Hello Monica! Thanks for your helpful video. Writing an essay with your tips will be easier than ever ... Your advice is worth gold !! :)

Hi Cristina! That is the idea! Hope this video helps a little bit with students’ writing skills. Take care

[@Crisguay]

Sorry teacher. I was wondering if "your advice is gold" is a correct expression in English ... Or maybe it sounds a bit weird. I'd like to know for sure. Thanks in advance!

Cristina Guaita Pardo hi there!!!The full expression is “to be worth its/their weight in gold”, so you should say “your videos are worth their weight in gold”. It’s a great expression, thanks a lot 💰

[@Crisguay]

@ Good!!! So it's the same as in Spanish, just the same. Thanks again, it's very nice of you to solve our doubts ; )

Cristina Guaita Pardo yea, the same!

Hola Monica, muchas gracias por tus videos, me estoy preparando para el examen y me estas ayudando mucho! Estoy intentando descargar el drive de organizacion que has dejado en la caja de informacion y me permite abrirlo, lo intentare mas tarde. Gracias!

Hola Andrea, que bien que los videos te estén ayudando 👏🏻👏🏻. El doc de drive, dices que has podido abrirlo o que no?

Te debe de salir una página nueva y te dirá “copy” document, para que hagas tu propia copia.

[@andreafallado7903]

Si, al hacer la copia me dice que no se puede abrir en estos momentos

[@leoalonso509]

Hi Mónica, I have a question; Is it ok to put in the introduction: It seems to me that, nowadays, it is well known that...? ( and then my opinion). thank you!

Hi Leo, of course you can! Those option are great to start your opinion essay. You could even say “it’s a well-known fact” instead of “it’s well-known”. Best of luck!

[@katymay1511]

[@enrique4618]

Hello Mónica. first of all. thank you very much. I have my examen in September and your videos are being very useful to prepare it. I would like to download the organizer but the link doesn´t work or at least I´m not able to download it. Could you fix it or maybe you can tell me if it´s possible to get the organizer by other way? Thanks

Hi enrique Try this link: docs.google.com/document/u/2/d/1I1EACkhvPSqS7F-pmGcQU4DmrmYHfvMp4tBzawFTe3U/copy. Then, just click on "make a copy" and it should be fine. Let me know!

[@enrique4618]

@ Thank you , great!

[@wandaarab4906]

can you help me on how to expand on my paragraphs for Think piece, examples maybe

[@olganieves8922]

Hi Monica, I am writing a Pandemic opinion Essay for college, but I am having difficulties focusing on one particular topic to write. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi Olga, I?m not sure if I understand well. You mean you need to write about the pandemic and you need to pick a specific aspect and write about it, is that right? IN that case, you could focus on the benefits or positive aspects that this pandemic has brought about (better relationships at home with our family, better food and healthy cooking, traditional board games put into use again, etc.

[@dariowins]

Can I be in both point of view, for example agree and desagree?. I mean, using public transportation helps the enviroment and saving money because is cheaper than Drive a car, but on the other hand some citéis have not enough and good public transportation or it is not easy to get your job by using public transportation.

Hello Ángel. Both in an opinion and essay and in a pros and cons essay, it's always much better to decide on one specific point of view and defend it. You might make reference of both positive and negative points, but when giving your opinion, it's always best to choose one side ;-)

[@javiervidales7600]

Please don't delay on your next lesson!

Javier Vidales , I’m already on it! 🥰

@ I really appreciate it!,😍

[@bernatcollpons6762]

Very useful video, thank you. However, we have been taught that in an opinion essay you don't put an opposing view. You only do this in a for and against essay. I would be most grateful if you could clarify this for me, please. Thank you

Hello there! The opposing viewpoint is totally optional, it will all depend on the word limit. Nothing wrong if you skip that paragraph:-)

[@evapalmero5301]

Hello, Monica. Thank you a lot for this helpful video. I've got a doubt, thoug. Is this structure suggested also for advanced levels, or may it be more "free" in C1 and C2 levels? I've been practicing with some EOI C1 exams and I reckon that essays are a little bit more pre-structured by the exercise, so we don't have the freedom nor the space to express our opinion but the given points.

HI Eva, yes, this structure is also appropriate for advanced levels, so it's common to follow some fixed guidelines and structures. Take care!
