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.

  2. Animals in extinction have to take care because if not stay more and children will not only know existed. Lynx is here in Spain and we are very few and soon disappear if we keep hunting them. The eagle is also in danger of extinction. Other animals are in protected areas where you can not hunt in order to play and not become extinct. In my opinion the poachers are bad.

  3. In Spain there is much variation in species extinction because humans do not take care of the world, because of the hunting or the weather. The Iberian lynx is one of them. To improve we must not throw trash on the ground or the sea that takes a long time to degrade; least take the car and take the bike; all and not some recycled and environmentally limpio.Los this more protected parks are very few I think should have more to care for the animals that are in extinction

  4. Smuggling is an illegal activity that involves dealing with products without paying the taxes, especially customs taxes.
    For example marijuana, The niggas copying clothing brands and animals where hunting is forbidden by the danger of extinction. In my opinion many animals are in extinction because of humans and used for personal gain. So the animals does not have many thousands of years to disappear

  5. I reckon the species in danger of extinction, are so because of humans and their action on the nature. We are slowly killing some species disappear forever from our planet like the lynx in Spain, whales, elephants, eagles and many others, that future generations will only wll know imaging.

    In the news say some governments that have the G20 measures to fight and save the environment will start, but no one believes anymore because countries like the US and China, are the polluters and not close their factories to save the environment.

    We can help with small actions such as recycling, saving electricity and water, keeping the environment clean, etc.
