Subject-Verb Agreement
source: mmmEnglish 2017年10月16日
SUBJECT-VERB AGREEMENT is one of the most common mistakes that English learners make! It's so easy to forget that the verb form in English sentences changes, depending on the subject!
- I AM hungry...
- She IS thirsty...
- They ARE fighting...
- We HAVE been travelling
- It HAS been so long.
- She DOESN'T know...
- You DON'T know...
- They LIKE to travel.
- She LIKES to travel.
I will also explain how these rules work in more complicated sentences. For example: sentences where the subject is a noun phrase, or where the subject and the verb are separated by a relative clause.

ESPECIALLY vs SPECIALLY
source: Crown Academy of English 2017年10月31日
"especially" and "specially" are both adverbs.
We use "especially" to describe one person, thing, or situation that is above all the others.
The meaning is similar to "in particular"
Example: I like all of my friends, especially Mark.
"specially" on the other hand describes the specific (particular) purpose of something.
Example: The bag was specially designed for my computer.

A university is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which grants academic degrees in various academic disciplines. Universities typically provide undergraduate education and postgraduate education.
The word "university" is derived from the Latin universitas magistrorum et scholarium, which roughly means "community of teachers and scholars." Universities were created in Italy and evolved from Cathedral schools for the clergy during the High Middle Ages... (Wiki)
