WRITING:WARM-UP

Es.4

Student’s activity. Suggested answer: Finishing school is an important watershed in your life. It is the end of a period where you are sheltered and protected and guided in what you do. For most students the choice before them is between a course of further study, either at university or in professional training, or a job. There is another possibility however, taking a break for a year and trying something new. This is a gap year. Those that encourage a gap year say it brings a series of new experiences such as coping with different cultures, different countries and above all different standards of living. In addition, students abroad learn new skills and above all learn to cope on their own. It is a form of growing up. In spite of these obvious advantages, there are points against the idea. For example the cost, the risks involved and the feelings of homesickness or loneliness away from family and friends. All in all the gap year is something to consider with care, bearing in mind your own personality and abilities. It can be an enriching positive experience but must be planned and monitored efficiently.

Of course, there are the dream jobs children spend their lives wanting to be, including a waterslide tester.

Es.8

  1. Our own fear, arrogance, resistance, stress, and obsession with being right, we often end up being inflexible to our own detriment and to the frustration of those around us.
  2. Flexibility should be a conscious choice, a powerful skill, and a valuable approach to the ever-changing, always-evolving world we live in. We can be firm in our convictions, passionate about our beliefs, and clear about our intentions, and at the same time be flexible enough to make significant changes and be open to new ideas along the way.

Es.9

  1. We are, by definition, inflexible every time we get attached to something. Letting go of our attachment to something means we no longer want to control every aspect of it by forcing the action. This is a process of conscious ‘non-attachment’ (letting go), as opposed to detachment (not caring).
  2. Most of us love to be right and will do and say just about anything to avoid being wrong. When we’re willing to be wrong (not necessarily interested in or intending to be wrong), we are ready to take risks, try new things, and approach important things with a creative, innovative, and flexible perspective.
  3. Taking ourselves too seriously creates unnecessary stress, pressure, and worry. When we’re able to laugh at ourselves, keep things in perspective, and remember that most of what we deal with on a daily basis in life is not life or death - we can take ourselves less seriously and thus have a more balanced, peaceful, and creative way of relating to things.
  4. The more we’re able to tap into the natural flow of life, trust ourselves and others, and believe that things will work out - the more likely we are to allow things to roll off our backs and manifest with ease.
  5. The support and feedback of others is invaluable in so many aspects of our life and growth. We can learn from and model others who are more flexible than we are. We can also give people in our life permission to kindly warn us when we get rigid, uptight, over-attached, and start taking ourselves too seriously.

Mr Irons, told his students that last year on 22 April, hundreds of thousands of people around the world gathered to celebrate Earth Day. He also stated that thecelebration had become an opportunity to raise the awareness of threats to our planet and to learn how to protect the environment. Scientists stated that humans caused that warming because they used to burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas for their cars, houses and factories. They went on saying that it would take time to educate people about environmental problems properly. Mr Irons also told us that the Earth Day had started in 1969 when a massive oil spill in Santa Barbara had destroyed the environment and killed sea life. He also explained that in 2017, for the first time, another event had happened on the same day: the International March for Science. In London, thousands of people had marched from the Science Museum to Parliament Square to draw attention to the importance of science. There had also been big crowds in Edinburgh, Scotland, Sydney, in Australia, and Washington DC, the capital of the USA. There, the organisers of the march had declared that science had been under attack from some politicians.
