- a certain amount of
- I pick up a newspaper most days
- I usually have a book on the go
- I couldn't put it down
- opens the door to all aspects of education
These phrases made my answers sound very natural and "native-speaker-like". Try using them in your own sentences.

Hi Simon!
Can you give me the example for the "open the door for all aspects of education"? I'm quite confused with this phrase!
Thanks.
