Blogging about my students is probably not a good idea. I mean, they’re adults and everything, but in my view the English-language classroom ought to be a sanctuary where mistakes can be made without fear. However, I wonder if it’s ok to share a short interaction from today:
Student: “The concert starts at 1 o’clock.”
Me: “1 o’clock in the morning or in the afternoon?”
Student: “What is ‘afternoon’? Is it after, er, noon? Aaaaaaahhhhh afternoon!”
I just love to see the light bulb go off 🙂
Meanwhile, in half-marathon related news – it looks like Sunday morning 7am might be raining and 47F (8C). Awesome. I think not.
