Learn the English expression, "Expression: Make a difference"
What does it mean to "make a difference?"
This English expression has two meanings: Number one, to have a positive impact on the world. Or number 2, to have a noticeable effect.
If someone volunteers at a food bank, you can say, "Her work really makes a difference." She's doing something good. She's having a positive impact on the world.
Now imagine you change up your breakfast. Instead of having a muffin, you have a green smoothie. Now, you have more energy. Your new breakfast made a difference because it had a noticeable effect.
