Hi: My name is María and I´m from Spain. I have worked as a science teacher for 19 years and I love my job.Teaching gives me an opportunity to learn everyday because my students demand that I update my knowledge. With regard to my interests I 'm a bit of a foodie because I love cooking and find out new ingredients and recipies. Besides,I love playing outdoor activities especially riding my bicycle or having a family-friendly picnic in a park. I have the C1 Enslish level certified, but I would like to improve my skills as much as I can because I love this language. María

    Besides that I agree to the four answers you have told us, Amira, I would like to add some more.

    Firstly, life has taught me that it could be very brief or very long, and in the moment you less hope can surprise you in a positive or in a negative way. So that, we should be conscious about our own vulnerability and try to accept the two possibilities in life in order to live a more balanced life.  

    And secondly, we should be humble related to our own knowledge, I mean, it´s impossible to know everything in the world. If we accept that we are not the best in nothing, we will start to learn.

    Thank you for your deep question.

    Hi:

    For me, Sometimes I use a dictionary with pictures. I choose a topic and focus on it for one week, for example. Then, I write the names of some difficult words that I find on a post it and glue them at home (on the frigde in the kitchen, on the mirror in the bathroom, etc....) You can also collocate them using different topics for each room if you want. It´s something easy and useful.

    Hello:

    Showing the difference between some things?I don´t agree. You can teach you the difference between a triangle and a square for example. The teacher can draw it on the blackboard and describe its sides or contrary to this expositive  methodology, he or she can apply something more participative to his or her pupils: give the two shapes to them and make them to experience in different ways, comparing them trying to identify its diferences with more materials or something like that.I mean, to my mind one of the most important talent to teach it´s MOTIVATION (be crative) to your pupils.In addition to this good communications skills are required too .

    What do you think?

    Un ejercicio de traducción enfocado al uso del Subjuntivo

    a)
    1. Hablaba conmigo como si nos conociesemos de toda la vida, aunque sólo se nos habían acabado de presentar.
    2. El tiempo pasaba, pero yo todavía no podía encontrar un pretexto para volver a verle, aunque sabía que nuestro encuentro le sería agradable.
    3. Se negaron a ayudarte no porque no quisieran, sino porque no aprueban tus intenciones.
    4. El hecho de que te haya gustado la paella no significa que la vaya a cocinar todos los días.
    5. Es una pena que no te hayas dirigido a mí cuando habías acabado  tenías en una situación complicada. Es que no somos extraños, yo hubiese intentado ayudarte.
    6. Digan lo que digan, debes rechazar hasta esa o una (depende de si es una concreta o es en general)propuesta dudosa, aunque si más tarde te arrepientas.
    7. Te pido no contarle le cuentes eso, no sea que se ofenda.
    8. En este momento no le puedo decir nada en concreto, sería mejor si usted se pasase en el  a final del mes. Quizás, ya habré recibido la información necesaria.
    9. El hecho de que hayas gastado tantos años en los estudios no significa que enseguida puedes  puedas encontrar un trabajo interesante donde te pagarían bien.


    b)

    1. Si usted nos visitaría  visitara mañana por la tarde, le invitaríamos a un verdadero café colombiano que nuestro sobrino acaba de traer desde la América Latina. - Le agradezco la invitación, pero me temo que no voy a poder venir – ahora tengo tanto por hacer.
    2. No logro a entender porque ella se mantiene tan distante, habla con monosílabos y me saluda de una manera tan fría, como si estuviese enfadada conmigo por algo. ¿Puede que se haya ofendido porque no le haya felicitado con que haya terminado la carrera?
    3. Mariano Robles simpatizo con Alberto Ríos, fue contento por tener a un recluso así: solvente, generoso y emprendedor. Lamentaba qué sólo le habían condenado a dos años. A no ser por Alberto, Mariano no hubiese podido organizar una cena tan esplendida.
    4. Su enfermedad es curable, y espero que le podamos ayudar, pero usted necesita estar preparado a  para un tratamiento largo y a un régimen estricto. No le recomiendo ir de vacaciones a la costa sur: no vaya ser que las luces del sol le perjudiquen.
