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.

  8. I have just read the new in the BBC newspaper and I have to say that I am very surprised. The new say that there are countries like China, where is growning the middle class. What I want to say is that people in this countries have money enough in order to buy a fridge or think about buying a car or going to holidays. It is due to the emerging economy, particulary in Asia and Indonesia.


    Unfortunately, there are some countries like Spain where is disappearing the middle class. Some families, which few years ago had good salaries, now they are losing their houses and their dignity not having a job. It is due to economic crisis which we are suffering.

    Nowadays, I live in a class middle family but and tomorrow will have my parents a job?

  13. The ancient society was divided into different statuses, it is to said, closed groups where people couldn't ascend socially. The highest stratum was the king, and below was the clergy and the nobility. These people were privileged and didn't pay taxes, while peasants and workers were not privileged, so they had to pay a lot of taxes. However, today thankfully this has changed.

    Today a person who is born in a family without much money can succeed in life and ascend socially earning a lot of money; and at the same time a person who is born in a family with a lot of money, can fall into ruin and lose everything they had. So, society is at the present time divided depending on money.

    In my opinion, in Spain the most part of the population is in the middle class, they are people who work and earn enough money to live with some confort. However, there are countries, some of the richest in the world, such as Saudi Arabia, where poor people, is very very poor and rich people, very very rich. I think these inequalities should be reduced and that the rich should help more to the poor ones, so the country can develop.

    In the case of Spain, many people who belonged to the middle class is now in the lower class due to the current period of economic crisis. Many have lost their jobs and have very little help that prevents them from buying food or paying the mortgage, and that's why so many people are being evicted. Finally, I believe that to solve this problem it is necessary to eliminate social injustices and that the government should search more effective messures to make sure that all people can live in the best possible conditions.
