END OF SCHOOL YEAR
So this school year is over. We have been together since September, time flies and another year went by. You have had been patient enough to listen to all my explanations, to laugh at my (sometimes) bad jokes, to accept my strictness... On the other hand, I have been patient enough to tell you a thousand times how important it is for you to study, to teach you lots of grammar and vocabulary, to rush at the end of the school year in order to finish the syllabus, ... and this is all because I really care for you.
You are all different, some of you may like English, some others may not, but the truth is that everything I have taught you will be useful for you.
I hope you enjoy your university or vocational studies. I wish you all very good luck and beg you not to forget the words EFFORT AND HARD WORK. These are necessary to be successful in life, not only in your studies.
In case you need anything, I will be here for you. Students leave us every year to find their own way but we remain here to train new students.
I hope you keep me informed of your successes. And remember: try to be happy at all times, enjoy life, be kind, truthful, responsible, honest and respectful to others.
I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH.
A song by a music band I used to listen to when I was your age, I hope you like it.
I'm sad to say it's time to go
But, until we meet again along the road.
Remember this on your journey home,
When you hear the thunder roar you're not alone.
We wish you well, we wish you well,
In times of trouble may your hearts be strong.
We wish you well, we wish you well,
Until we meet again,
We wish you well...
Sad to say: We have to go
until we meet again along the road
Remember this on your journey home:
When you hear the thunder roar, you're not alone
We wish you well, we wish you well
in times of trouble may your heart be strong
we wish you well, we wish you well
until we meet again - we wish you well...

DISCUSSIONS ESSAYS (EXAMPLES OF GREAT WRITINGS BY MY STUDENTS)
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF STUDYING ABROAD BY AURORA GARCIA CANO
Many people think that studying abroad means to be alone for a long period of time, feeling homesick because you are far from your family and friends. However, it also has also lots of advantages, especially when there’s a different culture in the country where you go. We must look at both sides of the question.
On the one hand, travelling and meeting new cultures can help to open your mind. Learning a new language, getting used to new habits and meeting people are good ways to become a more mature person. What’s more, you can make lots of friends that will last for the rest of your life. Another important advantage is the fact that you will be able to know the city where you stay, including its their monuments and beautiful places.
But it is also true that at the beginning you can feel alone sometimes because you haven’t made friends yet. It can be hard to try to make friends when the people have different thoughts as yours. In addition, when the country where you go has a very different culture, it’s difficult to get used to it.
In my opinion, there are some disadvantages about studying abroad, but it can be very positive for you to improve your language skills and have more experience.
Advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad BY MARTA ARJONA
Students, when they have the opportunity, think about studying abroad. But, do they care about the disadvantages to of going to another country and leaving home? It is not an easy question, but it has some advantages and disadvantages.
Many people, when they finish their university studies, travel to another city to continue studying. It is a good way to meet boys and girls from different countries and know what their cultures are about, and contrast them with your own culture. In addition, going abroad can help us to improve a language. If you go, for example, to England you will meet people from France, Italy or even from China. What’s more, you will be taught by other teachers and you will probably like it, because it is a new way to learn.
However, studying abroad has some disadvantages. It is too expensive because you have to pay for electricity, the rent of the house where you stay, etc. Moreover, foreigners have to pay higher prices than natives. The great majority of the colleges or universities demand you to have a high level of English or any language, as well. Furthermore, you will miss your family, friends and the habits you had at home.
In conclusion, I think that studying abroad, although it has some disadvantages, can open up you new horizons and learn new ways to study and make friends.
