💌 Last week's valuable comments
[I liked it 👍] The study method for intermediate students shared on the Ringle blog is really useful. Especially the analysis of CAF results is very helpful. I am also satisfied with Read with Me: Books Program, so I am thinking of challenging myself to read more English newspapers.
[Material Review 📖] Through the material The False Dichotomy, I was able to think about black-and-white logic and practice logical speaking and writing.
