Hola Dani, en este caso en especial, es una COLLOCATION. Esto quiere decir que ciertos verbos van siempre seguidos de una determinada preposicion. Pueden ser verbos + preposicion o adjetivos + preposición. Estas collocations son arbitrarias, es uso. En Español es igual pero como es tu idioma nativo, no te das cuenta. Por ejemplo, decimos: "Estoy PREOCUPADA POR el exámen que voy a tener mañana" y no "Estoy PREOCUPADA DEL exámen que voy a tener mañana". Otras collocations comunes son: MANAGE TO, SUCCEED IN, PAY IN cash, PAY BY credit card, KEEON ON, OBJECT TO, CONGRATULATE somebody ON, OPPOSED TO, FOCUS ON, INVEST IN, SUFFER FROM, and many others. Speaking about prepositions, there are prepositions of time and prepositions of place. Prepositions of time: We use ON for exact dates and days of the week: My birthday is on September 2nd. I play hockey on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but we say AT THE WEEKEND (British Eng.) or ON THE WEEKEND (American Eng.) We use AT to talk about public holidays and weekends, but when we talk about a particular day or weekend, we use ON: "I will be going on holiday ON the first weekend of March" IN is used for longer periods of time: Months, years, seasons, etc: IN May, IN 2021, in winter, in the Middle Ages, etc. Moments of the day: IN the morning, IN the afternoon, IN the evening, but we say AT dawn, AT noon/midday/lunchtime, AT sunset, AT twilight, AT night, AT midnight. As you can see, it is no so easy to manage prepositions! If you need more help, please call me: 665723433

To write an essay, the first thing you should do is read the task very carefully to determine the type of essay you must write (opinion essay, persuasive or argumentative essay (advantages and disadvantages) or descriptive essay. Then, you should pay close attention to the topic you must write about so that you don't write off-track or beat around the bush. You must learn what a thesis (postulado) is and how to write and develop topic sentences. If we are dealing with an opinion essay (which is generally the case in Part 1 because you are asked to give your opinion), the task will say: Do you agree? or "Is it better to buy in large supermarkets or in local shops? The introduction should: 1) present the thesis (the topic we are going to write about). 2) hook the reader using some of the technics there are (rhetorical questions, for example) and 3) state your opinion (whether you are in favor or not). Main body: it should contain 3 paragraphs, one paragraph for each view point, and the 3rd. paragraph where you are supposed to include your own viewpoint. Each paragraph should start with a topic sentence and then you develop it with a reason or explanation, citing the experts' opinion on the topic, mentioning statistics, etc. Conclusion: The conclusion is the last paragraph. In the concluding sentence, you want to repeat the main point, and make it sound like the paragraph is ending. The concluding sentence is often similar to the topic sentence, but with different words. You can often use phrases like these to begin the concluding sentence: 1) state a personal opinion: In my view, As far as I am concerned, In my opinion 2) give the reader something to consider (Things would be different if... (very engaging) 3) summerise the article: As was previously stated..., In conclusion..., All in all..., On the whole..., etc Remember that essays are generally formal or neutral, so verbs of latin origin and passive voice are preferred. Of course, good use of linking words is essential!! If you feel like having private lessons, please contact me. I'll be more than glad to help you!!!

Hola Sergio, lo fundamental para disfrutar la lectura es leer sobre temas que nos gusten, por ejemplo, novelas distopicas o futuristas (The Giver, The city of Ember, short stories de Ray Bradbury o Edgar Allan Poe), novelas historicas (A Tale of two cities-Charles Dickens) Las short stories son muy buenas para empezar porque son cortas. Si quieres, por favor cuentame sobre que temas prefieres leer y yo te ayudo a elegir. Soy profesora de Literatura y de Inglés.
