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.
I don't know now, but it used to be like this. There was nothing like mummy to take care of you. What do you think? Is it still the same?

And it seems to be the same in the animal world. Have a look at this mummy sea otter...

Twenty years ago the Rules reservoir (or dam) was built and we are still waiting for the water canalizations to be done and the hydroelectric exploitation bidding process is still to be started. It is just amazing with all the droughts we have gone through in the region and the electric bill crisis.
How will it be done and how long will it take them? We still don't know, but perhaps we'd better look for a Roman engineer to do it! They were such incredible problem-solvers!!
Here you've got several documents for you to analise so as to see how The Roman Aqueductsworked.
We've been waiting for so long and at last it seems politicians have agreed to make a move, or is it just a 'fake' move because of the coming elections.
Hats off!! It is not Charles III, it is our great Carlos Álcaraz making history and winning again, defeating the incredible lucky loser Jan-Lennard Struff!!
Let's learn a phrase of how to impress people in The English We Speak: Hats off (BBC Learning English)
