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.

Let's get it on!!


 

Let's get it on! We can do it, but we've got to be resilient and be strong enough to do our best.



My musical hint for these final school days: Marvin Gaye - "Let's Get It On"  and here's a version with the lyrics for you to sing along:



 

In the level of 4º ESO we came across The Giant's Causeway and its legend. Here's a video to learn about it:

  1. We are almost finishing the school, it's starting smelling like summer when I go out, I am looking forward to finishing these two weeks of exams, we need the last push to have good marks these year. It has been a different year with all of the Covid-19, but we are nearly ending this tragic stage.

    In the last days of english class, we have been looking about The Giant Causeway and the legend, it was very interesting and I dream of being able to visit it one day. His legends are very entertaining, but my favorite one is when the giant dress up of baby, it was too funny. I like too much The Giant Causeway.

    I have hear the song that you have put on the entry, I haven`t listened to the songs you put on the blog for a long time because I didn't like de last one, so I decide to listen to these one, I is better than the last one but I'm sorry to tell you that I didn't liked either.

  2. All we are tired at the finish of this course. The students have been very bad, do you know to do a exam with a mask? I learn it in September, it was very exciting, but the next exams are more difficult. I don't like the exam with mask, because it's difficult do it without mask, you should imagine with mask!

    What a beautiful mask! Only we must hope some months. The next course ISN'T GOING TO BE DIFFERENT, only it is going to change the number of students in a class, with mask!!! This is changing the students behaviour and the mask is dangerous, be careful with the decisions, we must think it twice. The school is finishing, all we want to play the at Play Station in the summer, but we must continue.

  3. This school year is ending and that means summer is coming.
    Now it's starting to get hot and I want to go to the beach and have fun, but there are still some last weeks that are the most difficult because we have all the final exams and we can't relax.

    I had never known of the existence of The Giant’s Causeway until the other day that in an english class we did several exercises about it.
    We also learned some legends and they are quite entertaining and hilarious.

    Whenever I go to this blog a song starts playing, I always try to listen to the whole song. I don't particularly dislike this song but it’s not the kind of music I listen to either.

  4. This course is ending and we are getting closer to summer. These last weeks are being the hardest and every time we have more exams. We have to study hard to try to pass all the subjects.

    The days are getting longer and hotter and it is very angry that we go to the beach one day but that we still have to go to high school.

    We have to give all our energy and be patient, because in the end we are all going to finish well and have a fantastic summer.

  6. There is little time left to finish the course and the summer is coming and it is noticeable but that is no reason to slack off, now is the time to make the most effort and have a quiet holiday.

    I think that the road of the giants is very interesting because I love to travel and I would like to see that place, also the legends are interesting but for my taste there are some very childish.

    I have been listening to the song and the truth is that this type of music doesn't call me much attention.

  7. This course is ending and summer is approaching. The days are getting hotter and longer
    These last weeks we have many very important exams for us and we must study hard to be able to pass all the subjects, and have a quiet vacation.

    I had never heard about the legend of The Giant Causeway, but I found it interesting and I would like to travel to that place.

    Whenever I enter this blog there are songs that I listen to until the end, because sometimes I like to listen to other types of music.

  8. The covid-19 is coming to its end just like the scohool and finally finish a very tough cours for masks and potocols.

    The last lessons of English we were seeing the legend of The Giant Causeway, with his interesting legend and I love when the legend said that the two giants threw stones at each other until they formed the path that today it.

    The songs of your blog do no like me because I prefer and I would like most Spanish song although many of the ones that you put here on your blog are very well known.

    1. I really want to finish my classes and go to the beach, there are in the last weeks that are the most difficult because we have all the final exams.

      I had never heard of The Giant Causeway until one day we saw it in English class, I found it interesting and I would like to travel there.

      I don't usually like the songs on this blog, but I liked this song.

  13. We are all tired, but we only have the last effort left, we have suffered a lot this year, so now in the last month we cannot give up. We have suffered thinking about an exam, not being able to sleep, nerves and many other things. So now we have to work hard because there is very little left until the last quarter is over and the holidays are just around the corner.

    In conclusion, we are going to enjoy what little we have left of the course with our classmates, because who knows what will happen next year.

  14. What do you know about the Giant’s Causeway? To begin with, it is one of the most inspiring natural wonders in the word. It is known around the world. It has around 40,000 basalt columns. Besides, there are too many myths and legends about it, but which is true or false?

    Firstly, a legend says that in Northern Ireland lived a giant called Finn McCool. Another giant that was in Scotland called Benandonner, threatened Ireland. Thus, Finn broke some pieces of the Antrim coastline and hurling them into the sea. He made a path to reach Benandonner. Then, Finn realized that the other was bigger than him. Consequently, he returned home and disguised him as a baby. Benandonner though that Finn’s father would be taller than himself and he ran.

    Nonetheless, there is a scientific explanation that is usually less interesting. According to this, the Giant’s Causeway was formed over sixty million years ago. It was created following a period of volcanic activity, where the lava cooled and formed these incredible basalt columns. In fact, every column in almost perfectly hexagonal.

    Summing up, it is undeniable that it is a great natural wonder. Nature makes incredible things that we are not able to do. Giant’s Causeway has caught my attention since the moment that my teacher told me about it. I hope to visit it one day! It would be an incredible experience.

  15. There are lot of places that we can visit in the world, but one of the most beautiful and incredible is the Giant’s Causeway. This curious place is in Northern Ireland and it’s emblematic. It’s unique with many rocks which are enormous.

    The legend is about a giant who built this causeway to arrive to Scotland, but at the end he decided to stop because there was other bigger giant in Scotland. Scientists say that this causeway was created by volcanic activity.

    It would be incredible to do a tour in this place and see the huge rocks in person.
