Undertaking
Ok can someone please explain what undertaking is to me. I am seeing conflicting information and it's bugging me.
'The Highway Code (Rule 268) states that you should not overtake on the left or move to a lane on your left to overtake. However, it makes an exception for slow or congested traffic, where lanes move at similar speeds and the left lane happens to move faster.'
So if you're in lane 2 and you move into lane 1 to go past the slow car in your lane, that's undertaking.
What about staying in the left lane but going faster than middle lane (at 70mph and they are going slower than you)? Would that be undertaking? Because if so why? Surely we are meant to be doing the speed limit regardless of whichever lane you're in.

Improve English language and literature skills
English is my third language and I learned it when I was 8 when I came to the UK. In school I loved maths and was good at it, as well as science. They both came naturally to me. However, with English I had to strive hard just to get a B! It was not something that came naturally to me. Years later, as an adult, I believe I can't really understand the reasons and intentions behind what is written, especially when it comes to reading in between the lines. I really want to improve these skills so I can understand different types of texts. I also want to start reading books and be able to understand themes, characters, etc. because I remember in school we had to do that and I used to get so confused lol.
I hope what I want to convey is being understand. If you could explain to me to me as a beginner starting on this journey I would highly appreciate it. Thank you!

Right of way
Recently passed driving. Had a situation earlier today that's got me confused.
So, I was going to enter minor to major road (Oakfield road to A441). I was going to turn left and the road has two lanes for going in that direction. I looked both ways of A441 and it was clear. So I started driving. Then I saw a driver from road across me (Sir John's road) also moving in to go same direction as me. She stopped the car mid way as we both were close to each but not too much. She was saying something. I couldn't hear her so I was gesturing and telling her to go, go, go. Because stopping in the middle of the road was not safe.
Like I said there were 2 lanes to join and I didn't really see her until I started moving in. Clearly she thought I was in the wrong. I just think it was one of those blunders. It wouldn't have caused a collision if she'd had carried on driving as we realised and I would have slowed down or she should have.
Regardless, I just wanted to know who would have a right of way here and was it something to be worked up about?

Help! Can't clean
Why does it feel like I'm fighting my soul to clean? Why does it make me want to cry after like a few minutes of trying? Why do I have to take constant breaks as it becomes overwhelming and difficult for me to sustain my effort?
It makes me so sad. I don't like being dirty, unclean and messy. But, things have been piling up for months and months and I just cannot seem to do anything about it. I tell myself daily I should clean, I will clean. But I don't seem to have the willpower to do so despite having a strong intention.
Is anyone averse to the act of cleaning up just like me? This is so so hard for me 😭
