🌟 Apply, Subscribe, or Sign-Up? A Story to Aid You Remember2025.08.25

Joining World Wingstar and improving English proficiency were two of Aiko’s goals, and as an ESL student, she was eager to pursue them properly. However, she was stuck with three phrases repeating, “Apply, Sign Up, and Subscribe,” in her head.

📖 Anna’s Story

✨ Step 1: Apply Aiko saw an English “Apply now for an English membership and discount” notification. The promotion was so enticing that she clicked it and filled out the requested form.

🗨️ “To apply means to formally apply for a job, school, or program,” Aiko thought to herself.

✨ Step 2: Sign-Up Aiko-san previously joined an online English class. The page had a quote, “Join today, sign up.” Aiko-san proceeded to enter her name and email and create a password that was submitted.

🗨️ “To sign up is to register or create an account,” she thought, now a student.

✨ Step 3: Subscribe The final step was for her to go back to YouTube. She watched a channel that was in English and clicked the red Subscribe button. She was now able to be notified whenever new videos were added.

🗨️ “To subscribe means to agree to get something regularly, like videos, newsletters, or magazines.” Aiko smiled.

Apply → request something officially.
