“Endurance is the ability to do something that’s hard.” My question is on details.🌷 Thank you.🌷
Why ‘that is’ used? Because, sentence already include a subject, ‘is’ which follows endurance. Is there an omitting after ‘something’ related to Adjective (Relative) Clause? Thank you🌷

"that is " can be omitted as it refers to "something". so the sentence will be "Endurance is the ability to do something hard." and it's all because of indefinite pronoun like "something, somewhere, somebody ". for example, We're going to go somewhere nice this summer (we're going to go somewhere that is nice ) . let's do something cool ( let's do something that is cool)
I think the use of "that's" in this sentence gives more emphasis to the indefinite pronoun something. It can be removed though and the sentence will still be grammatically correct but less emphatic.
In my opinion, the sentence looks more attractive without "that's". Isn't it so?

This sentence is grammatically correct. It's got a relative pronoun 'that'. Actually, 'that's' can be replaced by 'which is'. But, it's better to omit the relative pronoun: Endurance is the ability to do something hard.

Every student is different, and there's no universal method for encouraging them to book another English class. I see it as a personalized journey, similar to selling a car; it's essential to grasp each person's specific needs, likes, and aspirations. My approach centers on forming a real bond with the student. I evaluate their current skills and discover what inspires or challenges them. When they recognize the true benefits, they are more inclined to return. In the end, it’s all about creating an engaging and meaningful experience that keeps them motivated to come back for more:)

I prioritize an open-door policy, allowing my students to feel at ease when they want to discuss questions or concerns with me. I think this availability really helps to build trust and enhance our student-teacher relationship:)
