BEING A TEACHER....

BEING A TEACHER IS A DIFFICULT TASK NOWADAYS, SO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS PIECE OF ADVICE BY BRUCE LEE:

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

  1. It is called high-speed rail (HSR), fast train or bullet train that reaches above 200 km / h on existing lines upgraded speeds to 250 km / h on lines specifically designed for that purpose, according to the UIC (International Union Railways).

  2. As this article says, the high-speed trains has advantages and disadvantages. In Spain, we call it AVE, which means “High Speed Spanish”, while in France, they call it TGV, which means “Train à Grande Vitesse”.


    On the one hand, in my opinion, it’s a fantastic invention, because it allows you to go to a far place very fast and it’s also very confortable. In addiction, the construction of railway lines produce much more work, so it creates employment.
    In contrast, use the train pollutes less, since with one trip, it can move many people, and it doesn’t destroy as many field than motorways do, which are wider.


    On the other hand, I think that high-speed rails should be automatic and they should have the same speed, to avoid accidents like the Galicia’s or the Bronx’s accident in 2013. Otherwise, although the price of a train ticket is cheaper than a plane ticket, I think that the government puts too high the actual prices, and that they should be cheaper so that more people use this type of transport.


    In conclusion, I think that it’s a good idea to create more rails to communicate more cities, because the high-speed train has more advantages than disadvantages.

    I'm favor for the High Speed Train because there is a speed and confortable conveyance . You can travel 300 Km in one hour you can go to Andalucia to Barcelona in just three hours .

    I think there are a bit expensive but there have but it has more pros than cons . I reckon that in a future the trains can función with electric energy of the electrics centrals.
