    Hi Baron They are essentially the same. In my opinion I would use cure if it was to signify a COMPLETE recovery from illness. I would use heal to describe the act of helping with recovery. If I had an illness and then got better....I ( personally ) would say..I AM CURED...not healed If I was in the process of getting over an injury, illness or upset...I ( personally ) would say I AM HEALING...not curing. I hope this helps Del

    Susan and Sudeep have really explained the main differences...Its about adding context and using emphasis.

    However, model is a verb as well as a noun.  Role model is effectively just a noun.

    So you could change the structure of your sentence to say...I MODEL myself on her because I believe in her value of perseverance.

    You couldn't say I ROLE MODEL myself on her

    I'm not sure if this helps the debate but I though it my help to clarify the difference

    Cádiz (Spain), my city.

    I live in Cádiz, a small and beautiful city in the south of Spain.
    Cádiz is a wonderful city for several reasons.
    Firstly, it´s the oldest city in Europe because it was ocuped for The  occupied by the Phoenicians three thousands years ago and later for The by the Roman Imperium Empire, so it´s a an old city where you can see a lot of things about those imperiums the Romans like the circus or some militar military buildings. There are castles, a fantastic cathredal cathedral (half of the wal by barroco wall in Baroque style and the other half in Neoclassic style) and all of them are surrounded by the sea.
    Secondly, people are open-minded and very nice. They are always very happy because the most important thing is enjoying of the life.life. It´s a way of thinking very special because They have a special way of thinking, they prefer to smile before tan to rather than be worried about cotidian everyday problems. Sometimes, for foreign people is dificult to understand it it is difficult to understand because, for instance, there is a high unemployment,there is high unemployment, one of the biggest problems in the city.
    In spite of that, Despite this, Cádiz is a city with much light. We enjoy many hours of sun all year and that is an important factor. to be happy because that does people go out to the Street much more hours and so they can have best relationship with other people. The sun makes people feel happy, they then spend more time outside in the streets socialising and making friends
    Therefore, it´s a strategic city because it´s in the Ocean Atlantic, Atlantic ocean with a port and one airport very near ( In Jerez), where you have direct flights like London, Frankfurt, Madrid and Barcelona. Furthermore, the public transports are transport is improving more and more. In fact, next summer we will have a tran. tram. We also have train, underground ( it was the first underground in Andalusian), public buses, boards and the second largest bridge in the world.

    That is my city. I recommend it to you! Regards!

    Why I need to learn English?

    Actually, it's the most popular question I hear every day and I still don't have a good answer. I mean, I can say, you know, something like, "I need it for my future" or "I really want to study in the USA". Sometimes I think I just waste my time. Oh, no. It's not true. Do you wanna know the truth? I am just so lazy for this. I wasted one half of a summer on serials. But I need to learn English for the exam. I just need to do. JUST DO IT, GIRL.
    P.S. I am so sorry for this weird letter. I mean it's not an essay or something like that, it's just a letter to myself, to be lazy, and I'm sure I have made a lot of mistakes. If somebody wants to know why I wrote it, I just want to say: That's the frailty of genius, it needs an audience. (LOL (Sherlock)).
    Thanks so much!

    My vacations!

    Hi Everyone!
    I had an amazing vacation in the United States.
    The first city I visited was New York and I really enjoyed many things in this place. People were very friendly and helpful. In NY buildings, parks and Times Square were amazing. I visited the Empire State, Chinatown, K-town, the Statue of liberty, Ellis island, the Museum of Natural History, the 9-11 memorial (very emotive) and other places. Afterwards, I took a bus (Megabus :D ) to Washington D.C and I loved this City. I loved the Smithsonian! Museum, memorials, parks, and food (Ben's chilli bowl haha) are sooo great!

    I went to the Holocaust Museum and I felt really emotional and sad :( but it is an important museum and we should never forget this horror. Also, I went to the National air and space mueseum, memorials of Lincoln, World War Two memorial, The Korean War Veterans memorial, The Washington Monument and other... Besides all this, I rode bikes (around DC) , the first time in 10 years haha!

    Other good things happened in NY and DC.

    Thanks for reading, corrections and your help!
    Regards!
