    Frankly,I don't think that all stress needs to be reduced in a timely manner. Stress is not your enemy. It is an appropriate feeling that benefits you, allowing you to concentrate on your next speech or exam. But, if I am stressed, I usually imagine that all things will be better as long as I try my best.I also communicate with my friends to reduce stress.

    They are very similar, though in some contexts, "response" can be a reply or confirmation, not necessarily an answer. For example, if I tell you I am feeling sad and you tell me not to be so sensitive, I might say "I don't like your response". It is not an answer because there was no question, but it was a response, reply, or reaction, to my statement. In religious contexts as well, when reading a prayer in church, the people will have a "response", not an answer. Those praying are not answering the prayer, but are confirming it. If I ask a question, and ask for your ideas or input, "response" and "answer" are the same.

    Everyone is having problems. Nobody in this world lives without any problems. We have to keep that in mind. Nothing is permanent in this world. I'm not sure what you mean to say with "so leave it"

    All three are correct and are used often! "If my memory serves me correctly..." might be the least commonly used in comlnversation, but it is still used somewhat and is familiar.

    Hi Jason, You do not need to put "the" in front of the name a specific university, for example, Harvard. Even though University of Texas is the specific name, in some cases such as this where the name contains "of", people may put "the" in front of it, but it isn't necessary. For example, the city where I studied had two universities: Wilfred Laurier University and the University of Waterloo.

    I don't know if this would count as "personality", but there was a study done on languages with gendered nouns and how its speakers describe objects. The example I read was asking French speakers to describe a bridge. "Bridge" being feminine in French, was often described using adjectives such as "beautiful". In German it is a masculine noun and German speakers were more likely to describe the same bridge using adjectives like "strong". This link has some more information: https://www.google.com/amp/s/digest.bps.org.uk/2020/03/11/gender-prejudice-is-more-common-in-languages-with-grammatical-genders/amp/

    "Wanna" technically isn't a real word, but when speaking it's what "want to" sounds like. Same for "gonna" (going to) or "shoulda" (should have)

    To piggy back on the previous comment, "whom" isn't used very often anymore. Unless you are writing very proper, academic papers, you can get away with saying "who".

    2) Why didn't he show any land documents as proof of his claim that there was a temple there before? 3) That political party is nothing but the incarnation of the Nazi party 4) "His last resort is to paint the news media as hypocritical because it isn't in line with his ideology" This suggests that news media in general is being hypocritical. If you say "His last resort is to paint a news outlet..." suggests it is one specific channel/paper/station that he is after. Also, "hypocrite" is the noun form, "hypocritical" the adjective :)

    1) "I'm stuck on a question and I don't get it" or "I'm stuck on a question and am not getting anything from it". The first one suggests you are confused, the second one suggests that you are confused but also that you are not benefitting at all from the hard work
