Yes! What my post refers to is the cultural-loaded words teaching just as your examples.
Most of words have different connotations depending on different cultures.
Can I share your experience of teaching this kind of words?
Thank you!

Teaching culture-loaded words
As we know, culture teaching is very important for language teaching. But teaching of culture-loaded words still remains eclipsed in the actual teaching and learning process. Who can suggest some methods of teaching culture-loaded words in secondary schools? Thanks!

Dear Louise Blair
I can profoundly understand your mood ! :( I used to be a Chinese English teacher in a private middle school in Beijing. My experiences are the same as yours. The students were not interested in English study, or I can say that they were not interested in any subjects. At that time, I was so puzzled...
