IELTS Writing - Letters



Writing letters have been always confused for people who are not native. We usually use our own experience with our first language to move on but almost always we do lots of mistakes because English is not the same and sometimes it looks like illogical. Anyway I hope this video helps you with your writing

We use the simple past when the time is clear ( specific time)

(We know exactly when.)


General Activities with FOR and SINCE


We use present perfect when the activity has not finished yet

WHEN TO USE MAY BE AND MIGHT BE?

MODAL VERBS
MAY - MIGHT
(mey bi - mait be)
El verbo modal "may" se utiliza para indicar que algo puede ser posible:

* En este caso vamos a formular Oraciones con may and might seguido de BE ( may be / might be). Ambos expresan intencidad de posibilidad.

He may be lost.
El puede estar perdido
( Es posible que este perdido)

You may find a good hotel.
Tú puedes encontrar un buen hotel
(Es posible que puedas encontrar un hotel)

She may want to come with you.
Ella puede querer venir contigo
"might be" prácticamente tiene el mismo significado, aunque "may be" indica un mayor grado de probabilidad:

He might be at home.
El podría estar en casa
( Es probable que pueda estar en casa)

He may be at home.
El puede estar en casa
( Es posible que pueda estar en casa)
* Decir que es posible es estar mas cerca a lo verdadero mientras que lo probable es menos posible. Ambos tienen un grado de intencidad distinto uno del otro. Podriamos decir que May be esta a un 80% y might be a un 50% de lo certero.

FILM CLUB


SOLOMON KANE

Solomon Kane is a fictional character created by the pulp-era writer Robert E. Howard. A 17th century Puritan, Solomon Kane is a somber-looking man who wanders the world with no apparent goal other than to vanquish evil in all its forms. His adventures, published mostly in the pulp magazine Weird Tales, often take him from Europe to the jungles of Africa and back.

Once a mercenary of Queen Elizabeth I fighting Spainards in Africa, He met the Devil's Reaper and discovered he was bound for hell! Barely escaping he soon renounced violence to atone for his past sins, seeking out redemption in a life of peace. That is until the followers of priest turned sorcerer Malachi kidnap a Purtian girl Meredith Crowthorn and brutally slaughter her family before his very own eyes (including butchering her beloved younger brother Edward who Solomon had befriended)! Forcing Solomon to take up arms and return to his violent ways once more to rescue her! In doing so means returning to his birthplace and facing his older brother Marcus who (in his youth) he accidentally left disfigured (and for dead), who now serves as merciless enforcer to Malachi.
