455. Speed Up Your Essay Editing

Editing essays can be a tedious task, but Google Translate has a hidden gem that can help!

Use the English to English function to have your text read out loud.

Hearing your words can make it easier to spot grammatical errors and awkward phrasing.

Plus, it’s a quicker way to polish your work without staring at the screen for hours.

456. Rethink Your Gift-Giving Strategy

When shopping for friends and family, avoid buying items related to their specific interests unless you really know what you're doing.

For example, a cheap bottle of whiskey won’t impress a whiskey connoisseur, and a basic moisturizer won’t thrill a beauty product enthusiast.

Instead, opt for something unique or personalized that shows you put thought into the gift.

This way, you avoid the risk of giving something they already have or won’t use.

457. The Ice Cream Storage Test

Ever bought a tub of ice cream only to find it’s icy and grainy?

Here’s a quick tip to avoid that disappointment.

Before you buy, press down on the top of the ice cream container. If it’s solid, it’s been properly stored and is good to go.

If it feels soft or can be pushed down easily, it’s likely been thawed and refrozen, which can affect its texture and taste.
