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.

  1. I think it's very common to feel homesickness when you travel to a foreign country, especially if you don't know the language or the customs.

    In my opinion, this is because we haven't any friends or family to talk about our day or our experiences. It's hard meet new people who speak your language and who makes you feel like at home, although actually, we have social networks that help us to communicate easily with our family.

    It's normal feeling sad and missing your home, your country, the food or just your routine, but we have to get used to our new life and do funny things which can help us to forget what makes us feel sad, for example, playing sports, listening to music or going to places where you can meet new homesickness people like you. If you know people, you'll feel less alone, and therefore, happier.

  3. Homesickness is the distress or impairment caused by an actual or anticipated separation from home. Most people will have felt homesick at some time in their lives, perhaps when they were younger, and it is easy to forget just how overwhelming it can be.

    I think this feeling is produced when a person goes to another home or to another country. This is a feeling very common in everyone, like we read in the article all the people feel this even the most famous stars twho are used to travelling feel homesickness.

    I feel homesickness sometimes like everyone when I go tto another house that isn't mine. Now, I feel this less but when I was little I felt homesick whenever I stayed away from home without my parents. I remember once when I stayed at my aunt's house. I was in bed and suddenly I wanted to return to home. I started to cry and my aunt had to take me home.
    In conclusion and in my opinion feeling homesick is very common in the people because it is a feeling that everyone has.

  4. The homesickness,

    I Think that all of us in someone time in our life we have felt homesick, either for someone who is no longer there, because you are far from that person, because you remember old moments, because you remember old friends, classmates, teachers ...

    It is a very common and very normal feeling in people.

    I've felt homesick many times, because my mother works away from home and I miss her very much.

    Also, as it is the law of life, many close people die, as we will us one day, and remembering them makes me feel homesick.

  5. Homesickness is something very common that people always experience when they leave their home and stay in a different country. This feeling of sadness and longing for one's home can make it harder to get used to the new place and to adapt.

    This emotion is triggered when you remember your home, friends, family or even food, and you have the urge to go back. It can be a very overwhelming feeling but you need to be down to earth and realize that you are living a new unique experience. Stepping out of your comfort zone is never easy but at the end it is very rewarding.

    Although going back home is always an option, you can do several things to improve your situation at the foreign country, in order to make it your new home. You can meet new people, visit interesting cities, try new things and learn about their culture, and of course you can reach your family and friends whenever you miss them.

    In conclusion, it is okay to feel homesick. When I've been abroad and it has rained a lot I've missed the Spanish weather but it didn't last long and, now I feel homesick for the other country!

  6. Homesickness is something very common that people always experience when they leave their home and stay in a different country, or when you lost one important person in your live.

    This emotion is triggered when you remember your family, friends, the person that now aren't with us, or remember some past moments. I think that felling this emotion are good for te person, because is one form that have our organism to remember somethings and that you don't lost this memories. Is one felling that can produce you sadness or happiness for the moments of the past.

    If this felling is because you are in other country far from your family, I think that in this case this felling are good, because this felling is to naturally and I think that in this situation the easiest is to return with your family, but you must hold, because this felling doesn’t last long, maybe a few days,but with the technology that we have nowdays you can see in one moments, I know that is different, but you must think in that you are living in this country, in that you can find new friends, and see some interestings places.

    In conclusion, I think that this feeling are good, but that we mustn't get carried away, especially in the cause of that you are in other country.
