I have written 7 seven posts so far, corrected more than a hundred comments during these days, responded and sent hundreds of emails, sent hundreds of messages through PASEN...
NOT MORE THAN 20% OF MY STUDENTS HAVE LISTENED TO ME:
Just 5 students of 4º ESO have sent me the dictation mistakes, no student in 1º ESO or 1º Bachillerato has done it so far!!!!
Not more than 20 writing exercises have been sent to me
As well, our politicians, Donald Trump, Boris Johnson and many others wouldn't listen to the warnings and now facts are just overwhelming!

listening means "paying attention or applying the ear to hear". Therefore, the action of listening is voluntary and implication on the part of the subject, a difference in hearing, which simply means "perceiving by the ear [a sound] or what [someone] says".

I usually go to school every morning, but now no because of the coronavirus, I am staying at home working with my computer, I am exhauted, because the teachers sent us a lot of work and I stay all day doing homework, except a litle moment in the night that I advantage to stay with my family, play with my brother to the videogames, and football table, or I advantage to see my favourite series.
ResponderEliminarI usually then of arrive to the school, have lunch, and do my homework and study, I go to training the athleticism, this is the best moment of the day to me, because here during a training I can relax and take my mind off the day to day, but now I can do this I any can do the homework that my teachers sent to me for this quarantine.
I would like that this quarantine finish the most earlier possible, because I want to recupere my real life and I want to go training now.
I think that this a very bad situation, but we must to keep good, and learn to cope with this situation.

ResponderEliminarI normally have fun playing soccer on the street, but these days we can not go out, because there is a new virus in the world, which is dangerous, and my daily routines have changed, in the morning I study and I do homework before I went to school, and in the afternoon I play on the playstation or I play with my brothers.
I want this to end.
I AM CARLOS1 ESO A
The days are very different a few weeks ago before I went to school and saw my friends. Now the days are eternal for me without being able to go out on the street and play with my friends. I spend all day doing homework, watching TV and playing with my sister.

ResponderEliminarI usually go to school from monday to fryday, I started the classes at quarter past eight in the morning, I have a rest of a half of hour, and finished the day at quarter to three. When I arrive at home, I eat, do my homework, study and go to all my classes in the afternoon. Monday, Wednesday, and fryday y go to my class of karate and the rest of the days of the week I go to the gym.
Nowadays my life have changed a lot. Now I get up at 6 o'clock in the morning, I go whith my mom and my dad to work. And when I arrive at home do all my homework from school.
In my opinion I hope my life doesn't change more.

ResponderEliminarListening is very important in our lives.
ResponderEliminarIt is very important to remain silent when a person speaks to you, and especially if he is older. We have to have respect for each other and listen to them. They have already gone through what we are going through now, and they know more things and we must listen to what they tell us and listen to them.
Teachers always want us to prosper and that in the future we can go to the university we want and have the work we want and that is why we have to listen to them.They are like our parents, who take care of us and want the best for us.
Quarantine is very hard and it affects us all. It is very difficult to be locked down for so many days and without being able to go out or be with your friends. Before, I didn't like going to high school because I had to get up early, but now, I miss high school, being with my classmates, talking and laughing in class and teacher getting mad at us and scolding us, eating on the sly, leaving the school, class and taking walks to waste time, etc.I hope to see my colleagues and friends soon and have fun as long as we can.
Before quarantine I had a very entertaining routine, I was always doing things like going to school, going out with my friends, we went on excursions ...
ResponderEliminarBut with the coronavirus I do nothing, just do homework, eat, rest and do homework again, it is a bit boring but we will return to normal
