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.

  23. It's a city of Russia. The 2014 Winter Olympics were a major international multi-sport event held in Sochi, Russia, in the tradition of the Winter Olympic Games. The Games were held from 7–23 February 2014. Both the Olympics and 2014 Winter Paralympics were organized by the Sochi Organizing Committee (SOC). Sochi was selected as the host city in July 2007. It was the first Olympics in Russia since the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. A total of 98 events in 15 winter sport disciplines were held during the Games.
    The lead-up to these Games was marked by several major controversies, including allegations of corruption among officials, concerns for the safety of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) athletes and spectators due to the effects of recently-passed legislation.

  25. Sochi is a city of Russia, located on the Black sea coast near the border between Georgia and Rusia. It was born in 1896. It has become a popular touristic city since the beginning of the 20th Century. Stalin lived there for a few years.

    The Olympic Games of Sochi 2014, which are the XXII Olimpic Winter Games in the history, will be on 7th February, and they will finish on 23rd of february. There will be 98 events in 15 winter sport disciplines and the main sports would be skating, skiing and snowboarding (like in other Olympic Winter Games). The mascot will be a polar bear.

    In my opinion it is a great opportunity for Spanish people and it's going to be exciting, but there have been a lot of revolts this year so people have to be careful.
