In which famous film have you seen this proverb? What does it mean?
Nowadays, students have to go to school in the afternoon and then in the afternoon they may have to go to private classes, to the music school or official language school in Motril, do some sport, do loads of homework, study... and yes, they also have to chat with their friends, keep their social networks updated and even slepp. This is just a restless life, but what can we do?

Apart from the proverb, my piece of advice would be to make the most of any experience or activity you have to do, so for example if you are in class, you have to be 100% attentive to all what teachers say and do as much as you can.

That proverb means that children must play apart from working or studying. I have read that children now have a lot of activities: going to school, sports, classes in the afternoon, learning new languages,etc.. we are always doing something, we don´t have time to relax and go out with our friends.
ResponderEliminarI think that parents and teachers must know that we have a lot of things to do in the mornings and in the afternoons, they must think before giving us more work to do. We are living in a very competitive society, and people must know about everything, and that make us stressed. We can´t know how to play an instrument, playing a sport, studying a lot,...that's impossible.
I think that children must be children, we have to have time to relax, play, and do what we want.

Today all the boys and girls, we need to play and enjoy. We must study, play and have fun because it is necessary to have a good mood and be healthy. Having fun is just as important as doing sports and studying.
ResponderEliminarWhen I was in 3rd grade I tried to study, read and play every day and that was very easy to achieve but as the years go by the teachers must send more homework for us to improve in these subjects. This leads to less time for other things.
If you study a lot during the course you will receive good grades at the end and you will be able to enjoy all the holidays without having to worry about making up the subjects and not having to repeat.
In conclusion, you can achieve your dreams and be happy only if you manage to do a good measure of each activity. The best advice I can give you is to make the most of your time to study so that you will have time for everything.
