Prompt engineering - part 5

The hard stuff

By realising the importance of conciseness and clarity in my prompts, I redefined my original instructions to aim for better inputs from another angle. After submitting my redefined request to ChatGPT, its reaction was phenomenal. It crafted a meaningful syllabus and guided me through it lesson by lesson, ensuring the gradual increase of each class's subject and requirements. Even though I carefully crafted my test inputs ChatGPT had asked me to produce were up to standard, AI could always create better prompts regarding conciseness and clarity. Nevertheless, its responses and explanations helped me understand how to hone my English to ameliorate my inputs. My initial assessment of ChatGPT's capabilities was soon shattered after completing the syllabus AI had created for me. The gradual progress I witnessed during today's education suggests AI's power is still mesmerisingly unfathomable. I'm convinced that what I did today was far from scratching the surface of AI's capabilities, which is baffling. On the one hand, it is absolutely intriguing and exciting. On the other hand, I admire it with awe seasoned with a bit of fearful respect. Anyway, it's been a tremendous help so far, and I'm looking forward to delving into more complex topics with its guidance and support.

The final plan

I have a plan, so crazy that it might just work. I checked my books and tried to estimate how to proceed with my preparation, i.e which books should be the first and how to process the units, so the devised schedule is the following: Completing the 'Straight to advanced' and 'Ready for Advanced' books. They consist of 10 lessons and 5 review units each, so if I study intensively, I can finish these books in three-four weeks. Learning by heart the advanced phrasal verbs, idioms, and collocation books. (Plus the 'Don't get me wrong' pocketbook that contains brilliant idioms and collocations.) These books consist of 60 units each, so if I take three lessons per week, I can finish them by the end of August. Completing the 'Destination C1-C2' book. This is the toughest of all the previously listed books, including word formation, idioms, phrasal verbs, grammar, etc. I could go through this book while dealing with the 'Straight to advanced' book si...

53 is the new 35

Nah, I'm just kidding, 53 cannot be 35 in any way. When I first heard this term, fifty is the new forty, I thought something was wrong with my ears. Even the explanation of this locution seemed dodgy. I'm pretty sure that this is a kind of self-hypnosis technique used by those who are unable to accept their age and refuse to take notice of the natural order of things. (It's always weird to see the results of what the scalpel of cosmetic surgeons did to some poor, deluded individuals.) Anyway, I found the tail of the mojo and tried to get it back completely. I completed the homework Charlette had given me a month ago - it wasn't easy to complete, though - and booked some lessons as well. I'm looking forward to these classes. Nevertheless, my mind was struggling tremendously with the homework. My brain is still not as fresh as it used to be, so I won't be surprised if it turns out to be a balderdash. The weather turned freezing. Well, it's not as cold as it is...
