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.

  8. In my opinion men take care of their body and image. They usually go to gym, running, swimming, playing tennis or padel for do some exercise. But one thing is clear that almost all women are more concerned than mens in their bodies. The women usually go running ,walking or go to the gym. The men usually are happier with their bodies.

    The people who are more concerned of their image and body are actors, singers, models and dancers. People who are less concerned of their image and body are for example athletes, because when they are running, cycling, swimming in a race they can't take care of their image they have to take care of the race. One example is when a Formula 1 driver get out of the car he or she doesn't have perfect hairstyle. And another example is when models go to a gateway they must be pretty with a perfect hairstyle and beautiful dress.

    I am usually concerned of my image for example for school I wear good clothes. I usually do sport, tennis and swimming.

  9. In my opinion, some men don't like to tale care of their body. But there are also men who like to care. They do sport example: play football, tennis, running, walking, going to the gym...).
    Women care more about their appearence than men. On one hand, society demands more women as the body.
    Arrivals at a certain age women care more about their body.
    The survey, conducted by the magazine " Today" reflects that 77% of adult women talk about "fat" or their "old" and 80% of girls complain about their body at leart.
    78% of women surveyed said they spend nearly an hour a day devoted to improbe its appearance an average of 55 minutes avery day, involing some 335 hours a year, or what is the same two weeks before the mirror.

  10. Physical shape and appearance is something that has always been associated with women, like fashion, make up or cosmetics . Very few men used to worry about their body, alimentation or muscles, only those who needed it for his work because they are models, singers, actors or those who are involved in sports, like footballers or basketball players.

    However, I think that nowadays, men are more and more men concerned about their appearance and about being handsome and attractive. Young people, especially, go to the gym about twice a week, and also do other sports. Most of them want to have great abs and muscles. In some cases, this fact is so extreme that men use hormones or food supplements to increase their musculature faster. Recently, I have seen a report on television about the topic and I have discovered that many men have died due to these substances, especially bodybuilders. For this reason, I think that it’s fashionable to have a good image, but this shouldn’t become an obsession, in both men and women.

    Taking all this into account, not only there are a lot of men who are still not concerned about their physical image, but also obesity rates are increasing as a result of junk food. I think everyone should do a bit of sport, both for good physical shape and to be healthy.

    Important words about the subject: Body, alimentation, physical shape, appearance, muscles, musculation, handsome, attractive, gym, fashionable, image, look, sport, fashion, cosmetics.

  12. I always thought that body image was a female "obsession", but now men are also so concerned about their physical appearance. A survey was made and the problems of dissatisfaction of men were their "beer belly" and their lack of musculature.

    Body image isn't what other people see of us, but the way that you look and your image yourself.

    Everyone has a body image. Everyone has feelings about our appearance. Furthermore, we have thoughts and feelings about what other people think about our appearance. Our general body image can vary from very positive to very negative.

    The body image is also the way that you feel in your body: if you feel strong, capable, etc.

    Having a negative body image for a long time can affect yout mental health and your physical health. People who have a negative body image for a long time are more likely to:

    - Have anxiety, drepression, low self-esteem, shame, and difficulty in concetration.
    - Becoming socially isolated.
    - Not participating in healthy activities like doing exercise, swimming, etc.
    - Having serious mental health problems, like anorexia, bulimia, excessive exercise or overeating.

  13. Normally, we think that the care of the image is related to women but in the last survey, which has been made in London, men care more about their image recently. Especially they want more muscle and less beer belly

    Nowadays, there are men who only care about having muscles and so are every day to the gym. In adiction to this, they take a lot of pills like anabolic and too much protein in order to fatten their muscle. Consequently, there are some men who are obsessed, so they have a psychological disorder like vigorexia and some eating disorders.

    On the other hand, there are people who don't mind obsessively their image. For example, there are many people who go to the gym or do some sports in order to be healthy. Futhermore, only women took care of their bodies a few years ago, but today, many men also take care.

    In conclusion, I think that people must do sport and have a balanced diet in order to be healthy. In my opinion, people who take vitamins or anabolic pills and are obsesioned with do more and more sport, they are unhealthy people.

  15. Men and women are equal now, so men worry about their phsysical appearance too. Little by little, we can see men that go to the gym, eat healthy food, wear fashionable clothes, comb their hair, etc. I am very happy because not only women have to care about our appearance, men should also do it, because we are living in the same society and in the same world.

  16. Today there are men who care equally or even more its image than women. Today the physical is the first thing a person is valued in men today pluck go to the gym dieting to lose fat etc ...
    A tall, handsome, strong man .. attracts much more to women a man who cares for his physical. In my opinion the physical is not everything but I prefer someone who cares for someone who does not. Of course then there are the diseases like obesity, anorexia ruining the life of the person who suffers if there is someone who understands

  17. The men care about their body almost equal that the women when they are young.
    It is better good body because this means that the man have a good nutrition and he do sport.
    I think the men when they are young care of their body but when they are more aged, they put as a priority other things and they not think in their body.
    But this not always occurs.

  18. Normally, we think that the care of the image is related to women but in the last survey, which has been made in London, men care more about their image recently. Nowdays , we have a very demanding man image, most young women want a muscular man with a good six pack and hair care to the millimeter and depilated all over his body , there are men who only care about having muscles there are some men who are obsessed, so they have a psychological disorder like vigorexia and some eating disorders. Obesity rates are increasing as a result of junk food.

    In my opinion, it is best to have a healthy diet and do sports every day, because it is much better have a healthy live and a healthy body that go to the gym everyday and doping.

  19. Normally, the image is related to women but in the last years the men care about their body, maybe because the woman want other class of men. A man that go to the gym, has a good nutrition, with a healthy life, depilated all over his body....
    It is good that they take care of their bodies but never should to become obsessed because it isn´t health for the mind. This also happens with women who become obsessed with their body and end up developing psychological problems such as bulimia and anorexy.

    n my opinion it is good that both men and women take care but because they want, not to follow stereotypes or to be perfect.

  21. I think body image is one thing that people care too much nowadays. A lot of people go to the gym and they do sport there for hours! I don't really think that's necessary because eighty percent of this people go to the gym to improve their body image and not to stay fit.

    In my opinion I think that doing sport is a great way of keeping yourself fitted and healthy. You don't need to worry about your body image because if you practice it regularly and you have a good diet everyday your body is going to be fitted anyway.

    I think that going to the gym is a waste of time because most people find it boring and they don't have fun. That's why most of them stop going to it. If they practice a sport that they like it, they won't be bored and they'll have a fitted body and a good health.

    Some people don't care about their body image and I think that's fine. If you don't want to do sport, you don't have to do it, but the people that think that way aren't really conscious about their health or their time. If you don't spend your time doing sport, you can spend it on other sort of things like meeting your friends or doing homework, which is fine, but nowadays most of the people don't spend their time in healthy things, they spend it in playing computer games or watching TV, which decreases their health and their body image.

    In fact, I don't think that body image is a very important thing, but health is! That's why we should do sport everyday. So remember, you shouldn't take too much care about your image but you should look after your health.
