Hi again, my dear students
Probably some of you still remember one of the questions in the activity we are doing with Cherrelle, our American assistant teacher, these days. The question is, "Do you admire anybody? Who do you admire?".
Both Cherrelle and I were really surprised when we saw that most students didn't admire anybody, perhaps because we admire not only one, but different people. It is true that some of you answered the question: one of you admired her strong mother and another her intelligent father. One student also admired Rafael Nadal for his personality, he said. These were really interesting contributions.
In my opinion, it is good to look up to (=admire) people who are really worth it for their work, effort and good values. In my case, many of the students that have known me for many years already know that Nelson Mandela's life is an example of honesty that I have always admired.
Today, I'll also tell you about a lady from Burma who has been in the news recently and who is worth knowing about. Her 
name is Aung San Suu Kyi. She has been kept in prison and under home arrest for many years just for defending democracy and peace in her country. If you want to know a little bit more about her, you can read the information on this link. You'll find more things on Wikipedia, of course.
