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.

Ça a été seulement possible à Roland Garros!





A good man dies, a man with values, a man of another time, of another word, a reference for so many...

Incroyable, mais vrai! Merci beaucoup, France!



Incredible, but true! Thank you very much, France! Yes, there are some things that have only been possible at Roland Garros and in France: so far there has been no other tennis player who has won 14 Grand Slams in the same tournament and that is what Rafa Nadal did in Roland Garros.

 

In spite of some wars and conflicts in the past, the relationship between France and Spain has always been fantastic. There are so many Spaniards that migrated to France and have become French citizens, and relevant French citizens like the mayor of Paris or famous footballers like Luis Fernández. Spanish artists such as Picasso or Antonio Machado lived in France for a very long time.

  1. Hello, Sara
    Today I'm going to tell you some facts about Dwanye Jhonson.
    He first wanted to be a professional football American player. He signed with Calgary Stampeders of the CFL, but the team disappeared after a time.
    He has a record Guiness. He won it because he took 105 selfies with his fans in 3 minutes.
    Another interesting fact is that he was one of the best paid actor in the world. During 2018 and 2021 he won 87 millionsthank to films, adverts and his own brand.
    And the last fact is that he likes performing his own action scenes. He likes doing some of the most physical scenes and he has an intense job.

  3. SHORT MESSAGE:
    Hi! I've just found out about a singer-songwriter called Michael Kiwanuka. He was born in London in 1987, His parents were from Uganda in Africa. It was hard for him at first to get used to that life because he was black and everyone around him was white. Finally, he had a lot of successes in the world of music. He really enjoys all what he is doing in the world of music. What do you think of this singer? Bye!

  4. Inspired?
    Three unusual art pieces are shown. One is music that last 639 years. Another one is a woman sitting silently is a museum for 736 hours. The last one is a sculpture made of old cars and concrete. These works surprised people and made them ask, Is this art?

  5. Participate actively. Albert likes to see effort, even if you make mistakes. Don’t be afraid to speak up.

    Do your homework. It might sound obvious, but with him, homework isn’t just “filler”; it’s often the foundation for what’s coming next in class or on the test.

    Pay attention to details. He cares about grammar, yes—but also pronunciation, structure, and even your attitude.

    Ask when you don’t understand. He values curious students, not those who pretend to get it.

    Don’t translate everything literally. He wants you to think in English, not translate word-for-word from Spanish.

    With Albert, if you take it seriously, you won’t just pass… you’ll actually learn.

  6. I recently went to see a play, and it was an incredible experience! The performances were full of emotion and energy, and the actors truly brought their characters to life. The set design and lighting added so much to the atmosphere—it felt like being transported into another world. The story was thought-provoking and stayed with me long after the final curtain. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys live theatre.

  7. In my hometown, we have a few great places where people like to spend time. There's a big park where families go for picnics and kids play on the swings and slides. We also have a small but cozy café in the center of town where my friends and I like to hang out and grab coffee or snacks. There's a local library where I sometimes go to study or read quietly. On weekends, a lot of people visit the community sports center—it has a gym, a swimming pool, and even a small soccer field. It’s a peaceful town, but there’s always something nice to do.

  9. Yesterday I was very hungry after school.

    My mom was in the kitchen making dinner.

    We was happy because the food was pizza.

    The apples was not fresh, they was brown.

    My dad and my sister was at the store.

    It was cold so we was eating soup.

    The food was hot and taste good.

  10. Football

    Football is the best sport in the world. I like it becuse is very fun and active. In football, two teams play with a ball and try to score goals. Each team have eleven players.

    The game start with a kick off in the middle of the field. Players run and pass the ball with their feet, but they cant use their hands, only the goalie can use hands in the goal area.

    The game last 90 minuts, divided in two halves of 45 minuts. If the game is tie, sometimes they play extra time or go to penalty shootout.

    There are some rules, like no touching the ball with hand, no foul and offside. If someone make a foul, the other team get a free kick or penalty.

    I like football becuse is a team sport and everyone work together. Also, it help me stay healthy and strong.

    Claudia:

    I reckon 'Fast & Furious' is alright, there's loads of action and it's pretty funny. But I think I like 'Jumanji' more, he's really good in it.
