Do you know any sites that can help me to improve my listening skill?
Focus. Take notes. Pay attention to key words such as "but" and "yet" (they indicate contrast), "and so" and "therefore" (they indicate explanations), repetition of words or phrases (they indicate importance), and others. After listening, try to make a quick summary of you what you just heard. And of course, practice.Unfortunately, "practice" is the answer to almost every "How do I get better at (x)?" question.Good luck! 👍

a: "your ava looks so cool/classy!"
b: "is it? thanks!"

I have an essay assignment about "money can't buy happiness" can you give me a general description about what you think ?
There are so many different ways to approach this topic. For example, you could write about rich people who committed suicide; people who won millions of dollars playing the lottery and ended up bankrupt, divorced, murdered, having family troubles, etc., and so on. You can easily Google those things. On the flip side, you could also write about rich people who became much happier after they quit their stressful jobs, gave away all of their wealth, etc. Again, this question has limitless possibilities. Good luck! 👍
What would be the answer if someone ask you "How have you been?" What does it mean?

If it happens often or generally speaking, "I get confused," e.g., I get confused whenever I listen to a long speech. I get confused easily, so please don't distract me.If it happened in the past, then use "I got confused," e.g., I got confused last week during science class. I got confused by my teacher's complicated lesson.Keep in mind that in standard written English, "get" phrases are considered informal. So instead of writing "I got fired," use "I was fired"; instead of "She got suspended," use "She was suspended." (And so on.)
