Preparing for an exam
Studying for an exam is not an easy task. You have to think about several things: the attitude you will have, which professors will be there, if maybe there's a slight chance of failing or passing it, the fact that you may be nervous that day, and it's totally normal. I mean, we are human beings and we are not always a hundred percent sure about what's going to happen. Moreover, I have been there, I am an English student and I assure you is a matter of practice, the more exams you take, the easier it gets, at leastlast you get rid of that awful insecurity sensation.
To start with, the most important thing we should do before an exam is: STUDYING, of course! and the question that comes to our minds is: how? What should I do first? In my experience what is needed is to assemble all the information: taken notes in class, photocopies, chapters you worked on, etc. And then, organizing all this gathered information and begin reading it, underlining all important information, making summaries, charts, everything that's helpful for us to understand and remember. Another key thing to remember is that memorizing is not always a good idea, if that day we're nervous we may go blank so we must UNDERSTAND what we are studying.
In conclusion, taking an exam might be stressful but if we apply these advices we will be better prepared for those moments.0 votedJuly 11, 20160Need help with some phrases and words in English!
Hello English native speakers, can you help me out with these sentences? I'd be very grateful if you could help me out.
"I won't be available for the next few days / in the next few days."
Should I say "for the next" or "in the next"?Both are correct
"The bathroom is on the left / to the theft, and the kitchen is at the end of the corridor."
Should I say "on the left" or "to the left"Both are correct again, but this last sentence would make best sense if you were there to point the direction to the person (To the left according to what?)
Please give me clear examples of when to use one and the other.
"Please read that paragraph on top of the page."
Should I say "on top of"?"On top of" isn't correct, it denotes something positioned over the page
"Please read that paragraph at the beginning of the page."
would work better
"I accidentally met James in the street."
Should I say "in"?Yes, you could also say "on the street"
"There is a bag full of stones at the bottom of the well".
Should I say "at the bottom"?Yes, that's correct too

Cycling and public transit are two common measures to improve transportation in many cities. While better provision for cyclist could have positive effects on societies, I argue that government funds should focus on public transport services rather than supporting using bicycle.
On one hand, using a bicycle for daily commute makes much benefits for people that no other transport could do. This is because riding a bicycle is like doing a physical excercise, so it would help to improve people health and to get in shape. Another reason is that bicycle is one of the most friendly environmental vehicles because itwhich would not does not generate any emissions. Moreover, bicycle costs enough low price prices cost low enough so each person that any person can get one. On the other hand, cycling has some disadvantages that could outweight the advantages mentioned above such as slow speed and bicycle(too reiterative) is unusable being uneffective in a long travel and not to reduce the number of personal vehicles. (But more people using bycicles do reduce the amount of use of personal vehicles doesn't it?)
There is are many merits of commuting by public transport, especially in the big cities. Firstly, buses or trains does ease traffic congestion, reduce emissions, cost less money than personal vehicles and allow passengers to relax (or be able to attend to other activities, some people dont relax in public transport). Secondly, public transit systems provide services for the whole society. For example, disable people, the old one(elderly ones) and tourists would meet such(not really necessary) a difficulty when using personal transport (car, motorbike, bike) so (so: Connects the idea) that public transports seems to be the best choice for them to travel. Although it has much benefits, public transports have some drawbacks such as low qualities and sexual crimes on buses and trains. Public transports are necessary in many urban and suburban areas and I believe with the financial supports of government, all the problems will be addressed.In conclusion, both bicycles and public transport systems have its own advantages and disavantages but I think public transport systems are more suitable for societies in present.

I am feeling so exhausted from sleepless nights. My son wakes me up sotoo many times throughout the night. Yesterday at night(Can be replaced with: Last night) he was so grumpy. I had to cuddle him all night. I guess he suffers from colic. When he sleeps on top of me he doesn't wake up so often. When he sleeps on top of me I can't fall asleep.0 votedJune 10, 20160Viernes viernes.
Me levanto mas temprano de la hora en la que suena el despertador. En la mañana, tuvimos la una reunion de(or: con los) profesores del distrito. Esta duró hasta pasado la hora del almuerzo. Comí carne de vaca y luffa para mi(more natural to say: el instead of mi ) almuerzo. En la tarde, fuimos a la escuela para firmar algunos papeles y práctiqué una baile que desempeñaremos el domingo. Porque, celebraremos el día de la Independencia de Filipinas.0 votedJune 10, 20160
