RAISE HELL

Hi, there. I'm sorry I have missed a few lessons: I'm on sick leave but I hope I'll soon be back at the school.
As the other day, in class, somebody mentioned the VAT increase in Spain and we talked about the verbs RISE (intransitive) and RAISE (transitive), I'm including on this post a couple of links to articles about this subject in which we can see the use of these two verbs. Do you feel like reading about the economy?

BY THE SKIN OF MY TEETH

A new academic year starts! How many things to do and to learn! It's exciting! Let's hope it proves useful and interesting! Let's hope it makes us better!

STICKS AND STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES, BUT (WORDS WON'T HURT ME)

What hurts you more? Nasty words, insults, people looking down on you, somebody putting you down  or physical violence? Are you immune to criticism?
