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. Each time football and women's basketball is more common since society is beginning to change in that aspect since people want there to be equality between men and women, that none is above the other.

    Before it was not common to see teams of girls of soccer or basketball, these teams were less appreciated and the truth is what they would continue to be but not in the way of before, for example, women's matches placed in more secondary or tertiary channels as they do not give as much importance as those of men since these parties put them on the main channels so that when you turn on the TV you get out and you watch them.

    I think that this will gradually change the air, since it has had a great evolution in all this time and now there are many more people who watch women's football and basketball games.

    Xavi , he was very good , he was a legend , for all the people he is the best middle center in the world .And for forward :
    Maradona because he is magic with the ball , he was very good , the best , he is Argentinian , and he is the king in the football.

  5. In The actually in sport women are not as valued as men in many cases, often pay them less or give less importance. There are many women who play very well in many sports but are not as well known as men for the simple fact of being a woman, this should change and little by little is changing and improving the situation. Women play as well as men. Messi is very well known for being a soccer player, but instead Megan rapione or luzy bronze are not having the same importance in football

  8. football is a beautiful sport, now Barsa has 2 very good young players, they are PEDRI and ANSU FATI, they are Spanish, and they are very good and they are making Barsa win many games, Barsa has very good players for Example: Messi, the best player in the world, Jordi Alba, Ter Steguen, Pedri, Ansu Fati ... and many more, they are making Barsa win many games, Barsa in the last 2 years, he didn´t win anything, they lost everything, and that was very sad, because Barsa is one of the best teams in the world.And many people like this new barsa, I think these players are and will be legends

  9. In the world there are a lot of sports , for example football basketball , tennis .Sports can be water, for example swimming, land, for example football, and air for example skydiving.


    Now Iam going to talk to you about some sports:

    Football:in there ,there are two teams of eleven players and subtitutes , and they have to score a goal ,in football you can buy or sell players, my favourite player is Messi , he is a legend , I love him because he is very well , and he is very clever , brave , intelligent...


    Basketball:there are two teams of five players with subtitutes , who have to put the ball in a basket,they have to get a lot of points to win .Basketball is a very typical sport here in Spain, my favourite player is Pau Gasol.


    Tennis : there are two players in different teams in wich they hace to hit the ball with the racket ,It is a difficult sport, you have to run a lot, be strong, be intelligent ....My favourite player is Rafael Nadal , because he is very strong , clever , intelligent....

    Sports are healthy exercises, and good for the body, the environment, for example if you ride a bicycle, you don´t pollute the air. I like to do sports.

  10. Today I am going to talk about women´s football. I think that women´s football is as funny as men´s football , it is very cool. But it has some problems , like for example : The women´s games aren´t
    on TV , and you can´t watch them , or when there is a game of theirs , people don´t watch it .

    There are very good playes like for example: Alex Morgan , Megan Rapione , Alexia Putellas...
    Alexia Putellas , she plays for Barcelona , she is a player who has won the Ballon D´Or and many trophies like the Champions League , Queen´s cup ...
    These women are better than many other men playing football.
    I think women´s football is very cool and funny too watch.

  11. I think that Barsa has lived its three worst years of its history , Barsa lost all its matches , Barsa
    didn´t win any trophies , and Barcelona suffered a lot,for example they lost very important matches and they have had very sad days , for example , in Uefa Champions League , Barsa lost against Bayern 2-8 , but many years ago Barsa lost other important matches , other very sad days...Like
    for example , against Roma , Barsa lost 3-0 , or for example against Liverpool , Barsa lost 4-0 .

    Two years ago the coach of FC Barcelona was Koeman , that man is a legend of Barsa , he was a Dutch defender , he was a very good player , but he was a very bad coach , he bought very bad players like Braithwaite , but the president , Bartomeu had the same fault , and more , he spent a lot of money on very bad players .

    But now , Barsa has a new president , Laporta , he was at Barsa many years ago .And now , Barsa has a new coach , Xavi , he was one of the best midfielders in history , and he is one of the best Spanish players in the history .These two men have made the Barsa plays better, and they are buying very good players , for less money , like for example , Kessie , Kounde, Lewandowski...
    I believe that this year Barsa is going to win a lot more trophies.
