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.
There are so many dangers and risks in life juveniles know nothing about, so they'd better listen to adults and people with more experience when they tell them about them.
For instance, food is really relevant for our brain, so a balanced diet can enhance school performance. Here's a good listening for you to do about the issue:
1. Your girl will be safe
provided you follow our instructions.
2. I'll buy a sandwich at the
school canteen when the class finishes.
3. We can go to the playground
if the History teacher doesn't come today.
4. Unless we study more, we
won't pass our English exam.
5. As long as you come home
before nine, I don't care where you go.
6. If I had a Ferrari, nobody in
Salobreña would drive faster than me.
7. If Indurain hadn't retired,
he would have probably won the Tour de France for the sixth time.
I'll finish the job provided that / if you give me £1,000. I won't finish the job unless you give me £1,000.
206. PROBABILITY. 1. may/might/could 2. must 3. can't
