helpful tricks
I have learnt a lot of useful things over my life, but the one which makes my life easier nowadays is what I call “Google tricks”. As everybody knows Google is a big business which offers a lot of product, but the most important is its well-known searcher.
I do not remember when was the first time I tried to find out some information on the internet but I do remember when a fabulous teacher of mine taught me how to do it properly by using Google. I was in secondary school, aged 16, we were trying to find out some information on the internet but we could not get it, so our teacher taught us how to use Google in a proper way.
He told us, for instance, that Google did not recognice prepositions or articles so better not to use them, “just focus on nouns and verbs” he said. Another useful searching comand was how to use quotation marks to look for group of words in a specific order. One of the most useful tricks was how to use the minus sign (-) to exclude words from the request. I use Google every single day and all of these simple tricks make my life easier by saving me a lot of time.

Good job Mario with the writing! And I think these tips will be very useful to many people!

This was really well-written, Mario. Your only real issue, really, was with a couple of spelling mistakes.
By the way, here in England we use the spelling "recognise," instead of "recognize," which is the spelling in North American English. However, over time the "American," way of spelling is increasingly accepted in England and its former colonies, whereas America does not use the spelling with an "s." Therefore, I have corrected your spelling of this word into American English.
