A: 'She has been vomiting all week and can't move. She's not feeling well to say the least.' (She's very very ill, but the person is kinda making a smallish joke about how she's only feeling unwell -like she only has a cold)

'I'm furious to say the least.' (Furious is just the first part of the emotions the person is feeling. The person is probably even angrier, but there is not a word that is angrier than 'furious')

Thoughtfulness is like consideration

Thought- FULL = full of thought towards someone.

Considering someone = taking that other person into account

******
We use thoughtfulness usually with more intimate relationships and family and romance.

Consideration is used with more formal business and professional relationships.

They can be interchanged though.

******
You can hear the SOUND of the word thoughtfulness has a SOFT sound with the FULL.
Consideration is more hard sounding - KON sider ation

The sounds tell you something about where the words belong.
Soft sounds = go with love
Hard sounds = go with business interactions and formality

Paying attention to the SOUND of the words in English helps you compose words
with greater subtlety and emotion and color. This creates the poetry in our language
and a whole other level of meaning and communication.

This is the MUSIC in our language.

A: This is an example of IELTS question
1. The countryside is a better place for children to grow compared to a city. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
A. It is difficult to know which place is better for children to grow, because both have their pros and cons and the child’s personality or something else are always different. But in my case, I grew on the boundary between a county and a city so I can say for me, it was better to grow in the countryside. For a person like me who is an introvert and who easily gets tired of hanging out with friends, to live in a city, would mean staying home and playing lots of pc games. Also, I would watch TV or something. All in all, I would become an inactive and passive person. But I grew in the countryside(mainly), so at least, I’m not inactive and passive. The reason that living there made me active and independent is that there you get a lot of time to think or explore. Although I have to admit, living there is boring(at least, I felt so) and when I got bored for a long time I thought and imagined about a lot of things. Things I did a lot turned out to be my future and my personality. So, for the time I lived in the countryside, I found my passion for studying science and some hobbies and I have chosen what I have done by myself. But for a child who is extrovert and likes exercise, the child doesn’t need time to think alone. Therefore, I agree with either of the two lifestyles.
