    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, the most important website or the website that I visit the most is the EMBL website which stands for European Molecular Biology Laboratory. It's a scientific website and this is a research website and its research institute is situated in Heidelberg which is headquarters and it is situated in Germany and this website basically tells about the latest scientific research or the scientific advances which has been taken place and this also tells about the latest research that is going on in the different fields of biotechnology and life science or engineering which mainly focuses on the advancement and as well as the development of the different scientific tools which can be used for the treatment of various type of diseases such as Alzheimer's or cancer. Other than that, this website is also very effective about the PhD programs and all the postdoctoral programs which they provide plus they provide the self-paced learning which is the most beautiful thing about that website because self-paced training I would feel can be used by each and every individual if he or she wants to learn or want to excel in the field of biotechnology or life science so that he can pursue his dreams. Other than that, this website also gives some internship programs for two months or three months in the month of summer and in the month of winter and if a particular person who is interested in this field can apply so that he can learn more and more and he can be little bit ahead of the other students and try to learn some good skills in the field of biotech and life science.

I like to visit this website everyday and I also have an account on this. This website was recommended to me by my brother, by my older brother and he also has an account on this. In this website, I post a lot of videos and photographs of myself and can connect with other people. Moreover, I have many friends on this platform and we usually talk when we are free and share some reels to each other to get relaxed and release the stress from the mind as due to the hectic work schedule and behavior in today's generation. It is a very good website but if we use it in limited way, if someone use it full day and do not have control on the usage, so it will be addictive and it is harmful for that person and that's what I want.

    I usually use this website known by the name The Wire. It is used, it is a digitally curated online news content. So, if there is a particular controversy or any major breaking news, I tend to refer to the content that is released by The Wire because their quality is good, their narrative does not take a particular stance as in they are not a, they are not political in their viewpoint. They are not afraid of the political consequences that their report may have, which is why I rely on that source because it is honest, added with valid opinions and the content in The Wire is quite reliable. The fact that The Wire is completely neutral when it comes to political controversies is very, is proven by the fact that the politicians have taken it down.

    I use Instagram a lot. I visit Instagram almost 10 to 15 times every day. It's a website which allows people to share their pictures, share their videos or even they can share their thoughts like whatever they are thinking and people can respond to that. I like this website because it's an easy way to stay connected with the family and the friends and we can get daily updates about the lives of our loved ones and these days everyone is busy and it's hard to talk over phone or doing the text messages but whenever we are going anywhere we can share the pictures easily and that way we can keep our loved ones updated. The easiest way to use is Instagram has a mobile application too. We can use that and that way we do not need to every time go on the website. We can stay logged in by the mobile application and the most attractive thing I find is that we can even respond to whatever other people are sharing. We can do the comment, we can like the picture or video, we can let others know that whether we are liking it or we can even share the greetings like congratulations or like how they are doing and it made my life really easy and even these days I shop through the Instagram. There are many influencers who promote or sell the products through Instagram and it's a one place for everything.

    One website which I often like to visit is the website called Archive of Our Own or popularly known as AO3. The reason why I love this website is simple, it contains fiction, more elaborately it contains fiction written by fans of popular artworks. There are many shows and books and series and movies out of which there are famous characters which people like to take and create their own stories out of. It is very interesting to see the multiple takes a simple storyline can have with the same characters but with a different plot twist. It is a wonderful way of finding out different alternatives to the similar problem, of finding out different solutions and different outcomes and seeing the creative ways the fans like to use the characters and play out their stories. There are multiple categories in it like alternate universe where instead of being the same fictional world, they are in the school setting or a college setting. There are multiple genres like enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, school, AU and all of these books are so interesting to read as an author. After I see a show, I immediately go to that website to see if there are any other fictional works written by creative fans on it and I use it to enrich my own experience as a author, as someone who dreams to be an author in my future life. The reason why I adore this website is I also like to come across different fictions that I love to share with my friends and discuss them so that I can take ideas from them, discuss ideas and implement them in my books. I adore this fanfiction website quite a lot as it is also a non-profit organization which is funded and run completely by the fans without expecting any profits.

    There are a lot of apps and websites which I often use, but one particular website which I frequently use is Chachipiti, because basically I am a very curious person to learn a lot of things. So, randomly if I get to see something or something or the other, some object or if I read a book or get to know something from our colleague conversations or something like that, I immediately get on to the website, get to know about the topic briefly and have an idea about it, so that I don't fall short of knowledge and Chachipiti helps me keep updated about whatever I ask in whichever format I ask, which is one particular feature which I like about it and it's a user-friendly website which didn't harm me until today and it keeps engaging me to learn more and more and it's more like an interactive session and in a recent update of Chachipiti, I found out the listening feature of it, where I have an interactive session with the AI board, I ask details about, you know, whichever random effect, for example, IELTS preparation, even in IELTS preparation, it helped me a lot in terms of writing to re-correct myself, I would write on the topic and submit it to it, it would re-correct and it was basically, you know, automated pedagogy for me, so this is one particular feature which I like the most in the website.

    Just, I want to give a brief introduction of myself. I have just completed my Bachelors in Microbiology and I am planning to pursue Masters in Abroad. So for that, there is a requirement for appearing in ALS exam and securing a band of at least minimum 6.5. So I had started to take seriously this ALS exam and I searched quite a few platforms, online and offline both, where I could gain insight into the ALS preparation strategy and its process. So, offline was not feasible for me, so therefore I looked up online platforms where they teach you how to prepare for the ALS exam. So I came upon this Libscholar, so it's that one website which I am currently visiting so often. I love how they provide you with the instant evaluation of your test, of the mock tests you take and there are properly planned lessons and their mock tests and their evaluation and their feedback by an expert. And what I particularly like about it is, you can use the app according to your free time, like whenever you have that time, you can just access the website, you can just access the mock tests, you can just practice your, you can just hone your skills. So, this website, Libscholar, gives me such an immense support in my preparation for ALS and enriches my life.
