Dear Elham Briana Mikhail Andre Simone Claire Ed Pablo and all other silent members, (If you just joined us here,please make some noise by taking part in our discussions,be it older topics or newer ones!:))
In reply to Q2 I posted on March 11th,"Have you ever met someone who turned out to be very different to what you imagined they were like at first? In what ways were they different?" Being an ESL/EFL teacher in Poland,I have been given plenty of opportunities of meeting quite a few students from all walks of life since about 3.5 years ago. I have to say that they all surprise me in very intriguing and enjoyable ways. I have been told that I am the craziest,the best or the most unpredictable or the most communicative teacher they've ever met.:P While being asked "A risk you took,"one 39 year-old man student said without hesitation that it was coming to my optional conversation class because he couldn't use any Polish at all with me.;) He said he was soon relieved after seeing my friendly and soothing smile. Another 31 year-old man student when answering to the question,"A place you love" said it was being there with me in the classroom.;) One 34 year-old man student even told me that he came for English,but got double value of the tuition which his American-Italian joint venture company paid for him because everytime after our class,he felt so lighthearted and relaxed as if he came for a psychiatrist's visit.;) One 26 year-old woman student gave me a pet name:'Energetic Bomb'! But that very first student I mentioned earlier told the whole class it was an understatement... He said it should be 'Extra Energetic Bomb!' They all agreed that if I'm already crazy with a mug of strong black coffee a day,they couldn't imagine how I would behave in class if I combine it with the consumption of chocolate which is the love of most Polish people!LOL Wonderful Weekend,everyone around this magical globe!
