ESL-isms

I’ve decided to share some of the things that my students write in their journals.  Some of them are really cute and funny.  Those little rascals really make me smile sometimes.  It’s amazing how insightful they can be when you figure out what they are trying to say.  Sometimes I wish we could just communicate on the same level because I could understand them so much better.  Then again, if we could communicate on the same level, I guess they wouldn’t need a teacher. These entries will be posted exactly as they are written.  They won’t make much sense, but give them a break – they’re Chinese.

Question: Is it ever okay to steal?  In what situation would be alright to steal from someone?

“Not really.  If you steal other’s things, like money, diamond…, is not okay.  If you steal other’s heart, I think that is okay, because it is good for each other, maybe.  So, the things you steal is others, the things belong to others, not you, and the things is other hardworking to get, you cannot steal others fruits.  Heart is not, you can steal it, but you can only steal one, you can not steal more, because if you steal more, it is a hurt to the heart formerly.”

ZEDONK!

OMG!  I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these before!  For some reason, this excites me a lot more than it should.

I think I just wet myself

Good grief.  How did they manage to fit so many hotties into a film that actually seems meaningful?  Don’t they know that Taylor Kitsch and Ryan Phillipe in combination could kill a girl?

You are truly delectable. Please be my valentine.

I don't mind that you cheated on Reese, honey. I will still take you.

Second Go

Everytime I watch this video, I think about how fun it must have been to make.  Let’s be real – everyone dreams of rolling around in and splattering paint all over white walls at some point in their lives.  The song’s not too bad either.  I wonder how they made the video.  Her lips match up with the words, but the motions look sped up.   Maybe she lip synced to a slow version?  One of the mysteries of life, I suppose!

Love The Way You Lie

I really like this video!  I think the people involved did a  great job.  I’ve always been a big fan of Dominic Monaghan, but who would want “Cindy” when MEGAN FOX is waiting at home?  Then again, he’s shacking up with Evangeline Lilly, so I guess he’s not doing too bad for himself .

Sadly Honestly, this is probably the best work that I have seen from Megan Fox.. looking sultry and pissed off seems to be her strong suit I have never seen her do much else.  She does her best work when she doesn’t move or speak.  I still laugh about her quote from Entertainment Weekly when they questioned her about her looks: “Well, I’m clearly not ugly.” No you AIN’T, Megan.. no you ain’t.
