It also offers insight into entrepreneurship and the impact of technology on society. The series "Bill Nye Saves the World is both informative and entertaining. "Stuff you should know" is a podcast that covers a wide range of topics that are interesting and informative. This mixture of inspiration, knowledge and entertainment is perfect for students to balance learning with enjoyment.

Hello David, improving your vocabulary in English is a gradual process that requires consistent effort and practice. There are some activities that you can do such as read regularly (just topics that interest you to keep yourself engaged), read the sentences or passages when you words are used, and try to infer their meanings from the context, learn a new word everyday (use it in sentences to reinforce your understanding and retention), create flashcards, play word games (scrabble, crossword puzzles, our online for vocabulary games) and watch movies and TV shows, listen to podcasts or or audiobooks in English. Hope it helps ☺️ :)
