    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.

So I would often play YouTube videos on my free time or I want to do my homework. So there are so many learning videos available at the YouTube platform.

It was last month I got to know that there is an AI for this palm reading and like using our birth time they used to share our birth report and all. They used to predict our future. So this is what I heard from Instagram page. So I thought of visiting that website once and I was so amazed with that. I was so surprised to see that how artificial intelligence has developed. In that website there is an option to upload the images of both of your fingers, no both of your hands and they will predict how that will affect the different lines in your hand that is how it is depicting your future like that it is explaining like in which age you are getting married, how many children you will be having, how is your career going, everything it is explaining. Also if you provide your birth time and birth place they will also predict the future. When we are stuck in life we can have a try. Actually I tried for that I was confused in some of my life decisions and I got to try for this. Moreover this is an exact artificial intelligence website one should must try.

Goodreads is a website where you can log books, find books that you want to read, have read or are currently reading and also use it as a platform where you can connect with more people who may like the same books as you do. On this website, you can find several genres and different categories of books that you are currently interested in reading. I frequently visit this website because I love reading and I have explored a lot of different books and it's a great way for me to organise all of these books that I have read. I recommend this website for other people who like books as it can enrich your view on the different books and widen your variety of genres that you can read. It also recommends you newer books that you may or may not like and you can also log in reviews on how you felt about those books.

    So, in today's fast-paced world, people are mostly using many of the websites for the working purpose or for the entertainment purpose. But I am using mostly the YouTube. YouTube has always been the first preference for all the people because it is a website where we can watch videos and can learn studies and also for the entertainment purpose. So, when I was in class 12th, my teacher suggested me to watch the educational video for the studies so that it can help me improve my score in examinations. So, I started using YouTube from class 12th and then after that I came to know that it is a very user-friendly platform and mainly I watched educational content videos and in fact, many people and the YouTubers taught us the topics in detail and also it is a free platform so anyone can use this platform. So, now also I used YouTube for my IELTS preparation as it helped me with all of my four modules. I find reading very difficult but after watching some YouTubers' videos such as Asad YouTube, it became easy for me to solve the reading passage questions such as MCQs and other topics. YouTube is a very beneficial platform if we use in a very right way. So, mostly I am preferring YouTube.
