First of all I want to say that you are incredible teacher.
I’m currently living in USA for 4 years but my writing skill is still very poor.
After I watched this lesson I have a question about thesis statement in the introduction part. It would be good if you explain more about thesis statement because in USA is important as well. Thanks.
Your thesis is the main argument of your essay. It is important to have in your introductory paragraph, so your teacher will know what you are writing about, and what your opinion about it is. If there is anything more specific that you would like to ask, please feel free. Thanks for writing!

Hi, Alex! I got 5 correct answers again! I’m so clever) To be honest, I don’t like writing, because it’s one of the most difficult part in English language. By the way, how should I write: one of the most difficult part or one of the most difficult parts?
Alena, the correct sentence is, “One of the most difficult parts.” You cannot say “one of,” unless there is more than one thing you are talking about. More examples:
“One of my friends,” and NOT “One of my friend.”
“One of the best countries,” and NOT “One of the best country.”
“One of her favourite movies,” and NOT “One of her favourite movie.”
I hope this helps. Thank you for commenting.
