Merry Christmas (in advance), everybody! Today is my last day at work before the holiday, and I'm shipping out to Korea on Wednesday. Before I go, here's a little gift from me and my students to you: hilarious and/or charming quotes lifted from their English papers. Guaranteed to give you a smile, or your money back.
First, some gems from the notes of our recently-completed country project. (First-year high schoolers.)
Attempting to describe Big Ben:
“There is big time.”
“I think Ireland is grand.”
“Egypt is mysterious.”
“I like Australia. So, I felt good.”
Sphinx = "sfincs"
Problem = "ploglam"
And, perhaps most tragically,
“Her poster is very pimple.”
Next, let's hear some of the junior high third-years' Christmas wishes.
"This Christmas I want a Gundam because it is cool."
(Note: a Gundam is a type of giant robot.)
"This Christmas I want some money because I want money."
"This Christmas I want smile because I love happy."
"This Christmas, I want a car or motorbike. But I cannot drive."
And last,
"This Christmas I want a lot of knowledge because I want to defend people."
Bonus! A scrawled nonsequitur from the back of the same student's paper:
"Yes I can. Obama said that yes we can."
Well, I hope you enjoyed those...I know I did.
Happy Holidays!
