So I was taking a mock exam for the Cambridge certificate and we were doing an exercise where there was an initial phrase and you had to rephrase it with the given word. The phrase was "For me, a mobile phone is a necessity" and the word was "do". I wrote "I can't do without a mobile phone" and my teacher marked it wrong and wrote "I could do with a mobile phone". My answer may have been wrong but I don't think "is a necessity" and "I could do with" are equivalent.

Could someone clarify this for me? Any help is greatly appreciated (:

So I'm new to this whole thing and I'm trying to find how to calculate an arithmetic sum with an odd number of terms. From what I know if the number of terms are even you can do [(a_{1} + a_{n})*n]/2 with n being the number of terms. If the number of terms are odd can we do {[(a_{1} + a_{n})*(n-1)]/2}+a_{b}}, b = [(n-1)/2]+1?

Sorry if the notation is a mess, I'm on mobile

So I didn't really know how to tag this one, I'm working on a novel and there is a scene set in a baptist church in rural Georgia. Basically I need a reason for all the townspeople to be in a church at midnight (not Easter or a special holiday), and to have to drink the communion. For the first one I thought a night vigil might work, like maybe there has been a tragedy and all the people have gathered in the church to pray. I don't even know if that's realistic, but I can't come up with a reason for them to need to have the communion.

I hope this isn't offensive, any help is greatly appreciated!

PS: I'm not from the US and English isn't my first language so sorry for any mistakes in advance (:

So I am transferring schools and while on my current one I've been taking German classes, the new one only has french. I don't like German as it is but I've got enough experience to get by in class without tutoring, but french is practically starting from scratch. Second languages are compulsory so in order to get a passing grade I'll need to attend after school classes (and pay for them). I was planning to take up Spanish but now I cannot because I need to focus on French, how do y'all do this? Will French just grow on me? I have zero motivation to do any studying whatsoever :(

EDIT: there are many people telling me to "just get on with it because it's just a class" but the problem is that I'm expected to already have at least a B1 level in french, even though I've been doing German for the past 4 years. That's why I need the tutoring

I'm learning hangul and I just got to the consonants part and while I can tell apart the aspirated one from the other two but I CANNOT 😭 distinguish between the lax and the tense one. How do you all do this? I can't even get past the listening exercises in the app I'm using.

It's my first time doing digital art and it looks flat and shaky, how can I improve this?
