Hi people!
I m glad to see that you are all involved with our poject!
Here it is the new task.
Hope you enjoy it!!!

2nd TASK - World Cup

Brazil play Chile today!!!


As we know, today is the big one. Brazil must win to continue in the World Cup. The team is under a lot of pressure. Some fans have been strict. Some of the players are feeling not confident or dispirited.

Imagine you are either Dunga, the coach, or Lucio, the captain.

You are in the dressing room ten minutes before going out onto the pitch.

Your exercise today is to write a speech to stir the players to victory in no more than 150 words. Make sure you use powerful words to encourage the players and give them their confidence back.

Bye for now!!!

Is it a call?

As teachers, we want to inspire our students to want to do well and to know more about the world around us. We want to continue to teach even when the going gets tough because we have the passion to want to continually add to our students' knowledge and to improve their skills so that they can go on to be lifelong learners.

Even with the stress that is part of teaching, we still have that passion to teach. We see teaching as a two-way relationship, and we enjoy students as well reaping personal reward and the satisfaction of meeting a challenge head-on.

I have been thinking if teaching is a call?

If it is a calling ,we have to answer the call.
