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.

  3. At Christmas parents tell children that they should be good children, because if they aren't good, they won't have any presents from Santa or the Three Wise Men.
    Santa is a fat man and a long beard, he lives in the North Pole and he hands out presents on a sleigh with reindeers. There are millions of elves that help him and that make all the presents. He has a list with the names of the good children and the naughty children.
    The Three Wise Men are three men: one of them is dark-skinned, another one is blonde and finally another one with white hair. Their names are Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar. They deliver the presents on camels from Orient, and I think that they don´t have any helpers

  7. It is said that if children misbehave, Santa Claus won't come to their houses and won't bring them any presents. They won't place any presents under their Christmas tree and they won't come into your house through the chimney. Santa Claus lives in the North Pole with elves that help him prepare and carry the presents for us. The origin of this legend is Scandinavian. As well, there are other legends that say almost the same, but with different characters and stories. In Spain we have The Three Wise Men, who went to Bethlehem to give a child called Jesus some presents and since then, children who behave well have received presents every Christmas in their houses under their Christmas tree.
