Swam Htet, Dominique is exactly right. As a long-time teacher and now tutor, I have taught Grammar because it helps you communicate. At the same time, I remind students that intent and message are also important. I am sure the Preply tutors have a variety of views. Feel free to ask questions of any of us by using the Contact Tutor link. You might want to register for a (free to you) trial to see what Preply might have to offer you. Best wishes, Paul L.

I would imagine the word they are looking for is "database".

A database provides an easy way to enter or display record.

Practice speaking on a regular basis. Find a speaking partner to practice with. Hire a tutor to coach you and practice with. Do regular pronunciation sessions. Built up your vocabulary to improve fluency. The trick is to be persistent and regular. daily if possible. Best Regards

Hi Candace

Does the size of a person’s palm cause / determine the person’s life expectancy? – NOT CAUSATION Does the person’s life expectancy cause / determine the size of a person’s palm? – NOT CAUSATION

Can a correlation exist between the size of a person’s palm and the person’s life expectancy? – POSSIBLE CORRELATION

REASONING What is the definition of causation versus correlation? Correlation implies association, but not causation. Conversely, causation implies association, but not correlation. The Australian Bureau of Statistics provides the definition of correlation: “A statistical measure (expressed as a number) that describes the size and direction of a relationship between two or more variables.” Correlation does not necessarily mean that there is an actual relationship between these two variables.

What is causation? Also known as ‘causality’, the Australian Bureau of Statistics goes on to define causation the following way: “Causation indicates that one event is the result of the occurrence of the other event; i.e., there is a causal relationship between the two events. This is also referred to as cause and effect.” Causation is implying that A and B have a cause-and-effect relationship with one another. You’re saying A causes B. Causation is also known as causality. • Firstly, causation means that two events appear at the same time or one after the other. • And secondly, it means these two variables not only appear together, the existence of one causes the other to manifest.

In statistics, the phrase "correlation does not imply causation" refers to the inability to legitimately deduce a cause-and-effect relationship between two variables solely on the basis of an observed association or correlation between them

For any two correlated events, A and B, their possible relationships include: • A causes B (direct causation); • B causes A (reverse causation); • A and B are both caused by C • A causes B and B causes A (bidirectional or cyclic causation); • There is no connection between A and B; the correlation is a COINCIDENCE. Thus there can be no conclusion made regarding the existence or the direction of a cause-and-effect relationship only from the fact that A and B are correlated. Determining whether there is an actual cause-and-effect relationship requires further investigation, even when the relationship between A and B is statistically significant, a large effect size is observed, or a large part of the variance is explained.

When two things are correlated it doesn’t mean that one causes the other. Two unrelated things can be either bound by causality or correlation. In majority of the cases correlation is due to coincidence. Just because it seems like one factor is influencing the other, doesn’t mean that it actually does. The less the information we have the more we are forced to observe correlations. Consider underlying factors bringing two things together before reaching a conclusion as correlation may just be the first step You may begin to see cause-and-effect relationships where there is only correlation. Try to find a reason why A and B occur at the same time. If A and B tend to be observed at the same time, you’re pointing out a correlation between A and B. You’re not implying A causes B or vice versa. You’re simply saying when A is observed, B is observed. They move together or show up at the same time. Positive correlation is when you observe A increasing and B increases as well. Or if A decreases, B correspondingly decreases.
