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.
Learn vocabulary about relationships in this funny article to read: An unusual honeymoon
Here's an article about the Freedom Tower in New York. Do you remember anything about the Twin Peaks and what happened to them?
And now that we are probably going to the Republic of Ireland, have a look at this article about a most relevant matter for Irish people: Symbol of peace
Write comments about any of the three proposed issues and send me any related articles you may find.
Thanks!!
After our success with our IV Study trip to UK: Chester, we are already thinking about next year.
Dublin is the option we have in mind and that most students voted for.
Let's see theadvantages and disadvantages:
>>> DUBLIN (2014-2015example of one group that went this year).
If we do it, they will not increase the price of trip, that is, 530€. Therefore, this would be the fifth consecutive year that the total cost of the trip (school + flight + activities + coach to Málaga) is not more expensive than 800€!!!!
+ You pay in Euros, so we don't have to change.
+ The cost of the trip is fair enough.
+ Nice small city (Tourist informationabout the city). I have been there several times and I can assure you it is a wonderful city.
+ Possibility to visit the harbour of Howth, the harbour of Dún Laoghaire, Galway or Cork.
+ We have never been there, so students who have participated in our previous experiences could still go.
+ Host families are usually concentrated in an area of the city.
+ The weather may be a bit better than in Edinburgh, but you still have got the four seasons in one day, that is, you can have sun, rain, wind, cold.... on the same day.
Next Wednesday, 20th May, we will be having a meeting to present our proposal for our V Study Trip to the British Isles. This time we are planning to go to Dublin.
Those students interested who would like to learn about our project are welcome!!!! And there will be another meeting for the families on Monday, 25th May, in the afternoon.
Hard times are ahead of us as our school year is coming to an end an we are in our final rush, but don't worry because most of you are ready to solve any hurdles you may come across, so...
GOOD LUCK!!!! and here's an encouraging song for you to listen to
Watch this That's English programme, especially at the end where you can find a documentary about Liverpool. Pay attention to the singer because he was singing and playing his guitar when we visited the Cavern.
