Which preposition is more common? I saw both “on” and “in” for the “home stretch”.

1. Which one is correct? 2. Is “to” needed before “above”? Thanks.
1. “This course can boost my GAP TO above 3.” 2. “This course can bump up my GAP above 3.” 3.”This course can bump my GAP up above 3. 4. “This course can improve my GAP above 3.” 5. “This course can bring up my GAP above 3.” 6. “This course can raise my GAP above 3.”

confused about lines in Finding Nemo
1, It's basically in the beginning of the movie, just after Nemo's mother's death, poor mother. I racked my brain, checked different online dictionaries and even asked several AIs but still have no clue about what they're talking about. A fish can breathe out here. Did your man **deliver**, or did he deliver?  — My man **delivered**.  — It wasn't so easy. 2, It's clear that Dory has a bad memory. Marlin, Nemo's dad, got a bit inpatient with Dory. It seems to have nothing to do with conscience. Is this a joke? Dory: Are... are you my **conscience**? Marlin: Yeah. I'm your **conscience**. We haven't spoken for a while. How are you? https://preview.redd.it/cut2xijepbce1.png?width=2026&format=png&auto=webp&s=6f76ab3fc4467dd8563d837d77921910f29c8322 Really thank you.
Could you check my grammar?
I've been Philippines in early 20s through Compassion, a NGO. They sponsor the poor children who lack access to nutritious meal and education. In Philippines, it's common for men to abandon their wives and children to avoid from responsibility. During my visit, I met a family supported by Compassion. I was going to pray out loud for them, asking their father hope keeping his family. One of companion told me that could be rude for them, so I could avoid from that mistake.
Do these all sound natural?
1. “Draw a straight line at 60 degrees upwards (downwards) from this point.” 2. “Draw a straight line upwards(downwards) at 60 degrees from this point.” 3”Draw a straight line up(down) at 60 degrees from this point.” 4 “Draw a straight line at 60 degrees up(down) from this point.”
What's the difference between: convivial, congenial, genial, cordial, amiable, affable, sociable?
Doesn't matter how much I try I can't figure it out why some prefer use one over another and what each of them connote. By definitions and examples in dictionaries, they are all similar.
What is different?
Should I send the gift to her Shall I send the gift to her Is the second use more popular in Britain, or does it sound polite?
Guess My Accent!
Sorry for the short recording. Thanks.
Can Highlighted Audio Stories Improve My English?
I’ve been using a free app that highlights English sentences while reading them out loud. The app reads stories with audio and highlights the word it’s currently reading. This makes it super easy to follow along, and I feel like it’s helping me understand spoken English better. At least, that’s what I think. The problem is, when someone speaks English to me, it still feels way too fast, and I struggle to keep up. Do you think using an app like this can actually help me understand real conversations? Or is it just making me lazy by relying too much on the visuals? What’s your opinion?
