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.

Bookshop for rent


Once upon a time there was a little Scottish town, where you could have your own bookshop for a week. Have a look at the Lingohack section!!!


The first task I propose you is to look up all the vocabulary related to the topic. So here I present you with some interesting words to look up in your dictionaries:

bookshop, library, to run a business, to run out of something, sales, promotions, stacking, stock, stock exchange market, display, to book, bookworm.

Can you give me any other words?

How I made a dream come true (The Guardian)

 What dreams do you have?




And here's another video about this amazing town:   VIDEO 

Activities for my 2º ESO students:  Can you give the location of these two towns?   

Example: Salobreña is a little village on the south coast of Spain.


Here's another similar town in Wales: Hay-on-Wye



"Beards are a 'thing' now."  Here's an expression you can learn about in The English We Speak (BBC Learning English)
