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.

INCREDIBLE, BUT TRUE (QUARANTINE: DAY 38)





Apart from more dictations for our IES Mediterraneo students, here are two incredible, but true pieces of news: First, do you know that the price of petrol is so low that sellers have to pay buyers!!!! Secondly, an elderly man (he is almost a century years old!!!) is raising millions of pounds to help the NHS (National Health System) in United Kingdon!!!!


The price of crude oil has turned negative as coronavirus disrupts international travel (ABC News)

  1. I have the same news that is about a 115-year-old woman who has passed the Second World War and survived the coronavirus even having rheumatism. Javier Rivas López 1ºA .

  2. I find it super incredible that a rather older man could have approved. It seems incredible, but it is not. Surely he has been quite excited, and with his age he has been much more excited.

  3. This man is incredible, a hundred years old, and he is beautifully preserved. A hundred years is many years, this old man most likely has fought in both world wars.

    I am very surprised by these people that with more than a hundred years are still alive, today it is very difficult to find people this old. In my family, my great-grandmother is ninety-seven years old !! She takes me 80 years old, it's impressive, we love her like no one else.

    At these ages her whole body hurts, but my great-grandmother is like an oak. Take the stairs about 20 times a day, not standing still. Hopefully we get to that age.

    One day I was watching a video on my cell phone, and I saw a ninety-year-old grandmother playing the console, I was amazed, there you see her playing the console better than me!!!
