Do you like gossiping? Here's a nice expression based on the irregular verb TO SPILL (spilt, spilt; although the regular form 'spilled' is also admitted).

At the end of every school year I like taking stock of the situation and especially after such a unique experience during this pandemic, so I would like you to do the same in your comments. Tell us about your experiences during the quarantine and then give other students some advice about how to cope with it and also some hints to pass the English subject without problems.
From my point of view, there are obviously positive and negative aspects to consider after all this experience.
On the one hand, this experience has made me, as a teacher, develop all the skills I had (and even those I hadn't) at the most. I believe now I am a much better teacher with regard to the use of ITC tools (Moodle, online classes, new way to correct...). Although I'm exhausted at the moment, I am mentally stronger as I had different problems to solve and difficulties to overcome. I also had to develop all the possible techniques of encouragement so that my students could do their best. Unfortunately, the level of success has been very low.
On the other hand, this experience has made me discover the evil side of my students, like in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. I could never believe there were so many fake students. As a result, we've had fakeness everywhere: fake students, fake online classes (with ghost students connected, but who would not answer when they were asked), fake exams, fake results, fake homework handed in...
