Democracy
It’s coming through a hole in the air,
from those nights in Tiananmen Square.
It’s coming from the feel
that this ain’t exactly real,
or it’s real, but it ain’t exactly there.
From the wars against disorder,
from the sirens night and day,
from the fires of the homeless,
from the ashes of the gay:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
It’s coming through a crack in the wall;
on a visionary flood of alcohol;
from the staggering account
of the Sermon on the Mount
which I don’t pretend to understand at all.
It’s coming from the silence
on the dock of the bay,
from the brave, the bold, the battered
heart of Chevrolet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

Why incompetent people think they're amazing?, by David Dunning
How good are you with money? What about reading people’s emotions? How healthy are you, compared to other people you know? Knowing how our skills stack up against others is useful in many ways. But psychological research suggests that we’re not very good at evaluating ourselves accurately. In fact, we frequently overestimate our own abilities. David Dunning describes the Dunning-Kruger effect.

ESO 1 Summer 2020 Remedial Task
Dear ESO 1 Students,
Here is your 2020 summer remedial assignment:
•You should solve the activities of the first 6 'Self Check' pages that you will find at the end of every unit of your Workbook.
•You should also complete the first two revision sections found at the end of every three units in your student's book: review A (units 1, 2, 3), review B (units 4, 5, 6).
• Besides, you should also revise the first 40 irregular verbs found on the appendix of your Student's book.
•You should also revise the Student’s Book’s activities we’ve done in class all along the year, as well as those given in photocopies.
Use an A-4 sized notebook to copy the formulation or wording of every activity and underline their key words. Then, translate that wording into Galician/Spanish and solve the activities.
This assignment is NOT COMPULSORY. You do not need to hand in your homework as it will NOT ADD ANY POINTS AT ALL TO YOUR SEPTEMBER MARK. However, I would like to advise you to prepare these activities if you want to be successful in your September remedial exams.
IMPORTANT: FACE MASKS WILL BE MANDATORY.
Should you have any queries, please, email me at labor.teacher@gmail.com.
Kind regards,
Raquel

ESO 1: Farewell
According to the schedule conceived three months ago to provide you with some online English practice, you still had to hand in one last file regarding the revision of units 4, 5 and 6. However, after having already received individual revision files from those units, I feel it would be redundant for you to complete reinforcement activities again.
In light of this, I’m glad to inform you that your online English practice has come to an end… at least for now.
As we won’t have the opportunity for a proper face to face farewell, I must say it was a pleasure to be your teacher this year. You’ve been such a nice group of hardworking students and better human beings. I’m looking forward to seeing each other in September, hopefully in a better scenario, where in-class teaching will take the lead again.
Please, find the answers for unit 6 activities by clicking on the link below.

Safely enjoy your summer time, since you deserve it. All the best,
