Q:
What is the difference between The best thing about the offer is the price. and The good thing about the offer is the price. ?
A:
We should look at the relationship of good->better->best.
“The good thing about the offer” in conversation implies the offer is terrible and that is the only thing good about it. This is because you are using the worst way to describe the positive attributes of the offer, due to good->better->best.
“The best thing about the offer” implies there are several other good points to the offer, the best part is the price. This is because you chose the top descriptor of how good things are, due to good->better->best.
Depending on your tone and facial expressions/body language, “The best thing about the offer” delivered in a downcast or sullen tone, may also imply that the offer sucks, but at least the price is acceptable.

Weird is totally my thing. Does this sound natural?
A:
Since weird is an adjective, turning it into a noun isn’t unheard of, but it’s very slangy. Often those kinds of nouns will be put in quotes, as in “Weird” is totally my thing. It would probably be more common to hear Being weird is totally my thing. To be more specific and more slangy, I think you might hear an American say ”Weird is totally my jam.”

✅ Task 1
