So think about you're pulling something out from something else, okay? So these are some really common collocations, expressions that you might hear with this idea in mind.

Yeah, so the first one, draw conclusions, right? right? No, wait. No, the first one is right here. We'll come back to that one. We'll go back to it. I'll come back to it. That's okay. So let me give an example for draw conclusions. Before we draw any conclusions, let's take a look at the facts, right? Yes. Oh, so common in English, that phrase, right?
Yes, exactly. So, you know, we pull out any conclusions. Something has happened. Before we take anything from that, let's look at the facts.

Chapter 3: How does fluency relate to one's identity in English?
And what else can you draw from something?
draw inspiration from something. So basically pull out inspiration from something. So I drew inspiration from three of my favorite artists.
Would you say, Michelle, for your music, you draw inspiration from any particular singer?
I mean, I haven't been writing in a long time, but for singers that I like, that I'm inspired by, I mean, of course, Alanis Morissette. You know who I've been listening to now? Just in the car earlier, Rosé. I don't know. Do you know who that is? No. She sang Apatow with Bruno Mars. And I've just been listening to her solo stuff because I think she's from Blackpink. Okay. And it's very good.
So I was all excited about that. Yeah.
That's funny. Yeah. I mean, I know a lettuce more said for sure. Her song ironic is one that I've used in classrooms for ESL students to learn about irony. But I feel like when I try to teach that it's always hard. Like I get to the end and I'm like, do I even understand irony? I'm not sure.
I know it's irony. I think we've talked about it on the show. It's one of those things that it's I remember and I had to make examples of irony and it's like so it's it's one of those things where it's so hard to make an example. You only know irony when it hits you in the face. It's true. It's true. That's right.
Just like. Just like all those examples from the song. So guys, check out a lettuce more set and her song ironic, really fun song. Okay, another thing we can draw is draw strength, right? So this is during her period of unemployment, she drew strength from her spouse and her kids. Some people draw strength from religion or spirituality, right? Yeah, community, all sorts of things.
