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.

Carpooling????
CARPOOLING is one of the trendiest means of transport, but what is it? Here's the definition. All that glitters is not gold (can you tell me what this expression means?), so in your comments you can let me know the advantages and disadvantages of using this means of transport.

When sharing the same space we may have some problems such as the way you smell. Here's a listening exercise to do: Perfume: what your smell says about you (6 Minute English, BBC Learning English)

Activities for my 2nd ESO students: Can you tell me the difference between these two sentences? 1.- Stop smoking 2.- He stopped smoking Take a look at this episode of English in Minute and explain the difference. Try to do the test online too. the difference between, he quit smoking and stopped smoking is that he stopped smoking to stop smoking means smoking and stopped smoking is that I quit smoking forever.
STOP DOING SOMETHING significa dejar de hacer algo >>> he doesn't do something any more STOP TO DO SOMETHING significa parar para hacer algo >>> he stopped and did something. For instance, he stopped the car and had a cup of coffee.
Activities for my 2º ESO students: Can you tell me the difference between these two sentences: 1.- He stopped smoking 2.- He stopped to smoke
When you use the verb + the ING form the activity stops, for example: -He stopped smoking: he don´t smoke anymore When you use the verb in the infinitive form you stop to do another action to do the action of the verb in infinitive, for example: -He stopped to smoke: he stopped to do another action to smoke
There are a lot of ways to move from one town to other, you can go by car, by train, by plane, by ship, etc. But now, there are other forms to go, like carpooling, a method in that you call to another person that you don´t meet, and who is going to the same place that you, and you pay to him for the travel. It´s a very useful method and it is very cheap. I haven´t try this, but I think that it is interesting to travel with an unknown and it can be fine.
Nowadays, there are a lot of new ways of transport, and many of them are because of the evolution of the Internet and the technology. Practically every one has a car, and it is a good way to transport, but there are other options like taking a bus, taking a plane, taking a ship or taking a train. All these options pollutes less than a car, but they can result a bit expensive, so if you´re searching for transport and you don´t want to spend much money, finally you will take the car. But, there is another option, called carpooling. In this option you use a mobile app to contact people that are going to the same place as you, and they take you there if you pay them a certain amount of money. It isn´t as expensive as train or planes, and it pollutes a bit less, too. So if you´re looking for transport, and you want to meet new people, you should try go on carpooling.
Carpooling is a way of sharing transportation. The concept of carpooling is by no means a new one. From finding co-workers to commute with via the staff noticeboard, to sharing the school run, the idea of catching communal lifts to save money and ease congestion has been around long time before.
On the one hand, carpooling is very good for the environment because the fewer cars on the road, the less pollution there is. In addition, carpooling is good for us because it helps to have a better relationship and communication between everyone, especially if you're carpooling with your co-workers. Besides, nowadays in Europe carpooling is becoming very popular thanks to an app called "BlaBlaCar" with which you can take people in your car and earn money.
On the other hand, there are more and more people who have their own car and prefer to travel alone. In addition, many times we are afraid to use "BlaBlaCar" because we don’t know the people with whom we will travel. Moreover, many times car sharing is not good for us because, for example, if we travel in someone else's car to go to work and that person is late, then you will be late for work too. If you use your own car, you won't have this problem.
In conclusion, carpooling is very good because it helps the planet. In my opinion, people should do it more often.
