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.

Some advice for your fellow students 2015

The school year is coming to an end and I would like you to read old students' advice and then give some advice to the students that will follow your steps. Try to be sincere and, using appropriate advice structures, tell them what they should do. Include the level you are referring to at the beginning of your comment.

Here's an example. Pay attention to the structures used and also have a look at this (and then listen to the episode): 


For example:
I'm a student of 2º ESO and I would like to give you some advice if you are in 2º ESO next year with Albert:

  • I think you should....
  • You must....
  • You have to.....
  • Study everyday...
  • Don't  keep your things untidy....
  • If I were you, I would....
  • You'd better.... 
  • And remember TO ADVISE, SPELT WITH AN S, IS THE VERB (I'd advise you to do sth) and ADVICE, SPELT WITH A C, IS AN UNCOUNTABLE NOUN (My piece of advice for you is...  OR I will give you some advice about...)

 Write a comment giving your advice and tell me if you find any other useful structure or vocabulary connected with the issue.

  1. I'm a student of 3º ESO and I would like to give you some advice if you are in 3º ESO next year with Albert:

    You must prepare the English archive the day after the exam.
    You have to do all the work everyday.
    You'd better if you review your previous exams.
    I think you could sign up for classes, if you have problems with English. Increases beastly. (this was my fundamental solution)

  2. I am student of 3º ESO and I would like to give you some advice if you are in 3º ESO next year with Albert. I think that these advices can help you if you follow them:

    - I think you should read the three books (compulsory reading) during the summer. And if you haven't got much time at the summer, read it before reading in classroom.
    - Study everyday and review all the notes that you have taken that day.
    - If I were you, I would listen a lot English, that will help you yo learn more and to prepare for B1.
    - You must do all the comments for each term. Don't plagiarise of other people's comments. Write genuine comments, that will help you to improve your English.
    - Do keep your folder tidy and take it the day after the exam.
    - Never study the day before the exam, study everyday, because you will have a lot of exams.
    - If I were you, I would do all the projects, that will help you to get good marks.
    - Pay attention at all the teacher's explanations.
    - If you don't waste the time, you will have much free time.
    - You should do the video sketch.

    I THINK YOU WILL GET VERY GOOD MARKS. GOOD LUCK!

  4. Hi, friend. I'm a student of 3º ESO and I would like to give you some advice if you are in 3º ESO next year with Albert:
    -You must  give the folder to the teacher after do an exam.
    - In this folder you must have maps, book's exercises, writings, the workbook's exercises and the corrections that you make of the exam.
    - You must do your homework because if you do them you'll be able to understand all the things of vocabulary.
    - I think you should read the three books  during the summer because if you haven' t got much time at days after school is too difficult read the three books.
    - If I were you, I would make a blog in this summer because Albert demand it.
    - If you already have a blog, it's very good and easy, because you can scan your writings and upload them to the blog as new entries.
    - Study everyday and do the workbook's exercises are very good to review English.
    - If you don' t have much time you should make the video for Albert in summer or Christmas .
    - You must ask at your teacher the things that you don't understand.
    - When you back to holidays, you have to study for the first exam of the course.
    You have to have your folder tidy and clean. It is too important!
    - In summer, if you have enough time, you should watch the That English's courses for expand your vocabulary.
    - You should do some comments in the summer or do the 25 comments,all of them, but it's more difficult.
    - I think 3ESO is easy if you are tidy and if you study everyday.
    - I think that you'll get 10 in English if you do all this. Good luck.
