Summary of Units

Units 9 and 10 were an excellent part of this English course because they show cool topics that are helpful for daily speaking and communicating with English speakers.

 In unit 9 we learned about collocations and prepositions which is essential for speaking with co-workers about tasks, routines and even express a feeling from a story or quotes. There was also phrasal expressions that I found interesting to use in my language when I try to express certainty or uncertainty; for certainty I could use: indisputable, without a doubt, irrefutable, undeniably, or unquestionably; on the other hand, for uncertainty I could use not 100 percent certain, questionable, debatable and  not clear-cut.

There is a cool article with some phrasal words that is interesting to spend time on and I found it entertaining, the title of this article is "Now you see it" and it talks about a man who stole a famous painting called The Scream in 1994 in a museum in Norway. The funny part is that when the robber got caught up, he told the judge that he did it for the love of art.
Finally on this unit, the unreal past grammar which is important to understand what the article or speaker is referring in terms of the situation, time is stating.

In unit 10, there were more useful phrases for daily speaking and on par with Unit 9, grammar points that are useful, such as the use of modals and uses of would.
The use of modals is an active grammar which provides a lot of different methods to speak or write for certain occasions. The use of will is for predictions, might to talk about possibility, must or can't for obligations, can for permissions, (be) supposed to to talk about what you have to do according to rules or regulations, (be) bound to for future prediction of certainty, (be) likely to for probability and last ought to, need to  for  obligation, duty, or necessity.

Another interesting point from this unit was the "strong feelings" vocabulary and that reminded me when I tried to speak like a bit complex, but I couldn't say it, and thanks to this vocabulary from this unit I through some practice, I won't forget to use.

Finally, an interesting article called The House on Mango Street, which is a story that talks about how a girl went through her life living with her family renting houses, which is tough and thanks God for everything, I've never experienced that, and I'm conscious that working hard can make me live in a full-paid house that comes from my pocket.

These units are great and I think I'll review them when I need to.
