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.

Christmas is coming!!



Maria Navas has just reminded me that Christmas is coming. Tell us what Christmas means for you. Remember that our main goal is to write in English, so write whatever you feel like about this holiday.
 Listen, as well, to our new soundtrack song and check the lyrics in my site (it was one of the first songs I uploaded at the very beginning of the year).

ATTENTION, ATTENTION, RED ALERT!!!

And here are some gifts for the students who made 10 comments:   1   2   3
