I'm kinda confused is it "well-off" (with hypen) or "well off" (without hypen), when describing someone 'rich'?
In American English, it's "well-off." In British English, it's "well off," unless it's used as an adjective, e.g., He is well off. He comes from a well-off family.

what is the different between written test and writing test?
A written test is a test that is in print form. It can be a sheet of paper, a booklet, etc. A writing test wants to assess your writing ability. Therefore, you are going to be required to write an essay. It is different from a listening test, a speaking test, a translating test, etc.

Can you explain me about "I couldn't help overhearing." phrase?
It's a polite way of telling someone (who is not talking to you) that you heard them say something.
For example, let's say that you heard someone on the bus say something about their car. You could say to that person, "I couldn't help overhearing that your car broke down. My brother is a really good mechanic."

Differentiate effect and affect.

What's the different between "in my mind" and "on my mind"? Thank you.
We use "on my mind" when we're thinking about something or someone:
- You are always on my mind. = I am always thinking about you.
- If I look stressed, it's because I have a lot on my mind. = If I look stressed, it's because I'm thinking about a lot of things.
Many people think "in my mind" is either wrong or unnatural. Instead of "in my mind," we have the expression "have in mind," which means "to have a plan or intention," e.g., "Did you have anything in mind for your essay topic?"
- You are always on my mind. = I am always thinking about you.
- If I look stressed, it's because I have a lot on my mind. = If I look stressed, it's because I'm thinking about a lot of things.

Is there any difference between goodnight and good night?
When you're telling someone to sleep well, it can be either "good night" or "goodnight," e.g., I told Nan, "Goodnight, sweet dreams."
When you're describing a night that was pleasant, nice, successful, etc., it's "good night," e.g., Peter's brother had a good night at the casino last week. 🎰💰
