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.

NEVER will I ghost my students!


Let's see first why I have used this bizarre inversion for my post.   >>>


English in a Minute: INVERSION to emphasize   (BBC Learning English)

 

and then we will have a look at the slang word 'ghost' (to ghost s.o). By the way, do you know any politician who is ghosting another one?

The English We Speak: ghosting   (BBC Learning English)

 

And talking about ghosts, here are some videos to watch about Halloween:

  • Halloween History | National Geographic

 

 

What do you do on Halloween? What do you know about it?

YORK 03: Dick Turpin and ghosts, other menaces for our vikings!

Here we are on our fourth day in York. The weather is still dry, but we have had a frost during the night, so in the early morning it was a bit colder. Anyway, we are still very lucky with the weather.


No problems have been reported so far! So again our vikings are having a nice positive experience.
Today we have long day as we have classes in the morning, the visit to York Castle museum in the afternoon and the ghost walk in the evening.


Visit to the York Castle Museum  >>>





Do you know who Dick Turpin was? Who invented the vaccuum cleaner?





Here's an episode from a famous TV series   >>  Dick Turpin - Swiftnick (1979)





and later in the evening we will be having another scary experience, the ghost walk?
