This poster can't be for real, surely?
I'm not sure what's meant by trolling (trolls under bridges I know - or is that ogres?) I guess it's posters who are just trying to get a 'bite'.
Anyway, Firecracker I suggested onestopenglish in an earlier post but they're not free. You could also try: bogglesworldesl.com

Dear Hindi2610,
"As I'm understanding, this is no problem as you'll not be needing many skills to do well in the ESL classroom. I'm told that as long as we're speaking native English and have a degree, even if not real, we're good as golden. The CELTA is paper and good for putting the foot in the door. Otherwise a winner's smile and a pleasing delivery of lesson are what's in need!"
If you're not just trolling with that absurd comment above, then I truly pity your poor students.
Regards,
John |
Most definitely a troll.
The combination of obvious name and the stereotypical Indian/ English usage give it away. The misuse of idioms would embarrass a 1970s Britsh sit-com script writer.
A selection of Hindi2610's pithy sayings:
"China on the mind, China in the heart, U.S. beneath the feet? Sounds like a fish right outside the water! Are you swimming upstream or something?"
"Well if you're not capable to teach to the pupils proper forms, may I kindly ask why you're spanning the globe spreading willy nilly forms? Just whistling Dixie? Step out of the post and let professionals in the game!"
"Perhaps you should learn the rules of proper capitalizing and punctuating before you go asking others to pay for your skills! And another thing, prepositions don't go at the end of a sentence! I hope you'll do better where the rubber hits the road!"
"Well, good news, amigo, the job search is going pleasingly and look like I'll soon be signing on an 8,000rmb contract. So I guess the doubting Toms can crawl back to the rock they came!"
etc etc |

I think am knowing this for certainly!
It's important to not let trolls wind us down or get our spines up. They sign up on forums like this cleanly to build waves. I am keeping my knuckles crossed that this particular troll is getting ill of this soon time.
I have not been liking what I am seeing when I cast off my eyes over this trolls postings. A hodge podge of wishy washy willy-nillyness. |
