That’s what heals and truly makes a difference.

Hi Mohammad, great example and I completely agree! Here’s a quick tip. “Take a walk” is something you do for recreation; you don’t say “talk a walk” if you are going from one place to another. Here, I think you can say, “I walk to and from work every day. It’s a very healthy behavior and it makes a difference in my world.”

I totally agree! And this is a great use of “make a difference,” Omid. I have one tip for you:

Instead of, “…by using bicycle for our transportation…” you can say, “…we can make a difference in our community by taking bicycles instead of cars” or “…by using bicycles to get around.”

Hi Felipe, this is a great example. I would change it just a little bit. You can say: “Having a motivated and committed team makes a big difference in getting the results you expect.”

Hi Ulugbek! “…makes no difference…” is perfect here, great job. One quick note. A “traffic jam” is something that happens on a single day, it’s like a one-time thing. “I’m stuck in a terrible traffic jam.” But if you want to describe the general conditions, the predictable patterns, the fact that traffic is common every weekday, then you can say: “…makes no difference because of the heavy traffic.”
