- I’m SICK OF the monotony that’s surrounding me on these days.
- Contrary to what one might think, I don’t have much free time on these days. So, I’m SICK OF spending every hour of the day doing something, I wish I had some time to relax.
- I’m HOOKED ON a new reality show cast on Netflix named The Circle. Players have to use the circle, which is a social media, in order to gain popularity and reach the last evening to be among the winner of a cash prize.
- Unfortunately, I’m also HOOKED ON food. I would like to eat at any time of the day.
- I’m PROUD OF me because I finally asked a professor to be the speaker of my thesis.
- I’m also PROUD OF myself because, even if I’m going against all my willing, I’m keeping myself fit.

Yes, isn't it strange that we seem to have little free time. I have a list of chores that I was sure I'd finally have time to do in lockdown.....they're still waiting on my 'to-do' list!
Good for you with your thesis! What will you be writing about?
Thanks for your comments, Francesca!

It's going to be something about the cinema, I still need to clear up my mind and find the right thing

- I’m SICK OF the fact that I can’t go out to see my friends.
- I’m SICK OF studying every hour of the day because we have lots of things to do. I’d love to be able to relax sometimes!
- I’m always HOOKED ON a TV series, when I start to watch one I never miss an episode and I am capable of watching it all day. These weeks, for instance, I’m HOOKED ON “Friends” which is a sitcom I think everyone knows. It makes me die laughing every time and watching it is a good way for relaxing and to push away the bad thoughts. I think it is a TV series that must be watched!
- I’m PROUD OF myself: this is something I used to say a few times in the past. 
- I’m PROUD OF how I came out from a difficult situation I lived 5 months go: I was ready (and I succeed at) to reborn stronger than ever!

Thanks for sending your work, Sara! It's so easy to get hooked on a TV series.....at the moment I'm hooked on 'Westworld'.
I'm glad to hear that you managed to get through a difficult situation 5 months ago and that you are now feeling even stronger than before!

I was rereading what I wrote and asking myself whether the use of the relative pronoun in sentence #5 is grammatically correct: I'm PROUD OF my brother WHO decided to sign up for college.
I wanted to emphasize the subject. Although, it sounded odd when I read the sentence aloud.

Re: DEPENDENT PREPOSITIONS

di Claire Jenkins -
Hi Maria Rosaria! I guess it would sound more natural if you said 'I'm PROUD OF my brother BECAUSE he decided to....' because you're giving a reason for your pride in him. Your sentence is correct though. The use of a DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSE could imply that you have more than one brother and therefore you're clarifying WHICH ONE that you're proud of: I'm proud of my brother WHO DECIDED TO...cioè that brother. OK?

Hi Miranda! I remember reading the Harry Quebert book a few years ago and it was a real page-turner. Are you reading it or watching the TV series? What about your new cooking skills? What have you learnt to make? Thanks for your comments. :-)

At the moment I am:
I am sick of people who are underestimating the problem of this traumatic experience. Not everyone is expected to live this situation easily.
I am hooked on Prison Break, an American TV series my brother advised me to watch. I have almost finished it and hope there will be season 6.
I am proud of people who stay home and of the ones who work despite the scaring situation and the possibility of getting infected.
