A quick note and apology. There is a typo in the video. I wrote 'upmost' and, as some of you have pointed out, it should be 'utmost'. When speaking fast, they can have the same pronunciation. In fact, both spellings (both words) exist, but with a slightly different meaning. In this expression, it should be 'I do my utmost'. Thanks to those who commented and pointed this out. 👍

My life problems are exacerbated, and I can't mitigate them, my barriers are unsurmountable, and I am going to take IELTS exams that is an uphill struggle for me at this moment and I am apprehensive about it, recently I became jobless and I feel really disgruntled, however I am bewildered but I will do my upmost, because i am not inept at it. And your videos are impeccable thank you in advance!
