASA's website that it has a column for everyone like it has activities for K-12, STEM people in university or even the high schoolers. So that allows me to give my insights in a way.

    ABEbooks.com is a website I often visit, primarily because of the large collection of books that their website has. The filters allow you to look at different authors or their different publications, starting from the first year of a publication to the last. Furthermore, the website also allows you to track your orders, especially if they are coming from an overseas seller. ABEbooks.com is a website that's owned by Amazon, and it allows all users to a. create accounts on their website, b. interact with sellers and buyers around the globe, And along with all of these features, there's one important feature, there's one important aspect that I really like about it, is the idea that you can purchase first editions of any book on the website.
