It's my favourite language in the world :))  <span style="background-color: #00e9ff; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: justify;">What's your favourite type of tea? <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">I don't really have a favourite type 'cause I'm no<span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">t such a big f an of tea :(( As you know, I'd rather have coffee :)) <span style="background-color: #00e9ff; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: justify;">Almeida, Pedro 12th F - What is your religion? <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">I was born and raised Roman Catholic and I'm still a Catholic. I believe that my religion also defines me as a person and that, as Khalil Gibran wrote, "F aith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof." <span style="background-color: #00e9ff; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: justify;">What do you think about sexual orientations? <span style="background-color: #ffff00; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: justify;">I believe we have to promote tolerance and inclusion, no matter the sexual orientation. <span style="background-color: #00e9ff; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: justify;">Gonçalo, Ana Rita - What are your favourite methods of teaching? <span style="background-color: #ffff00; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: justify;">Any teaching method should adjust the class, its learning style and the teacher. There are really no miracle solutions, simply teach the way you are. <span style="background-color: #00e9ff; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: justify;">If you had the opportunity, would you change jobs? <span style="background-color: #ffff00; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: justify;">NEVER... I became a teacher by choice and that was one of the best choices I made. As Francisco said the previous lesson, it was "my calling in life". A classroom is definitely one of the best places in the world to be and to develop as a human being. <span style="background-color: #00e9ff; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: justify;">Would you change a thing in our class? (12th F) <span style="background-color: #ffff00; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: justify;">Not really ... I simply love you all :))
