The short overview of the video for you in the future 👀   ✅Tip #1. Make your language softer. If you're too direct, it sounds rude.

Normal: "The results of global warming HAVE NEVER BEEN more apparent". In this example, the emphasis is on "never". - Inversion: "ONLY by studying extremely hard CAN students achieve excellent grades".

THEN it's filtered". Better: "The filtered rainwater is THEN collected." - "Excessive use of fossil fuels contributes to global warming. HOWEVER, there may be other reasons for climate change". Better: "There may, HOWEVER, be other reasons for climate change"  ✅Tip #4. Avoid using very
