First and foremost, carefully read the passage or section and understand its main idea and purpose. Pay attention to the overall theme and the information presented. This will help you grasp the essence of the passage and identify the most relevant title.

Next, consider the tone and style of the passage. Is it informative, persuasive, or narrative? This will guide you in choosing a title that accurately reflects the overall tone and style of the passage.

Look for recurring keywords or phrases that capture the central idea or main theme. These keywords often provide clues to help you select an appropriate title. Consider the main points and arguments presented in the passage and choose a title that reflects these key elements.

When selecting a title, think about its broad and inclusive nature. A good title should encapsulate the main idea or purpose of the passage without being too specific or narrow. It should be able to cover the entire content of the passage or section.

Avoid titles that are overly generic or too similar to the headings or subheadings within the passage. Look for titles that capture the uniqueness and distinctiveness of the content. A strong title should entice readers and give them a clear sense of what to expect from the passage.

Pay attention to any contrasting or conflicting ideas presented in the passage. Consider whether the title you choose accurately represents the overall message, even if there are opposing viewpoints or multiple perspectives.

Allocate a specific amount of time for each question and avoid spending too much time deliberating on a single title. If you're uncertain about a title, make an educated guess and move on.

Le pâté de lapin
Alix, le petit lapin de garenne, vivait heureux à l’orée du bois proche de la ferme. Quand l'hiver est arrivé, la nourriture s'est faite rare et Alix avait grand-faim.
II s'est aventuré jusqu’à la ferme et a rencontré trois petits lapins blancs qui se régalaient en compagnie des poules. Il a été invité à manger et ce repas l'a réjoui.
- Reste donc avec nous, ont proposé les trois lapereaux. Tu verras, la vie est belle et sans souci.
Alix a passé deux jours inoubliables à la ferme, mais alors qu'il questionnait le chien au sujet du contenu de son écuelle à lui, le gardien de la ferme, celui-ci lui a répondu :
- Un reste de pâté de lapin, mon ami. Un régal !
Alix s'est enfuit à toutes pattes pour ne plus jamais revenir.

A lot of my students make mistakes in the Past Simple when they're having a conversation. I think this is so unnecessary because it really is simple. To be fluent in English, you need to go back to the simple tenses and learn them really well. Build the foundation of your English speaking on a strong Past Simple and Present Simple foundation. Happy listening!

Quienes tenemos relación con los idiomas sabemos que el aprendizaje de estos está constituido por todo un engranaje de procesos y habilidades y se consolida con la práctica verbal que, desde mi experiencia, es el último eslabón, es decir, hay un orden más o menos natural. A continuación, conozcamos los diferentes tipos de grupos que pueden existir y los beneficios que pueden proporcionar cuando aprendemos un idioma, en nuestro caso: español. Centrándonos, al final, en un asunto que me apasiona particularmente: los clubes de lectura.

Papel de la comunidad en el aprendizaje de español

It is estimated that about 40 per cent of the world’s population use social media, and many of these billions of social media users look up to influencers to help them decide what to buy and what trends to follow.

So what is an influencer and how do we become one?
An influencer is a person who can influence the decisions of their followers because of their relationship with their audience and their knowledge and expertise in a particular area, e.g. fashion, travel or technology.

Influencers often have a large following of people who pay close attention to their views. They have the power to persuade people to buy things, and influencers are now seen by many companies as a direct way to customers’ hearts. Brands are now asking powerful influencers to market their products. With some influencers charging up to $25,000 for one social media post, it is no surprise that more and more people are keen to become influencers too. If you are one of them, then here are five tips on how to do it.

1. Choose your niche
What is the area that you know most about? What do you feel most excited talking about? Find the specific area that you’re most interested in and develop it.

2. Choose your medium and write an interesting bio
Most influencers these days are bloggers and micro-bloggers. Decide which medium – such as your own online blog, Instagram or Snapchat – is the best way to connect with your followers and chat about your niche area. When you have done that, write an attention-grabbing bio that describes you and your speciality area in an interesting and unique way. Make sure that people who read your bio will want to follow you.

3. Post regularly and consistently
Many influencers post daily on their social media accounts. The more you post, the more likely people will follow you. Also, ensure that your posts are consistent and possibly follow a theme.

I couldn't put it all here so I hope it was enough :)
