Kidz talk
I was practising oral conversation with one of my favourite students. The picture was depicting a scene from a bank. There was an old lady who appeared angry and raising her hand; it seemed like she was scolding the bank teller who was serving her.
student: The old woman is mad. She is angry.
me: Yes. What do you think the lady should do?
student: I don't know.
me: Ok... you can say that, "maybe the lady should be patient with the lady... because... sometimes, old people...."
student: Ya. The lady must be patient because sometimes, old people forget how to behave themselves. They don't know how to behave properly.
me: (laughs)
Later...
student: I think the old lady should not make noise. The baby also (there's a lady carrying a crying baby in the picture). The policeman should catch them and ask them to get out.
me: Oh...
student: I think the policeman should take the gun and shoot them. Shoot the baby. He's making too much noise.
me: (laughs) You are very violent, you know...
student: (laughs)
I hope she's just kidding... it's kinda scary... She's only in Pri 2.
