Translation from Spanish to English of "dar luces sobre..." I have to write in English the next: "Esperamos que este estudio pueda dar luces sobre el análisis de los académicos frente proceso de adopción de IFRS en Colombia". Well, I have problems with the translation of "dar luces sobre..." How do you correctly say that in English?

Use of "of" I have a problem with the use of "of". When do I have to put it in the middle of the words? Some days ago, I wrote "Cauca river geographic valley" as the translation of "valle geográfico del río Cauca". My boss corrected me, but I did not understand why I had to put "of".

I wonder what the plants feel This morning, I carefully looked a tree . After some minutes, I was wondering what hard it would be if I were a plant. I mean, they are living, too, like animals or humans. I can't believe that plants just give oxygen to the planet and... nothing else. The thing is that a tree can not express itself in no way. However, even though plants can not say anything, when you talk to a plant every mornings, it will grow beautiful. What does a tree feel when you cut one of its branches? Maybe I'm crazy, I don't know.

Difference between "by", "for" and "per" Can someone explain me when I have to use each one of those words? When do I have to use "by", when "for" and when "per"? Thanks a lot.

Meaning of the word "just" I've never could understand what the meaning of "just" is. When I have to use this word?

My class This semester, I signed up in a course named Organizations. In this course, the texts are all in english. The teacher explain the subjects in spanish, though. I can read in english; slowly, but I can. However, I have to write in english, too. I have to present all the assignments in english, and it is a problem for me. It's scary when you need a good grade and you can not explain your ideas as good as you want because you have difficulties with the language. :S

My First Day Like Research Assistant Today is my first day like research assistant. The teacher who I'm going to help is my favorite teacher. He is very smart. He is always speaking about the theories of accounting, because he is an Accountant. I want to be like him. Now, I am helping him with his new project: "approaching to the rol of external financial information in an hybrid culture context". I hope to learn a lot in this project.

My Boss I was working during the vacations. That was my first official work. I want to tell you who my boss was. The day I got hired, the company just said "you'll work for the director. She is German". When I heard that my new boss was German, I felt so scary, because I thought she was going to be rude and very serious. But after I knew that women my thinking changed completely. She is a very outgoing and charismatic person. She was always smiling and never seemed angry. I got along with she. Then, she began to be my friend and now she and I are very closed friends. It makes me feel happy.

My Home Without Parents I think that living without my parents is too difficult. If I lived without my mother, it would be hard to go to home and... nothing, no one is waiting for you. If my father did not live with me, no one would prepare my breakfast before I went out in the mornings. However, two days ago, my parents traveled to other city, because of familiar reasons. These two days I have had to survive by myself. I have had to cook and keep the house cleaned. The important is I have survived, and it don't seems so bad as I thought.
