Jasmine is a very paternalistic person. She always infantilizes her friends and never does things in other's best interests. Oliver is a friend of Jasmine, and he has a strong autonomy. He is the opposite of Jasmine. Oliver is kind and dresses very fancily. However, Jasmine has manky clothes. They have different personalities, but they are still friends because Jasmine believes it could be profitable to be Oliver's friend.

As a 23-year-old adult, he has the ability to decide and be responsible for what he had done. But his parents always infantilizes he and make him lose his autonomy. They want to protect him but only he knows what is in his best interest and what is good for him.

A DANCE A DAY KEEPS A DOCTOR AWAY ^^ - Boogie on down/ hit the dance floor/ strut your stuff/ throw shapes: DANCE - I love nothing more than..... - I can do it like nobody's business/ very well/ very quickly - At all cost: I have to do it at all cost - a release - sit on the fence: You cant sit on the fence any longer. You have to decide whose side you're on? - It promotes DIVERGENT (different) thinking, leading to happier and more creative brains. - Do you feel a twitch in your body when you hear your favorite rhythm?

Why does the word send ( have you ever been send....) have the meaning of receive in this context?

@ambedkarkorapati3870 Ай бұрын

I have been under the impression that "to make decisions' is correct and " to take decisions " may not be correct. In this video the BBC has used the phrase "to take decisions' which made me rethink the usage of the phrase.

Eastern parents and elders are more parental towards the youngers. Always looking out for them which sometimes come out as infantilizing them. Making them lose their autonomy,unintentionally.

Dont worry Muhammad, 40% is not bad, if you want to learn and improve, believe that you can do it and put the effort in. One day you’ll take 40% to somewhere near 100% more than anyone need. Don’t lose hope, work towards your goals. Hope you can commit to learning effectively.
