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.

Why the B1 at the Official Language School?



Millions of times, since you met your English teacher Albert long, long ago, you have heard him saying how important it would be for you to get your B1 at the Official Language School in Motril. Very few of you take into account granda's old story, although last year 18 of you succeeded (so perhaps times are changing!!!). Yesterday an old student of our school, who is now at university, sent me this email.



Hola! 

El primer día que vine a la facultad me acordé de usted, el profesor de química nos preguntó que cuántos de nosotros seríamos capaces de seguir una clase en inglés, y nos dijo que teníamos que entrar con un nivel B1 supuestamente. Trabajamos con una plataforma que es toda en inglés, problemas, preguntas, explicaciones y trabajos todo en inglés. Me alegro de haber seguido sus consejos y haberme sacado el B1 en bachillerato, porque ahora no tengo tiempo de nada!
¿Han introducido ya el examen oral en selectividad?  

Gracias! :)

So remember that at the beginning of April you will have the opportunity to register for the exam.
