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.
The life of a student or a teacher is like that. There are no Sundays or holidays!!! We can't stop working as we have so much to learn and the chances are few, as the song says. However, this is amazing side of these two jobs: you never get bored!! Anyway, if you like your job, that will be no problem.
Perhaps now, after PM Liz Truss resigning, Britons will be saying: "I want you back" referring to EU after the Brexit episode. Here's the announcement made by the British Prime Minister, try to find a mistake in the speech:
Read the following newspaper article and you will see how they have corrected the mistake.

I also want my students to be back to the road of success having the best marks possible. Here's something to help you.
Despite of all Albert's speeches in class telling us how easy English language is, many students find it really hard to learn. As it is the case of plurals in English...
This is just because the English language has different origins (Latin, French, Germanic languages...) and, for instance, Spanish has mainly one.
Here are some activities for you to do and you'll see how easy it is.
According to experts: "Octopuses are ocean creatures that are most famous for having eight arms and bulbous heads.
Some other fun facts: They have three hearts and blue blood; they
squirt ink to deter predators; and being boneless, they can squeeze into
(or out of) tight spaces."

Actually, some of our students in 1º ESO are adapting to the new situation and they are creating their own sites and blogs as part of our digital project:
And some others adapting to a completely different country from ours in their Mobility to Istanbul....
And have you seen the 007 James Bond film Octopussy? Here's the scene called "Two of a kind" (the same or very similar. Example: "she and her sister were two of a kind" // (of cards) having the same face value, but a different suit.)
Roger Federer's tennis career seems to have come to an end, but the legacy he leaves behind is huge and many will try to follow his steps and take after him.
Not even 10 school days, yesterday it was summer and today is autumn (or fall, as Americans say) and it seems as if we had been at school for weeks and summer days at the beach sound so far away from us, but we still find it hard to wake up early in the morning and make a move. However, we've got a bright future ahead!!!
Next Monday we will be having a meeting during the break to see if we can form a group to go to Dublin for our VIII Study trip to the British-Irish Isles.
Last May in the post If I were you, I'd... we presented a document with this proposal made by the Spanish agency for next Easter...

Yes, no matter what happens, you've made history!!! It is our super Spanish A-team!!! We have no longer Gasol brothers, Felipe Reyes, Llull, Calderón, Ricky Rubio... either because they are retired or because they are injured.
It is now the time for our old captain Rodolfo (Rudy) Fernández Hernangómez bros, Lorenzo Brown, Abel Parra, Jaime Fernández, Alberto Díaz, Darío Brizuela, Usman Garuba, Xabi López-Arostegui, Jaime Pradilla, Sebas Saiz... and many others who have played in the previous matches. A bunch of excellent workers who have managed to become a real family, an A-team, probably thanks to the great coach Sergio Scariolo. YOU'VE MADE HISTORY NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT AGAINST FRANCE!!!
They are an example to follow for our students and our country.
However, this is not a simple lucky strike. We have seen all along the summer that younger Spanish national teams both women and men have either won finals or reached them, so it is a matter of hard good work. Congratulations to all of them!!
And we did it, we made history and won the final!!!
The life of a student or a teacher is like that. There are no Sundays or holidays!!! We can't stop working as we have so much to learn and the chances are few, as the song says. However, this is amazing side of these two jobs: you never get bored!! Anyway, if you like your job, that will be no problem. 
Some activities for you to do:
