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.

  1. O my god, October came so fast, we need to change all the summer clothe to de winter one, the time pass too quickly and we don't take care, but in true I was wishing to have cold time, I don`t soport the hot weather. I don't like too much The October Song, it's a bit boring and doesn't have rhythm, it`s the type of music that I will heard when i'm bored and I don't have what to do.
    This morning I saw on TV, that Donald Trump has been positive in coronavirus test, I'm not surprised, that men doesn't take care of anything, it goes with out mask all the time and we doesn't thing in any moment in the situation that we are, I think that he is going to be well, because he has the enough money to be in one of the best hospitals of the world, I wish he put better but I thing that this situation will help he to take more care the next time.

  4. October has come very fast. I don't like autumn because it starts to get cold and I prefer high temperatures. This month's song I think is very bad and boring. Since the coronavirus began, Donald Trump hasn't used the mask until now and has never given good advice on this topic. I think it was good that he caught COVID, so he will be more careful.

  5. In my opinion, October is a good month since autumn comes in and in November it is my birthday on the song it seems boring to me since the rhythm is very slow and that bores me but on the covid the subject is a bit boring since I return to the Boring summer and classes make them heavier. People like Donald Trump seem awful to me as a person he should behave like President, which is by keeping the safety distance and putting on the mask.

  6. October is a good month because fall begins. It is neither hot nor cold. Christmas is coming. I like October because the last day of this month is hallowen Fall is one of my favorite seasons. I love to see how the leaves of the trees change in heat and some of them fall. I like October because it is the month of the pilgrimage although this year there has not been because of the covid 19. I am looking forward to going next year. I also like this month as the time change occurs and I can sleep one more hour. TO HIM MARTINEZ PADILLA 2A

  7. October is one of my favorite months because the landscapes are very beautiful because of the arrival of autumn which is one of my favorite seasons along with summer. Hallowen will not be able to celebrate due to covid-19, hopefully by next year there will be the cure to be able to celebrate events such as Hallowen or Christmas with the family.

  8. October has just started and for me this summer has been really quickly. I don't like too much the summer for the hot temperatures, I prefer the cold temperatures. But this summer has been also so rare, for the COVID.
    About the October Song, i don't like this kind of songs but it's not so bad.
    I hate the virus but I hate more the people like Donald Trump, he is pretty ignorant. He is the president of United States and for this reason He should perform like the president of United States and put on the mask. Also he should stop doing meetings because I don't know if he know it but we all are in a global pandemic.
    Luckily in a month are the elections and it's probably that he lose.

  9. A few days ago June was starting and today is 4th October. Time goes so fast. I like October because we start to wear winter clothes.
    The coronavirus is a very dangerous virus that can infect all people. It's the same if you are a famous people or not.
    In many occasions we had seen that Donald Trump didn 't comply with the security rules putting the people in danger, he said that if you drink bleach, the coronavirus would disappear. He even said that the Coronavirus didn´t exist and that it was a conspiration to stop and destroy his campaign.
    In the beaches, mountains, oceans and all parts in the world there is a lot of rubbish, plastic and waste thrown in all places. When I go to the street, there are many times that i find waste thrown away on the floor and near it there is an empty bin. I think that it is so easy to go towards a plastic free world but with the help of all people, because it is something that if all people don´t do, it is impossible to change.

  13. October is the month to be scared. I don’t like this month because it scares me and I hate scary things . In other years I used to go outside with my friends but this year I can’t go outside for two reasons :
    The first reason is for me it is boring doing the same every year..
    The second reason is Corona virus and we are not allowed to go out .
    But I comfortable with the situation because this year I don’t need go outside of my house so i will not be scared.

  14. October is such a great month! Autumn is coming and with it the rain, Halloween, cold and chestnuts! I love this time of year, even though I prefer heat to cold, but I also like this climate because it isn´t cold at all and some days you can wear summer clothes instead of winter ones.
    However October is also a hard month for the students. The exams are already here! You have to study a lot, do homework and spend a lot of time studying, but if you organize yourself well, you will always have time to watch a movie with a blanket and popcorn while you are listening to the rain.

