my little food provider hit an all-time low last week- she gave me an orange peel after class. i think she was trying to tell me that i could put it in some hot water or something. i thought i accepted it graciously, but perhaps not enough because a minute later she also gave me an apple. her english is not that great, but i have noticed that she is participating more this semester than last semester. she always looks so self-satisfied after she speaks that i can't bear to correct her. in fact, i do very little grammar correction. i just want the students to enjoy speaking english and to not be afraid to give it a try.
How much will they enjoy it when they become adults and realize how little they truly know.
ReplyDeletelol, they will know less if they don't practice it. there are young people here who can pass their english exams with flying colors but can't speak or understand a lick of it. other people don't have perfect grammar or anything like that but can communicate very well.
