In cinema ligting industry, Spark got the following meaning :
What does a spark do? Sparks look after all the electrical equipment needed to make a TV show, in particular the lighting. They help plan the equipment and rig (meaning set it up). They also operate equipment, maintain it and de-rig (put everything away).

Where is Ms. Siَan?😢
writers re worried about IA lol, good vocabulary
Why did not we use are before slamming in the first headline,please give me an answer?
It's a really good question. Newspaper headlines often leave out words to make a greater impact - shorter words often get left out.
I saw them nearby school
First of all, I do not want to spread any negative thoughts over to you guys , however, I wonder why the press writes such words that we, non -natives do not get them as though I haven't learned English at all 🤦🤦. Thanks for the response
Nice to see you.
News headlines have a particular way of using vocabulary to be a) short and b) dramatic. A lot of words that you see in headlines aren't used very much in everyday life. That's why we do this show - and we hope it's helpful :-)
Gig economy spark reruns
