Yes, I told you that the way you sit in class can affect your health and the way you learn. I have told you so many things so as to learn more and better, again not because I'm incredibly smart, but because I've got the experience of so many years teaching and I have behaved like an old wise owl!
By the way, do you know the story of the old wise owl? Listen to the song (nursery rhyme) and discover:
And you can also read the story about it.

Next summer I will go to the Sahara, it will be very hot but it doesn't matter. My father is going to rent some mini quads to have fun. They are also going to take me to many restaurants and we will also go to the beach, we are going to have a lot of fun.
ResponderEliminarYes, it's true that we talked to you about this. But we just want to put ourselves in the most comfortable position, because it makes us uncomfortable to sit for a long time.
ResponderEliminarPostures for day to day is one of the most important parts of health. Standing straight on the school chairis better than cowling or lying on the table. For many peolpe know that it is tired to be always straight but it is the best for health. If you are in class lied on the table or leaning on the wall or windows you will have less concentration and it will take you much difficult to pay attention because there will be things that can distract you, however if you are looking ahead and straight you will have more concentration and less things that distract you.

Having good posture is the most important thing in our lives because then we will have a healthy life, since our bones and muscles will not hurt.
ResponderEliminarFor me, health is the most important thing since without it we would not live comfortably because we would have pain in parts of the body.

I don’t agree about the way you sit in class can affect your health because anyone keep the way you sit for many hours. I think is worse the weight of my backpack. In my opinion we should learn from laptop. This is much better for our back.
