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.

"What a player!"

 

 

Jannik Sinner recognised after the match against Rafa Jódar in Madrid what a good player his opponent was. A display of fair play from the talented Italian tennis player, current ATP number 1 seeded.
 
  

In sport and many other areas of life, modesty is such an important value to compete and also to grow. You never reach the summit, there are always challenges in life and they don't have to be extraordinary. Simple goals such as having a family or carrying out everyday tasks may be as important as winning a major tournament.

  1. The history of the cheese.
    It starts with a merchant walking through the desert with a bag made of the stomach of a sheep, full of milk. Suddenly he was hungry and thirsty, so he opened the bag to drink the milk. But there wasn't milk, there were soft white clumps, and he ate them anyways,not for curiosity,it was for hunger. How did the milk changed? I'll explain it to you. As I said. The bag was made of the stomach of a sheep. The sheep was dead, but the stomach wasn't. There was a cell called rennet. It helps to the young animal to eat better the mother's milk, the cells make the milk more solid. So thanks to a mistake, we have cheese in the earth!

    The advantages of getting news from social media are the speed which you can see them and the amount of different points of view about some news. But it’s not all positive points, some are fake news so you have to be careful. Some celebrity influencers use them to get more views and likes, so from my point of view it’s better to see the news on TV.

  5. I watched so many zombie films and I like them, but in fact, I had never asked what would happend if I was in a zombie apocalypse and what would be my surviving chances.

    First I would take a backpack and all food I can. Then I would would try to go as far away from civilisation as I can of the civilization, but previously I would try to find some survivors to help me because I am not an adult yet obiously.

    If I was alone, I would prefer to be a zombie, ever if I was far from cities because I wouldn't survive so much time.

  7. How to survive in the wild

    If you are lost in the wild,stay calm and think carefully. First,look for water because the body needs water to survive. Before drinking water from a stream, boil it to make it safer. Build a shelter to protect yourself from rain or cold weather. Be careful and don't sleep inmediately. If you see a bear, don't run away because it can chase you. Stay calm and slowly move away.
