 THIS WEEK WORD IS:

ON THE OTHER HAND 

Tipo: linking phrase / conector de contraste 

Significado (ES): Por otro lado — introduce un punto de vista opuesto o contrastante.

What is it? 'On the other hand' is used to show the other side of an argument.

 It's perfect for reports where you need to compare two ideas or give pros AND cons.

Examples: The violin can be difficult to learn at first. On the other hand, many children find it very rewarding once they start to improve. 

Practising every day takes a lot of time. On the other hand, it helps you get much better very quickly.

✏️ Tip: use on the other hand when you want to show TWO sides — like "some people think… on the other hand, others believe…" 

It makes your report sound really balanced and academic!
