Merry Christmas!
Yes and no! Time went by so fast, don’t you think?
Well, I’m sure we’ve learned a lot! But it’s not all done yet! Hehe… There’s always something we can learn from every little thing!
Here we have happy to see = adjective + infinitive
We can use adjective + infinitive (with to) to say what we think of things that people do. We do this with adjectives like clever, crazy, right, silly, stupid and wrong.
You’re crazy to think you can get there in an hour.
You were clever to bring an umbrella.
We can also use infinitives (with to) after adjectives for feelings, like afraid, glad, happy, pleased, sad, surprised, unhappy.
Mom will be glad to find you at home.
I’m pleased to meet you.
Okay! I’ll be happy to know that you’ve got that!

Dr. Seuss (1904-1991) é um dos mais populares escritores da literatura infanto-juvenil dos E.U.A. Mestre nas rimas e nos jogos de palavras, ele já vendeu mais de 100 milhões de exemplares e foi traduzido para dezoito línguas. Além de escrever sempre do seu jeito bem-humorado, Dr. Seuss também fez os desenhos da maioria de seus livros. Nos países de língua inglesa, suas histórias são adoradas em escolas, e muitas crianças aprenderam a ler com seus personagens.
No Brasil, o autor acabou não ficando tão conhecido e sua obra quase não tem traduções para o português, mas teve certa notoriedade quando alguns de seus livros tiveram adaptações para o cinema, como o filme “O Grinch”. Seus livros são inteligentes e falam sobre coisas do cotidiano e temas mais complexos do que os autores infantis tradicionais. Isso faz com que as crianças sejam desafiadas a pensar mais sobre o que veem nas obras.

To talk about types of material or to say what something consists of, we often use is made, which is the passive form of make.
There are a few different prepositions commonly used after is made, each expressing something slightly different.
First, let’s look at the difference between of and from, i.e. is made of versus is made from.
We use made of when we talk about the basic material or qualities of something. It has a meaning similar to ‘composed of’:
We usually use made from when we talk about how something is manufactured:
You may have heard someone say that something is made out of something. We usually use made out of when we talk about something that has been changed or transformed from one thing into another:
Made of is also possible in the two examples above.
Here are some hands made out of paper – making planes out of paper.
We use made with most often to talk about the ingredients of food and drink:
Finally, there is made up of, which means consist of:
As you can see, the differences are sometimes very subtle. The good news is that if you use the wrong preposition after is made, people will still usually understand you. And as I mentioned above, in some cases the prepositions are interchangeable.
