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.

Nothing is going to stop us now!!!!


The school year is coming to an end and crucial moments are coming closer. However, it is not just in the academic domain, but also in other areas. 

 

In sport seasons are in the most important matches, the pandemic is living special moments with the vaccination of the population and the state of alarm coming to an end, climate change is again an issue that demands the attention of the whole world (especially, super powers such as US or China), justice in the US has also lived something special regarding the BLACK LIVES MATTER movement... 


 

But perhaps some have gone a bit too far >>>>

  4. We are at the end of the course and now is when we have to strive the most to finish with the best mark at the end of the course and end with a good average. For example, now we have to make comments and redactions to get the best mark. Now is the time where you have to study and give the last push.

    There are already many vaccinated in the world and every time there are many more and everything is going better and we are on the right track we have to continue like this and this will end.

    Climate change is a very serious issue that is affecting very large cities a lot because of the great pollution they have and we have to end that if we do not want to destroy the world. You have to do everything you can to contaminate as little as possible and thus improve the situation.

  5. On these dates all people we are tired about working and looking forward to finishing the school year without any failed subjects and enjoying the summer as well as possible, and for that we need to strive a little more.

    During these days are going to be finishing many things that are being passed during the whole year, because in a month, more or less, is the beginning of summer holidays.

    Yesterday the alarm state have finished too. This is the thing that all Spain we are waiting for, but i dont think is a good idea, because of that I think is going to happen something wrong because the people don't get awareness of the gravity that there is.

    We are not realizing it but the course is ending since it has been without realizing it, especially for me, the second year high school students are already reaching the end of the course to prepare with the selective and be able to get the highest possible grade.

    We all must do all the work that the teachers send us to be able to get the highest possible grade and have a high average of high school as it scores for selectivity, also not only is the course finishing but the COVID is also coming to an end Since they have eliminated the alarm state and with that the curfew is eliminated, which means that we can do many more things.

    The only thing that does not end is the pollution in the world that is one of the great problems that the entire population is suffering, we are burdening the world and we are not doing anything to avoid it.

    We should all do our part against this great problem and put a solution immediately, for example recycling, not taking the car much and thus not polluting so much and everything would be better.

  7. Now many changes are taking place as we have already seen. Some are much more important than others. We can see that the end of this school year is approaching, a year that for me has been very important and in which I have worked hard. I hope you finish this third term with all passed and with good grades, since this course is a small drop that will shape my future. But I still have one more year left for the most difficult change, which is going to be very important for my future.

    Right now one of the most expected changes is in the issue of COVID-19, since we have been with this pandemic for more than a year and every day it is difficult to see an end to all this. I hope things change and people take more care in all areas and so with everyone's effort we can see that this progresses and comes to an end.

    A change that should be one of the most important on the planet is that of pollution, since we need everyone to become aware of the planet and start changing their habits so that everything changes. At the rate we are going, I doubt very much that my grandchildren can have children, since we have a beautiful planet that we are destroying alone.

  8. We come to the end of the course and all the students want to do is finish it, since it is a very demanding and very intense course. We have to get the best grades so that we can get into the job you want to do in the future.

    We are also reaching a turning point with the pandemic, here in Spain last week the state of alarm ended, in which all Spaniards could already go to travel, see family, but always respecting the rules, not as I know. He saw in cities like Madrid or Barcelona, people celebrating the end of the state of alarm as if he had finished the pandemic.

    In sports, the world of football has been very moved because of the celebration of the Superliga, which to my opinion should have been approved, because it would have more competition and better football matches as a Barsa Vs PSG.

    And in America ever they come to light scenes of racism by the police to the black citizen. I hope that racism is over and not have to see in the news that a black citizen has been killed by a policeman.

  9. Now we are arriving at crucial moments in different subjects, for example we are arriving at the end of our school year and we must do well in all our exams and we also must do all the things that our teacher sends us to do, like works or in English we must do compositions and comments, and we need to finish all of them, to get the highest mark possible in all the subjects, because the mark that we get now it will have importance in our school records.

