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.

Nature, a menace for nature itself???

 

Could nature really be a menace for nature?

News Review: Nature destroying nature  (BBC Learning English)

 


Earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, vulcano eruptions... and even animals can be a menace for nature itself. It is then time for humans to find remedies and solutions.


 


   

Listen to this song by Bob Dylan about a boxer, but which is connected with menacing nature: Hurricane . You can have a look at the lyrics in English & Spanish to try to understand it better.

 






Here are some activities for you to do:

  2. Yesterday I brought many school items. Some are, for example, a compass and a calculator for math, a globe for history and also a dictionary for English. But we didn't have math because the teacher didn't come.

    Dear Alberto,
    Last summer, I played a lot of sports. And I always played videogames in my phone and on my computer. I love games!

    This year, I have new subjects and I have also got new partners, but I hardly ever speak with them.

    I live in Molvizar and I like living there because it has got a square, a big town hall and a lot of plants.

  10. THE WORST TSUNAMI OF HISTORY:
    The tsunami of the Indian Ocean was the worst tsunami of history. This disaster occurred in 2004, in Indonesia at 8:17 -8:27. The waves of tsunami had a height of 30 metres when they hit the coast and killed 170,000 people and destroyed a lot of buildings. This caused a terrible impact on the population because of the high number of deaths and injured people, apart from all the other damages in buildings and complete destruction.

    Heat waves have been the natural disaster with the greatest weight in terms of losses of human lives since 1995 in Spain, followed by floods, and both phenomena have a very close direct relationship with global warming. However, this is not the worst but the worst natural disaster was Cyclone Bhola, wich was the was deadliest natural disaster in Bangladesh in November 1970, was the disaster in the world between 1950 and 2022 with a total 300,000 fatalities.

  13. At the moment the weather is crazy, there are a lot of tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, volcano eruptions...
    You should be alert to the news and newspaper to learn about the weather.
    Last week it rained and I hadn't brought an umbrella to school and my mother told me ''let's go and buy one'' and i answered ''Great, I need an umbrella for the high school''
    In USA there are a lot hurricanes, for people it is normal, they don't go to work or school, the wind destroys houses and the trees fall, the sea has huge waves... This is normal in America, but in Spain it doesn't normally happen. In Spain the weather is sunny and warm, in the north the weather is colder and rainier and in the south the weather is warmer and there is drought.

  14. 1985 EARTHQUAKE IN THE MEMORY OF A COUNTRY:
    At 7:17 in the morning of September 19, 1985, an earthquake measuring 8.1 on the Richter scale struck central, southern and western Mexico.
    The epicenter took place in the Pacific Ocean, near the mouth of the Balsas River, on the coast of Michoacan.


    Mexico City was home to more than 10 million inhabitants according to the third report.
    This large population, gathered in 1,485 square kilometers, heightened the impact of the tragedy.

  15. The weather is currently erratic with tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, and volcano eruptions. Staying updated on the news is advised. In the U.S., hurricanes are common and disrupt daily life, but in Spain, the weather is generally stable with regional variations. Last week, forgetting an umbrella prompted a decision to buy one for high school. The differences in weather experiences between the U.S. and Spain are highlighted, emphasizing the need for preparedness in regions prone to extreme events.

  16. The 1985 earthquake in Mexico, measuring 8.1 on the Richter scale, struck central, southern, and western regions, with its epicenter in the Pacific Ocean near the Balsas River in Michoacan. Mexico City, housing over 10 million people in 1,485 square kilometers, experienced intensified impact due to its dense population. The earthquake left a lasting mark on the city and prompted nationwide reflection on disaster preparedness and urban planning. The memory of the 1985 earthquake serves as a reminder of the need for ongoing efforts to mitigate the impact of seismic events and enhance overall safety.

  17. Nature is one of the most important parts of the earth, but for years it has been a threat to the world. Ecosystems are changing due to global warming, and this is a big problem. There are forests that are burning and there is less and less water to put them out. There are many more problems that are happening and we don't realize it. There are things that we can remedy by taking consequences so that this is reduced.

  22. Nature was and will be a threat to itself, it has caused a big destruction and some parts of our Earth have been more affected than others. The destruction has been so big that it even caused the deaths of innocent people. The rains flooded cities and the earthquakes destroyed entire houses.

  24. I think nature is very dangerous for example with the vulcano eruptions and even animals. Tsunamis are more dangerous than vulcanoes. I think the rain flooded the cities and the earthquakes destroyed entire houses.
