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.

This weather is driving us crazy!!

 

Are we really already in autumn? I don't think so. When I see the beaches full of people swimming and sunbathing I wonder when we used to look for chestnuts in the forests and the days were getting colder and colder, greyer and greyer.

  1. We can realize the weather have changed during the different seasons in the year by looking at the temperature these days or watching people swimming in the beach. The reasonably change in the climate has been caused by ourselves, who not only pollute the air we share, but also pollute the different ecosystems where animals and other forms of life live.

    Due to these warning stats, scientifics and researchals have been investigated other ways to, for example, produce energy without pollute amounts of bad substances to the Earth.

    In my opinion, we should take care of the world and cooperate to be a better society. This is one of the hugest problems in these days and we must be aware of the consequences it could have if we don't work since now.

    Extreme weather is the consequence of the pollution of the envioronment where animals live and humans are the ones to blame for that. Nowadays, this extreme weather is affecting the ozone layer. This happens because the humans pollute the air with the factories and they out the plastic in the sea that the fishes eat it or some of them may even get trapped in the fishing nets. In my opinion, human should recycle plastic and they mustn't throw it into the sea. In conclusion, we should all look after the envioronment where animals live.

  6. The weather, in summary, it's crazy. It doesn't rain as anymore, there are always sun and the reservoirs are dry. And all this is the fault of the pollution that we produce: vehicles, factories, fossil materials and many other things produce pollutants. .For all this, the weather is so unpredictable. What I think about this is that we can all fix it together. For example: not wasting energy or water, putting solar panels in your house, recycling and reusing, etc. What I find the worry is that they will cut off our water and that we will have to go to the rivers to get water. But this will not happen because the government is putting measures in place for this problem, for example: Earth Day or World Car Free Day.
