I'm a second-time admission candidate, and this time I want to apply for the Arts (B) Unit alongside Science. However, I'm not sure how to start preparing for the B Unit or how to keep track of my progress.

Whenever I begin studying for the Arts Unit, I keep wondering whether I actually understand the topics or if I'm just reading them passively. For example, with English, I feel like I'm only going through the chapters, but I have no way of measuring my proficiency. I don't know if I've truly mastered a topic or if I just recognize the information because I've read it.

How can I study for the B Unit in a way that helps me track my progress and confidently assess whether I've actually learned each topic?

My 12y/o sister is pretty good at English for her age, and I want to encourage her to start reading English books to improve even more. Can you suggest some books that use easy English and are fun for kids her age?

Which phone under 30k would be the better in terms of camera quality and overall features?

To all the people out there, what really helped you become fluent in English?

Given the current economy, it's becoming increasingly difficult to live without a stable source of income. I'm interested in starting a small business but have a very limited budget for investment. Could you suggest some business ideas?

I'm particularly interested in handicraft-related businesses since I'm quite good at making handmade items. However, I'd also appreciate suggestions for other low-investment businesses that don't require significant prior experience.

Also, if I decide to start a stationery business, what would be the minimum investment required to get started? Which products are usually the most attractive to customers and tend to sell well? Additionally, where can I source these products at wholesale prices?

Women out there, how do I stop myself from feeling consumed by the discriminatory treatment my three sisters and I receive from our grandparents?

My family is well-educated, yet these attitudes still persist. My father doesn't openly display this behavior as much, but he's deeply devoted to his parents, especially his mother, and I think their views have influenced him to some extent. He often shows extra care and concern for his brother's son because he's the only male grandchild in the family and is considered the "bongser bati" (the one who carries on the family line).

What frustrates me is that my sisters and I have worked incredibly hard. We've all been admitted to reputable universities, and one of my sisters even earns her own income. Meanwhile, that cousin has multiple criminal records, little sense of responsibility, and poor educational achievements. Yet he's still valued more simply because he's a boy.

What hurts even more is that we're expected to carry his responsibilities and support him in the future, seemingly because my father has three daughters and no sons.

I'm exhausted from arguing about this. These discussions never seem to change anything. The only thing I'm trying to do now is control my emotions and stop letting it affect me so deeply, but I can't seem to get rid of the anger and resentment I feel inside.

How do you cope with this kind of situation without being consumed by rage?

We went through a severe financial crisis, and at that time my father entered a business deal with someone who agreed to cover our expenses for a few months while my father brought in orders in the garments sector. My father contributed the business strategy and experience, while the partner invested the money and would later receive his investment back with profit.

However, the partner turned out to be dishonest. He constantly delays payments, gives far less money than promised unless we repeatedly ask for it, and often lies about important business matters. Once, he falsely claimed that he had completed the LC for an order, but later we found out he had never done it, which caused major complications and eventually led to the loss of another order.

Now my father has received another business offer with a proper contract, and we are encouraging him to take it because continuing with the current partner is becoming impossible. Considering everything, would leaving this partnership still be considered betrayal, even though he helped us during our lowest point?

I’ve tried several times to learn guitar on my own by watching online videos, but I always end up losing motivation. One of the biggest reasons is that my guitar is quite old, and the strings are in poor condition, so I constantly feel like the instrument itself isn’t good enough to learn properly. Because of that, I get discouraged very quickly and struggle to stay consistent.

I really want to start learning again, but this time in a way that feels enjoyable and sustainable. How should I begin learning guitar on my own without getting overwhelmed or giving up? Also, could you recommend some beginner-friendly ideas, practice methods, and good online resources or channels that could help me stay motivated?
