The benefits of using tablets

Recently, tablets sales have increased a lot compared to other devices. The reason is that they are more fashionable and that they process information faster than a smartphone.
Tablets are bigger than smartphones, have better processing capacity, often have more memory and a better operating system. Some tablets recently  developed have the ability to connect to the internet without using wi-fi or even data. Other benefits of tablets are more obvious: they take up less space, are portable (even more so than laptops) and are preferred simply because of trends and aesthetic. It's like walking around with a laptop screen.
This, however, is often misinterpreted. Tablets may be faster than smartphones, but they're still not laptops. In order to make them extra slim, they sacrifice things like disc capacity, core space and cable ports.
In my opinion, tablets are incredible devices, even if they're used for leisure activities, but people should not confuse them with laptops because it might lead to problems when they find out their limitations.

Dedicated to our loving students


Thank you very much for sharing your virtues with us everyday, for letting us touch your life and definitely for changing ours.

Students on the way to rule

The idea of increasing student's power may be taken wrongly. But the previous idea it would have to be stated that  refers to paying more attention to what the student has to say in order to improve the way of how the educative system works.
Taking suggestions more seriously since student's opinions are not very valuable as they seem, would lead to  more focused students as a result of letting them point what should be improved. Furthermore, education is given by the system but the youth is the one who receives that way of teaching so they would have to get used to what is considered more efficient. Nevertheless, the suggestions have to be asked with a bit of common sense, and not just by convenience.
From my point of view, students recommendations are quite important as they are  the only way of knowing if the system is working properly. In fact, they are building their own future by designing student's development.
To sum up, even though it is just another opinion in the crowd and this is not going to arrive anywhere, it would be great that, despite of asking for suggestions, teachers considered to take a look on the way they give their lessons and realizing it by themselves.

Power to the students in schools

As our society keeps evolvig, so does the ducational system, and with it the question about how students could feel better, study better and above all be better.
Giving students power would allow teachers and staff to have a more direct feedback about everything that happens in their school. This also permits students to be abe to change things whenever they feel something is not  working just right.
On the other hand, teachers and staff already get paid to make sure that their students get a good education and to ensure the wellness of their students, so they shoud not need any extra power. Having students with power in their schools would propably lead to some stupid and nonsense solutions to problems once they stopped taking that power seriously.
Above all I think that students should get some power in schools but in a really controlled way to make sure that this power ends up being something positive instead of a solution that would cause more problems.

I've got the power

Nowadays secondary schools release measure after measure to improve student's education quality. These measures have a headline: to give more power to their pupils. In my opinion this is good for us, and I am going to show you why.
Frstly, every approach to students is good because it breaks school monotony and it improves student's educational experience. Also, introducing Whatsapp groups initiative make teachers more human. It is not about making a relationship with teachers, but just approaching both of them. This last year we introduced in our English class this measure and it was so useful because we could share information and coordinate our classes.
Secondly, with giving more power to students, they will know their school inside staff and it will prepare them to future big situations. Every new experience for pupils will just improve them as a person and this can just be good.
And finally, who knows if with these measures we are building future English teachers or future highschool head teachers. We must show them that being a teacher is not being angry all the time.

Do you consider important giving more power to students in schools?

People who really affect the development of the school and how it works are the students. But they are only children, not school headers.
On the one hand, students are those who are developing their brain, for in a nearly future, work in the development of this planet. For that reason, schools might help them to get them better their skills, and that is got with happiness. And at the same time, happiness is got by creating a place built, in some part, with their opinon.
On the other hand, students are children who are developing themselves, like I said before, and, for that reason, they are not able to take important decisions. It is good that students participate by giving their opinon of teachers and lessons, but important decision like to contract a teacher, must be taken by proffesional and formed people.
Definitely, the trick is that head teachers take decisions, but counting with the student's opinion.

What Your Finger Length Reveals About Your Personality


A. The Charming, Realistic Type
If your ring finger is longer than your index finger you are a charmer, and often seen as irresistible to others. You are excellent at talking your way out of trouble, and you are great at problem solving. You have aggressive tendencies, but you are full of compassion.
B. The Confident, Capable TypeIf your ring finger is shorter than your index finger you are the confident type and know how to get stuff done. You prefer to work in isolation, as you don’t like to be distracted when trying to achieve your goals. Just because you prefer to work alone doesn’t mean you are an introvert. You are highly driven and appreciative what you have, but you tend to always want more.
C. The Peaceful, Easy To Love Type
If your ring and index finger are the same size your motto is “make love, not war.” You prefer to avoid conflict and make peace wherever you go, as you strive to get along with everyone.

Why do British people drive on the left?




In the past, almost everybody travelled on the left side of the road because that was the most sensible option for feudal, violent societies. Since most people are right-handed, swordsmen preferred to keep to the left in order to have their right arm nearer to an opponent and their scabbard further from him. Moreover, it reduced the chance of the scabbard (worn on the left) hitting other people.
Furthermore, a right-handed person finds it easier to mount a horse from the left side of the horse, and it would be very difficult to do otherwise if wearing a sword (which would be worn on the left). It is safer to mount and dismount towards the side of the road, rather than in the middle of traffic, so if one mounts on the left, then the horse should be ridden on the left side of the road.

Countries where people drive on the left


  • Australia
  • Caribbean Islands*
  • Channel Islands
  • Cyprus
  • Japan
  • Hong Kong
  • India
  • Isle of Man
  • Ireland
  • Jamaica
  • Kenya
  • Malta
  • Malaysia
  • New Zealand
  • South Africa
  • Singapore
  • Thailand
  • UK
