    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.

The feature it has, it was like it is offering a number of courses for IELTS preparation. Along with that, it also accompanies in various competitive exams like SSC, SSSC, UPSC. And I think it is very much affordable too as the prices of the course was very cheap. And it is very good for the persons who are living too away from the big towns or cities and are unable to stay in the cities for their studies. Along with that, it is very comfortable as one can learn from the comfort of their home. I found this app very useful as I am preparing for IELTS and I have to give my exam within 2 or 3 months. It helped me a lot and it was having various speaking, reading and speech modules which helped me to improve myself. Initially, I was having 6 or 7 bands but with the help of this application, I was able to get 8 plus bands and I think it is very much good improvement for me.

    In the era of internet, today a lot of people often use many websites in their day to day life. For example, Instagram, YouTube and many more others. But today I am here describing a website that is very useful to me and I frequently use that website. I am talking about ChatGBT. ChatGBT is an AI-based program that helps me to find my queries. For example, if I am stuck in a question, I simply put that on ChatGBT and ChatGBT simply provides me with true information and acquires true knowledge. So, one of my friend named Akhil Kaushal suggested me that website. I still remember we were studying in the third year of our college and he suggested me that website to do accountancy project. I am not that good in that project. So, I take help of ChatGBT. ChatGBT gives me true information and I did my project in two days. So, I simply rely on that website and after that when I was stuck in any question, I simply put that question on ChatGBT and ChatGBT gives me the true answer. I frequently use that website because nowadays there are lot of questions that are not answered by Google because many questions are hypothetical. So, Google cannot provide the information as fast as ChatGBT. We all know that in the era of AI, ChatGBT plays a very important role and a very good role.

    The website I visit often, as I visit very frequently is Instagram. The features in Instagram is very wide. It has many features like we can text your close friends or you can text other people. You can see this which has wide range of content which includes news, trends, clothes, shopping and other things and you also have an experience of sharing which is the best feature in my perspective because I am an introvert, I don't speak to people, I don't share often about my memories and what is going through my life. With this feature, I could show them these are the things going on in my life recently and I have been experiencing this and I can pretty much show them what is going on and it benefits me in many different ways because my father is in Paris and we do have a transfer of five years once so I couldn't maintain friends in real life because calling them and texting them would be a longer way to keep friends because two to five years I should be moving so it makes me remember people and make me in touch with people which is long back from my pre-KG friends or grade one friends. It makes me build network too through like I am a social worker so that different organizations and the CEO of an organization connecting to them.

    I would like to talk about the website Wikipedia which I visit almost every day. Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia created and edited by volunteers worldwide. It is operated by the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation and provides articles spanning a vast range of topics such as history, science, culture and more. I use Wikipedia daily especially when studying or curious about something. Whenever I read news or a science article and encounter unfamiliar terms or concepts, I immediately took them up. I primarily use it to check definitions and history of concepts for my university assignments, understand cultural contexts like the origins of festivals or classical art forms, explore scientific ideas such as astronomy or biologic theories. It is also handy for quick facts like lunch dates, event details or bios of notable figures. There are several reasons why I like it. Such as it is free and has no ads, it is completely free to use and doesn't show annoying advertisements thanks to its non-commercial model. With versions in over 300 languages and more than 62 million articles, it caters to people from diverse backgrounds. Entries are regularly updated and fact-checked by volunteers. The site even shows what sources are used and when updates were made. While I know anything can edit Wikipedia, its robust fact-checking and community moderation keep the informal reliable. Using it helps me sharpen my research skills, improve my understanding and stay informed. Every time I read a Wikipedia page, I not only learn something new about it but also gain exposure to its linked references which help to deepen my knowledge. To sum up, Wikipedia is an essential daily tool for me. Its depth, reliability, accessibility and educational value makes it one of the most useful and trustworthy websites I frequently use.