    There are also other things that are arriving at their end, like all the sport competitions, and they are having their most important matches of all the season like the winning of Rafa Nadal in the Barcelona Open 2021 against Tsitsipás, that was a very important match that made that Rafa Nadal win this tournament. Other things are also ending, like the state of alarm and we can now do many more things than before.

    And, as the thing is going well with the vaccination of the population, the people stop thinking all the time about the pandemic and they are also thinking about the climate change, that it is the biggest problem that we have at present. Now super powers, US, China..., are thinking more about this big problem and they are searching for a solution to this problem, but not only the super powers are thinking about this because there are other countries, like Denmark, that only use renewable energy.

    In conclusion, we are arriving at the end of a lot of things, but we still have a very big problem and that is the climate change, but I think that in the future we will have a solution to this problem, and we will be able to live peacefully without thinking in problems like this.

  10. Now we are arriving at crucial moments in different subjects, we are arriving at the end of our school year and we must do well in all our exams and we must do all the things that our teachers send us. We must get the highest mark possible in all our subjects, because the marks that we get in this school year have a big importance, because the marks of this year and the marks of next year, determinated a big part of our mark in EVAU.

    There are other things that are happening at the end, as sports competitions, and they are having their most important matches of all the season, like the tennis match of last weekend, in that Rafa Nadal won the Barcelona Open 2021 against Tsitsipas, this match was very important, because Nadal won this tounament.

    Other things, that is having importance right now is the vaccination of the population and the final of the state of alarm. Othe important thing is the climate change, that is the biggest problem that we have at present. Now super powers as EE.UU or China must think more in this problem, because these super powers are the ones that contamine and which most damage our planet. They must do as Denmark, that only use renewable energy.

    In conclusion, we are arriving at the end of a lot of things, we must continue working hard in this final term of the school year, and the most important, we must search a solution for the climate change, and continue with the vaccination of people.

  11. In just a few days, the school year is going to come to an end, and some crucial moments as final exams and certification exams are coming closer. It is not just for the academic domains but also in other areas. However, the academic one is the most important for me.

    On the one hand, I have the certification exams. In other words, I have to do an English and French exam to get the B1 certificate in both languages. I am getting more and more excited since languages are remarkably important and useful these days.

    On the other hand, I have to study hard to pass all the exams in high school. My goal is to pass without fail. Next year will be crucial so I have to be ready for it. It is why I have to do my best this year and the next one.

    In conclusion, these two weeks are the most challenging ones of the year since we have to effort and sacrifice ourselves to achieve the best results and marks possible. Like that, this summer I will be able to spend all the time sunbathing on the beach with my friends.

  12. There are two weeks left until the classes finish and for my evaluation there is a week and 3 days left.

    I am very nervous about the grades and the last tests I have taken. Most of the exams have gone very well for me and I really believe that I will get very good marks except in English.
    I really don't understand why English is so bad for me having such good grades in other subjects. I really believe that English isn't a very difficult language but I think the teacher doesn't know how to explain us so that we can understand it. I think this happens to many of us and that is why we do not get good marks in English. This doesn't mean that the teacher is bad but I think that his way of explaining himself is very confusing and most of us do not understand it. The teacher always tries to help us and score points with all kinds of exercises.

    The other subjects are going very well for me and I think we should try hard because this stage of our life is very important and everything counts.

  13. In this course I have had very good grades I think the best I have had in all the years that I have been in this institute.

    All the grades were very good but what lowers me the most is English, it is important yo say that this subject  is very difficult for me and for Many of my colleagues.

    It is not a very difficult subject but one that requires a lot of time, time that you take away from other subjects and it is very difficult to carry.

    This year I sacrificed English because it took a lot of time and I took advantage of the other subjects with which this year I had very good grades, this summer I take english class to pass this subject on September and see if next year I can handle it well with the other subjects.

  14. Nothing is going to stop us now!!!!
    After the summer holidays, we are back in another important moment. It is the return to the routine and the end of the holidays for many people. For others it is time to face the September exams. We are starting 2 bachillerato, the most important year since we started at high school because our future depends on the marks we get this year. So nothing is going to stop us now!!
