facts you didn't know about the world around you

So, we're currently doing variations of the infamous "Country Project" in four classes -- three low-level first year classes, and in the second-year international course. Essentially, students have to research foreign countries, make a poster, and give a presentation about it in English.

Without further ado, I present you some of the first-years' funnier presentation quotes.



“People eat many food in Austria. For example, they eat potato food.”

“People eat many foods in Egypt. For example, they eat dove. It is doves chicken.”

“Many picture are famous in Italy. Monaliza is very famous. It is by Reonald."

“Europa is in Prague.”
Oh, yeah? Do they know that?


And, my personal favorite:
“People eat many foods in Australia. For example, they eat Genghis Khan.”

In the last kid's defense, I've heard that some insane percentage of people are descended from Genghis Khan. So, you know, if there were cannibals in Australia, there's a chance they'd be eating his great great ad nauseum grandkids. Which kind've counts. Almost.
