external battery = power bank = power pack

external =/= internal

external = on the outside
internal = on the inside

affect v                     = hurt, or damage, to bother 🙂

impact v                  = to hit, to affect

E.g.

influence

My older brother had a huge influence on me. He used to love spicy food, but I hated it. In time, he convinced me to try it and now I eat spicy food twelve times a day.

affect

The crops were not affected by the heavy rain.

impact

Studying with native speakers has had a great impact (n) on my English.

The iPhone 7 is expected to impact (v) / affect Samsung’s sales in Asia.

Do you think people can do two things at the same time?

I have no idea of what to write, so I picked up this question from SE question collections as it troubles me for a long time. I’m not clear that other people how to think about it. but in my opinion, it’s not a easy stuff. Usually, I will start an another thing after I finish the first one even if they are demanded to be completed at the same time. Doing many things together will make me freak out and none of them will be done well. I don’t know whether it is my shortage. I found many people can do it. If you can as well, please give me some advices.

I have no idea what to write, so I picked up this question from SE question collections as it has been on my mind for a long time. I am not sure what other people think about it, but in my opinion, it’s not an easy issue. Usually, I will start a new thing after I finish the first one even if they need to be completed at the same time. Doing many things together will cause me to freak out and none of them will be done well. It could just be me, though, because I know many people can do it. If you can as well, please give me some advice.
