    I am a bit confused about the difference between despedido and despedida. Can I say "despedida" to mean farewell? Or does it mean you are fired?

    I would play a prank on someone, never make! But I’m American; maybe the British say it another way

    Start with children's books; maybe easy reader books or picture books for children just beginning to read. I know I enjoyed reading "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" -- that's about grade 4 or 5 probably or ages 8 to 10 -- in Spanish translation when I started studying Spanish.

    Resignation letter

    Dear Mr. Wang,
    Please accept this letter as formal notification that I am resigning from my position as an editor for the magazine <em>Design & Fashions</em>.
    Thank you so much for having given me the opportunity to work in this position for the past two months. It's been a wonderful experience to work for such a great company. However, during this time I have found that my present job doesn't fit in with my educational background. Therefore, I've decided to explore a new path in my career journey.
    Please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience my leaving may cause. And I'll do everything possible to wrap up my duties and train other team members.
    Sincerely,
    Li Ming

    I recommend a book called "The Ins and Outs of Prepositions" which gives examples of all the prepositions and has exercises that help you master them.

    As an English language teacher, I can tell you that prepositions are among the very hardest things to master in English. Even my most advanced students have problems with prepositions. This is because the use of prepositions is very idiomatic and there are few rules to help guide you. But if you study the book that I mentioned above, it will help you see certain patterns and that should help you.

    is digital disinformation destroying democracy?

    The Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections continues to be an important concern not only in the United States but also in the rest of the world. In Colombia, during the 2018 elections, the newspaper <em>El Tiempo</em> reported that according to Frank Mora, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense, the Russians were influencing social media and “manipulated the electorate” in Latin America. He couldn’t say which candidate they were supporting, but he was sure that they wanted to damage the relationship between the United States and Latin America. This text will discuss the danger that misinformation can create in our society and democracy.

    Evidence shows there should be real concern over the interference of Russia in elections. But according to some historians, this situation is not new. During the cold war, Russian and American interference was part of the relationship between these major powers in the world. A dangerous narrative would be to believe that only this intrusion can destroy democracy. This also means society is voting according to the memes and videos published on Facebook; for me, that is the most worrisome fact.
    If social media is gaining such enormous power in society, the government has to investigate this new player. The Constitution has to protect society with strong rules against disinformation. That means companies like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter have to be careful with the information they provide.

    On balance, the information on social media is the new scenario for public opinion. Democracies are legitimate in such situations. The real question is, by what means are we creating our opinion about what is happening in the world? And how much power does the state have to control the social media, without limiting the right of free expression?

    Please help me to check my<em> essay</em>

    The bar chart illustrates changes <em>in</em> graduate unemployment at the age<em>s</em> of 20-24 for both female<em>s</em> and male<em>s</em> in one European country in the period of 2008 and 2009.

    In general, the rate of unemployed graduates reached the highest in October of 2009 while the percentage of employed graduates was highest in April and July of 2008.

    In January of 2008, the percentage of men and women who were out of work was approximately 10% and 8% respectively. However, these proportions varied as the numbers of unemployed men and women in April and July leveled off , with 6% unemployment for female graduates and 8% unemployment for male graduates. The number of unemployed graduates rose to 16% for males and 11% for female in October 2008.

    In the first few months of 2009, the percentage of male graduates who were unemployed was quite similar, namely 12.5% in January and April while the number of unemployed female graduates was quite low at 6%. In July of 2009, the employment status for both genders was not significantly different, with 11% for men and 10% for women. But these figures peaked in October, with 22% for men and 14% for women.

    Estoy viendo la serie en Netflix: "La Casa de Las Flores" (en espanol con los subtitulos en espagnol tambien.) Es divertida y las conversaciones no son muy dificiles a comprender.