    If I could travel in October, it would probably be to New England. I love the brown and orange colour of the trees. It seems to be a beautiful scenery that is worth seeing in person. I wish I could travel one day to see it. Going for a walk around there must be so relaxing! In fact, autumn clothes seem the most beautiful to me; jackets, fine sweaters, jeans, blazers, scarves...

    About the latest news about COVID-19 pandemic and President Donald Trump ... I think it´s totally understandable and it is not unexpected that the president of the USA ended up passing the virus. He didn´t use to wear a facemask and even laughed at the citizens who did. He said that if you drank bleach the virus would go away, and he also minimized the dangers of COVID-19 during the quarantine.
    Although I already expect everything from Trump… The elections for the president of the United States are near, and the results of the polls for him are terrible. Did Trump make up his illness and that of his wife Melania just to divert people's attention?
    It is scary how such an idiot man like Donald Trump is at the command of a country as powerful and important as the United States. I hope that in these elections a more coherent and sensible result is obtained than in the past ones 4 years ago.

  15. One of my favorite seasons is autumn, for its warm colors and its orange and brown tones. In autumn it starts to get cold and my favorite season of the year is winter, because I love the cold. The season of the year that I hate the most is summer, it's very hot and I can't stand it. The only thing I like about summer is vacations, because I'm with my cousin from Madrid.

  16. Time goes so fast, it's already autumn.
    October is one of my favorite months because it's cold in the morning, you have to save your summer clothes and I like that a lot.

    When I saw that Donald Trump had caught the coronavirus, it was to be expected because he didn't wear the mask and he hasn´t respected the safety regulations to avoid the covid, he seems to me to be a very ignorant and disrespectful person and more being the president of one of the countries with the most infections due to coronavirus.

  17. Summer is over and October is here.

    October is not one of my favorite months but it is not the one I like the least, October has many good things because you start to compete in sports and you start putting on winter clothes and it is colder at night.

    Because of what happened in the US with Donald Trump, I just think that he had to set a better example and respect all the safety regulations like all citizens because because of him for not wearing the mask there are many people who do not know it. he wants to put on only because they see that he is not wearing a mask.

  18. In my opinion, the summer has passed very fast, My favorite season is summer because I can go to the beach and the swimming pool with my friends. This summer has been rare for the coronavirus.

    October has gone very fast. Autumn is one of the best season of the year because it is neither cold nor hot.
    I don’t like the October song because is very boring.

    I think that Donald trump was positive in coronavirus because he never worn the mask ok the street. I hope so that he gets well but this has taught him how important it is to wear mask.

  20. The plastic is very bad because it kills fish, birds and other animals. The plastic kills more than tigers because the tigers hunt for eating and feeding their families, but the plastic doesn't kill for feeding. The plastic also kills people. There aren't enough plastic for all. The businessman win money with the platic.

  21. October started and we have almost finished a year that we have been very strange because of this covid-19 pandemic. Summer for me has been a walk, it has passed me super fast and above all the least I have liked has been having to go out a little on the street due to the coronavirus.

    I don't like the song at all, I hate it. But what I detest the most is people as innovative as Donald Trump, in my opinion being the president of the United States being the greatest power in the world at the moment he is not acting correctly or knowing how to lead this oandemic and less giving The example that he is giving by not putting on the mask, this from my point of view seems to me a lack of respect to all the citizens of the world because he believes that because he is the president of the United States he is the best and all he is going to take his side and he is going to be wrong.

  22. October come again, but it come different. The last October, we can go to restaurants, swimming pool, sport centres, parks... This October it isn't colder than the last October and for that there isn't less snow than last year. In those days of last year, we was go to shopping centre, we are buying when we saw Lola Índigo. We were waiting two hours for take a selfie, more later a few minutes it was night and we went to exit, but we late arrive because there were many people.

  23. The moth of October is a cold moth because is neer the winter, but also is neer the Christmas and neer the wizards kings in December and January. For my October is less good than December, because October is the most dull. The trees move the leaf. In October finish the summer, start the Autumn. The Autumn is a month good or bad for the much people.

  25. autumn is a time I do´t like, it's nice but I do'nt like it, I don't like it because they change the time, because the leaves of the trees fall off, because it's when school starts and it's a time when it doesn't rain a lot.
