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.

The fastest cyclist ever (QUARANTINE: DAY 37)

Once upon a time, long time ago, I had the privilege of watching the fastest and best cyclist ever and he was Spanish. He won 5 consecutive Tours de France and many other races, apart from getting the gold medal in the Olympic Games and breaking the one-hour world record cycling!!! He was Miguel Indurain.

Solutions to yesterday's COMPARATIVES exercises:

older , dirtier , brighter/lighter , more interesting , colder , sadder , more difficult , bigger , more expensive

bigger , more beautiful , better , worse , more difficult

It is more boring with the quarantine now than when we were at school.
It is harder to learn now than before.
I am not happier now than during our school days.

And now watch these two videos about the COMPARATIVES & the SUPERLATIVES (The Grammar Gameshow).

  1. Miguel Indurain, one of the best cyclists that Spain and the world have had.

    The titles speak for themselves, this man has practically won everything, my grandfather and my father told me a lot about this man, because he is a very tall man, which means that his legs were very long, so each pedal stroke that It gave as he already took a large piece from you, the best thing about this man is that he was sitting all the time, while his rivals had to get up to be able to catch him and get next to him and follow his rhythm.

    For me this man is the best cyclist that Spain has. My grandfather told me once that in the Spanish Cycling Tour, in one of the stages, he had a very tough rival, an Italian who was competing against him, but Miguel started hitting the pedals and left and no one caught him and won the stage.

    This man has done a lot for Spain, that is why he is one of the best cyclists this country has.

  2. Riding a bike is a beneficial means of transport not only for people but also for the environment because it does not pollute.
    Riding a bike has many advantages:
    -Saves you time and it’s easier to get to places faster.
    -It does not pollute.
    -It has many health benefits, for example it strengthens the heart, it is good for circulation and breathing. It also strengthens the legs, reduces cellulite...
    -It is a cheap means of transport.
    -Reduces stress.
    It also has disadvantages:
    -There is little security.
    -On rainy days you can't ride a bike.
    From my point of view riding a bicycle is very good for health. I really like riding bike in my spare time and on weekends I go out on the road with my friends.
