    Really good question! They both mean roughly the same thing - 'different and unusual'. The key to the difference is in usage rather than meaning; 'weird' is generally used in a negative way, whereas 'eccentric' is more neutral and even positive in some situations. This difference is called 'connotation'.

    Hi Kseniia, these are really good questions - abbreviations can be tricky in English but I'll do my best to answer you. You're correct that we do not normally add the 's to abbreviations, except when it the abbreviation ends in 's', for example CDS's - just because it looks better. The pronunciation of this plural abbreviation would be 'si-di-es-iz'. For abbreviations ending in a vowel, the 's' is pronounced as 'z' as in 'i-p-oz' (IPOs). I would avoid 'MOFs' altogether and just write the long form, because it is the word 'Ministry' that is plural in any case, hence 'Ministries of Finance'. Hope that helps!

    The problem is that in French, Spanish and Italian the translation of the English word 'dish' sounds like the English word 'plate' but in English the meaning is not the same. So a common mistake by learners of English is to say "Paella is a traditional plate from my country" but the correct word in this sentence is 'dish'.

    Hi Ivan, 'stands to' works grammatically and the meaning you want to express is clear, but as a native speaker I would choose something like 'threatens to harm' as it's stronger and more in line with the seriousness of the sentence. I'm also not sure about 'losing one million people' - it's not quite clear and sounds as if they could be lost in the woods! You could say this as 'losing one million people a year to (retirement, or whatever is causing the loss).

    Hello Marina, David below has done some corrections to your essay but there is another vitally important aspect of IELTS writing which is the organisation of your essay. This is a criteria for the assessment, so it is worth spending some time on. Here is my advice. The type of question above is an opinion essay, which means you need to start the essay with a clear statement of your opinion - do you believe this has improved the way people live, or not? Once you state your opinion you only need to provide a few arguments to support it and the body of your essay should be a new paragraph for each argument with explanation and examples. Your conclusion should then just summarise your arguments and re-state your opinion on the topic. It's also good to 'signpost' your essay, e.g. in your introduction "I believe the way we prepare food today has improved our lives for three main reasons which I will describe in this essay" and then each paragraph can begin with "Firstly", "Secondly", "Finally" to introduce each argument. Hope that helps - remember that language range and accuracy are only 1 criteria in IELTS; the way you clearly and logically present your writing to the reader is also an important criteria and you are assessed on this. Stephen.

    'Grind into action' means to 'start up', most often used with heavy machinery. This is an idiom and there are many more idioms using the verb 'grind' that you can find online. In JK Rowling's sentence above, it's a clever idiom to use because it fits with 'teeth chattering' in the first clause (you can grind teeth too), giving the whole sentence a nice continuity and picture.
