Are you bored of rinse, repeat? You cannot be, you don't even have the chance of thinking about that because it is the most important time of the school year and every single effort matters!!
It is true that the good weather, spring, the beach, the coming summer... don't help, but we all have to try to do our best.
What does 'rinse' mean? What does it remind you of? Have a look at your washing machine and you'll discover it.

Here's my musical hint for today: All Comers by Mark Knopfler. Here you can read the lyrics to learn what the song is about.
Repeating the school year is not worth it, you lose years of your life and time that you can take advantage of the time doing other things so that later you do not come out with any degree, it is worth studying to get the ESO and then you do what you want, for example I want to study economics so that later I have a stable job and start investing in the stock market

This year I have done well in general in all subjects at school, but still that the last quarter is the most important of the year. I plan to try hard these last few months, I will have a better summer and better grades if I try hard. Also y will do many things of ingles in summer.
ResponderEliminarNext year I will be in 3rd ESO, a very important course because that year will be very different from these last two years, it will be more complicated so I will have to keep everything up to date to get good grades.
In conclusion, this last quarter I have to work hard to achieve my goals and adapt to next year.

ResponderEliminarRepeating a school year is so bad because if you want to go out the next summer, your parents won't let you. If you repeat the year, the next one you would have to do everything again and it is very boring. You will change class and friends because your friends will pass to the next nevel and you will need to make new friends in your new class so you aren't alone.
ResponderEliminarMoreover If you repeat a school year you will have to do one more year at school. Almost always, people who repeat a year don't want to be at school, so if they repeat they have to stay one more year.
To conclude repeating school year is one of the worst things you can do now because if you study a little more, you will pass to the next nevel.

The Caso Cerrado is a reality TV game show. It’s been very popular since it started in 2001.
ResponderEliminarAna María Polo tries to resolve worldly conflicts based on the laws of the United States. The show of the parties and the decision of the Doctor.
In my opinion , The Caso Cerrado is the best reality show on TV. The cases are very exciting and there is always a person with a very crazy case. It’s very emotional and unequalled program.

ResponderEliminarFor me, repeating a school year is the most silliest thing that you will do in your life because if you want to go out the next summer, your parents won't let you out. Moreover, you will have to do the same year again and it's very boring, so as well you will have to make new friends because you won't be in the same class.
Almost aways, the teenagers that don't pass to the next level are the students that they don't want to study and they want to leave the school when they are old enough. But these people don't know that don't pass the level is more boring than goiong on to the next level because you have to listen to the same things you heard the previous year again.
To motivate teenagers teachers should talk about the consequences of not going to the next level, such as not being with their friends and not being able to speak with them any more.
You'll see how they study for to meet with their friends and they will want to study for be with theirs friends in class.
To conclete, doing the same year again is the worst thing in the world.
