Video: Flipping the classroom

FLIPPING THE CLASSROOM

Let`s begin with the video that I have just seen.

Firstly, it talks about the problems of doing a class with the traditional method, in other words, the teacher explaining the lesson while the students are writing or listening. With this new system, flipping the classroom, the teacher share a video with the content of the next class. Therefore, students can access to it, usually at home, and then, in the next class, they practice it. So they spent more time in the classroom asking the teacher the problems they have and he resolves it.

I think this is a very good idea, because let the student put more attention on the lesson that is studying and have more interaction with the teacher, because he will help you  with the problems you have. Maybe in the future, classes will be like this!

Sometimes it is better not to tell the truth

SOMETIMES IT IS BETTER NOT TO TELL THE TRUTH

Many people think that, sometimes it is better not to tell the truth, although sometimes your friends get annoyed because you tell a lie or a white lie. I think that on the whole, it is better to tell the truth.

First of all, if you don’t tell the truth, the other person will think that you aren’t a good friend. For example, if your best friend buys a dress and you don’t like it, it’s better not to tell the truth because it’s your personal opinion and there are different tastes.

Secondly, special dates and events such as “the invisible friend”, “the three wise men day”, etc... It’s better not to tell the truth because you will spoil the happiness of the children. If you have children at home it’s impossible to tell the truth.

As I see it, there are different situations and it is difficult not to (always to) tell the truth. In my point of view, it is better to try and tell the truth. However, in the world there are a lot of people who don’t tell the truth but they have a lot of friends and they are successful. I think this is unfair.
