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. Boxing Day is a holiday traditionally celebrated the day following Christmas Day, when servants and tradesmen would receive gifts, known as a "Christmas box".
    In the UK, Boxing Day is primarily known as a shopping holiday, much like Black Friday in the US.

    Boxing Day in the football
    In the Premier League the football doesn't stop at Christmas and this Friday all teams dispute his 18 ª day of the league. The boxing day in the football has been already a tradition in the United Kingdom that it claims that all the stadiums fill with followers of all the ages in order that they enjoy the Premier League.
    "At this moment the German guys are on the beach, the Spanish guys are in the Maldives getting sun - everybody else is doing that. But in this country you play on the 22nd, you play on Boxing Day, you play on the 28th, you play on New Year's Day. There is not Christmas” - said Jose Mourinho, Chelsea's coach.

  2. Boxing Day is a national holiday when the banks close in Great Britain and in other nations which were former British colonies. It takes place on the 26th of December, which is the day after Christmas.
    Nobody is absolutely sure where the name comes from, but it is thought that is derives from the Christmas boxes that employees received from their employers the day after Christmas. This tradition dates back to 1830, although Samuel Pepys mentions in his diary giving Christmas boxes to the poor people in 1663.
    Now-a-days, Boxing Day is an important shopping day when the sales provide big reductions on items. Some people compare it with Black Friday, because of the huge crowds of shoppers.
    Boxing Day is also a traditional sports day when they practice cricket in Australia, ice-hockey in Canada and fox hunting, football, rugby and horse racing in Britain.
    I think it´s a nice tradition. I wish we had it here In Spain instead of just “the day after Christmas”, which is very boring.

  3. Nowadays, all people who love football and is follower the Premier League know what is The Boxing Day and this has some advantages and disadvantages.

    Firstly, All teams play the same day, 26th of December, which makes it possible to shorten the sessions. Also, it has been held 154 years since 1890 that the first game of the day was held: Sheffield FC and Hallam FC. A historic event that highlights the Boxing Day occurred in world war when Belgian, German and English gave respite to play a game.

    On the other hand,players can't enjoy Christmas because for example, they should play or go to beneficial acts Christmas in order to collect some money for poor people. For that reason, coaches and players complain about this. In addition to this, they also have to play in the New Year's Day so they are totally against.

    To sum up, I think that the Boxing Day and the New Year's Day should play before Christmas as foreign players can't be with their families.

  5. Boxing day is the day after Christmas day. It is a holiday in Britain and in other parts of the world.It is a tradition in which people gave some presents to poor people and also they ate all the things cooked the previous days. Also, shops are open and there are some sales( I like it because you like going shopping). In this day, there are also a lot of football matches, because all the teams play. Can we celebrate this day in Spain too? Especially to go shopping!!!
