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.
Roger Federer's tennis career seems to have come to an end, but the legacy he leaves behind is huge and many will try to follow his steps and take after him.
Not even 10 school days, yesterday it was summer and today is autumn (or fall, as Americans say) and it seems as if we had been at school for weeks and summer days at the beach sound so far away from us, but we still find it hard to wake up early in the morning and make a move. However, we've got a bright future ahead!!!
Next Monday we will be having a meeting during the break to see if we can form a group to go to Dublin for our VIII Study trip to the British-Irish Isles.
Last May in the post If I were you, I'd... we presented a document with this proposal made by the Spanish agency for next Easter...

Yes, no matter what happens, you've made history!!! It is our super Spanish A-team!!! We have no longer Gasol brothers, Felipe Reyes, Llull, Calderón, Ricky Rubio... either because they are retired or because they are injured.
It is now the time for our old captain Rodolfo (Rudy) Fernández Hernangómez bros, Lorenzo Brown, Abel Parra, Jaime Fernández, Alberto Díaz, Darío Brizuela, Usman Garuba, Xabi López-Arostegui, Jaime Pradilla, Sebas Saiz... and many others who have played in the previous matches. A bunch of excellent workers who have managed to become a real family, an A-team, probably thanks to the great coach Sergio Scariolo. YOU'VE MADE HISTORY NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT AGAINST FRANCE!!!
They are an example to follow for our students and our country.
However, this is not a simple lucky strike. We have seen all along the summer that younger Spanish national teams both women and men have either won finals or reached them, so it is a matter of hard good work. Congratulations to all of them!!
And we did it, we made history and won the final!!!
A relentless wonderboy called Carlos Álcaraz is about to make history, although I do believe he has already made it this year!!! Tonight he will be playing against Norwegian Casper Ruud so as to win his first Grand Slam (US Open) and to become number one in the world after beating Cilic, Sinner (incredible point) and Tiafoe in 5 sets (incredible point).
And talking about dreams here's a good listening exercise for you to do: Are you following your dreams? (6 Minute English, BBC Learning English) Actually, Carlitos Álcaraz is following his and he is fulfilling them!!! What about you? Here are two other posts where you can check that dreams come true
